In Response To: Oh. Well, in that case.. (pete_the_duck)
: Eek! I'll tell!
: The clearest clue to how it's done is seen in the Truth and Reconciliation
: series. The airborn Shade isn't there just for fun (well, it wasn't at
: first anyway). Both tricks involve a form of Vehicle jumping..oh..here's
: where it becomes unreasonably complicated and difficult..you'll need to be
: in coop for both of these
: For Halo: You'll want to park your Warthog at the intersection of the 3 arms
: of the river. There's a large rock there on the side of the cliff
: overhang..place the Warthog so the front edge is on the rock and the rear
: is facing the cliff you want to land on.
: Now you'll want to drop a good dozen grenades directly in front of the
: Warthog (they'll all fall in line against the rock). Now, get a plasma
: grenade and stand at the Warthog's side. Trigger a checkpoint with another
: player while you're in this position because you'll have to do this a
: whole lot.
: Throw a grenade underneith the center of the Warthog. You'll have 1.5-2
: seconds to run to the back of the Warthog (get about another Warthog's
: distance), then leap towards the Warthog in such a way that you're midair
: when the grenade goes off. The Warthog will lift slightly into the air for
: a moment before the rest of the grenades detonate..this is when you have
: to try and press X to grab a seat at the gun.
: Now, one of three things will happen. If you're really lucky, you'll find
: yourself seated comfortably at the gun while the Warthog flies through the
: air and lands on top of the cliff. Less likely, but still possible, you'll
: find yourself above the Warthog when it gains it's incredible upwards
: velocity. This will catapolt you into the air, where you have a good
: chance of making it to the cliff if you don't go too low or too high.
: Lastly, and most likely, you'll just get blown up and die.
: You'll need alot of patience for this (especially if you're trying to get the
: Warthog up with you)..but it's possible
: The second trick, Truth and Reconciliation, is pretty similar. In the first
: area there are two Shades..take the closest one and push it towards the
: higher ground on the left (park it a slight distance from the cliff)..and
: proceed to put, oh..maybe 20 grenades under it. Save one plasma grenade
: and stick it in your pocket for later.
: Next, run up onto the higher ground, get a coop buddy up there..jump on his
: head..and then jump onto the highest ledge..position yourself so you're
: looking down, directly above the Shade. Send your buddy off to trigger a
: checkpoint while you're in this position.
: Now, practice a bit throwing the grenade in various locations and seeing how
: the Shade reacts. You'll want to find a spot that you can throw the
: grenade to that will have it fly almost directly up. Next, toss the
: grenade there and give yourself a moment to pause before jumping into the
: path the Shade will take (a plasma grenade takes roughly the same amount
: of time to detonate as a Sniper rifle takes to reload, if you need any
: help). You'll want to do this just as the grenade goes off.
: Since there's no chance of hitching a ride in the Shade's seat (You can only
: be prompted to 'Press X to flip..'), you'll have to use it's incredible
: upward force to throw you into the sky. Think of it like a catapolt.
i'm too sick to read anything but this post, but i just want to say:
brilliant! :)
