Hidden Sniper Point:
--------------------
In Outskirts, after you go through the first battle area, go to the second sniper
alley (area with the flies and snipers on roofs past the highway & pelican). Go
straight foreward to the platform with the purple box on it. To your left there
should be another alley and a no dog sign and no littering (red circles). To the
right of the signs, there is a overhang in the alley and then a bridge type thing
above that. Using the platform, jump from it to the overhang and then on the bridge
thing and then the roof. Go to the end of the roof. Jump to the next roof that has
two windows. Go to your right and jump up the steps to the other roof where you
will see the area where you would have gone through if you had gone through the
alley. Across that, there is another building ang there is a hole in the roof.
Jump over there and go through the hole. Then you should see the front of Hotel
Zanzibar.
Guns and Plasmas:
-----------------
To be very effective against any enimies in halo2 you need to have a human weapon
and plasmas in dual weild mode.Here are some examples:
1)Magnum pistol and plasma pistol
2)Plasma rifle and SMG
3)SMG and plasma pistol
4)Brute PLasma and Needlers
Just one thing,against brutes needlers are very devastating.
Alternate intermission sequences:
---------------------------------
If you choose different difficulties in Campaign mode on a level with an opening
sequence, the cut-scenes will have different actions or different sentences. For
example, in Metropolis John says different sentences under other difficulties.
On Delta Halo, watch the grunt next to the Jackal and Turret. It will play with
fire under Legendary or a doll of itself under Heroic.
Catapult:
---------
This trick requires at least two people. First, flip a vehicle (Wraith recommended).
Have your partner sit on the vehicle, then flip it. It should give you good height
and good range. This works well if you have an energy sword out and there is an enemy
close to you.
Ghost tricks:
-------------
* In multi-player-mode, turn on all vehicles and go to a place with open space. Get
in a Ghost and find a tank. Go towards it as fast as you can. You will flip and do
different things, depending on where you hit the tank.
* Choose a level with the yellowish glowing boxes that blow up (Headlong or Waterworks
recommended). Get in a ghost and boost into one of the tiny boxes and you will be
sent flying. You can repeat this as many times as desired, or you can pile the boxes
and be blown sky high.
* Go to any level (Metropolis recommended, when you have to get on the Scarab). Back
the Ghost up to the side of the bridge. It will start hopping up and down.
Jump higher:
------------
Play in co-op mode in any level (Outskirts recommended). Have one player jump on top
of the other. Then, have the player on top jump again and keep pressing [Jump]. Then,
have the lower player jump immediately after the first player. If done correctly, the
top player should land on the lower one (who is in mid-air), then jump again. You can
use this to get on top on locations you cannot reach normally.
This trick can only be done in co-op or multi-player mode. Get next to the structure
that you want to climb. Have a player take out his plasma sword. Have the other player
stand on top and keep jumping in the direction of what you are climbing. While player
two is jumping, have player one look up and use the "Sword cancel" trick. If done
correctly, you can reach any area in the game as long as you do not exceed the
invisible barrier.
On any co-op or multi-player level, have you and a partner find an area where you need
some kind of boost to get to a higher location. Have your partner crouch under that area.
Jump on your partner, then jump (without falling off your partner) as your partner un-
crouches. This should give you a big enough boost to let you jump up to your destination.
You can jump higher by simultaneously pressing [Crouch] while in the air after a jump.
Scraping the "wings" off a Banshee:
-----------------------------------
Line your Banshee up with a wall so that the wing you want to scrape off is opposite
to the wall. Barrel roll into the wall and the wing will hit the wall. This will require
a few attempts to completely scrape the wing off and will drain your shield (if available)
on every hit. Another way is to simply fly at a corner pointing in the direction you are
going, or a pillar. Make sure your wing is the only thing that hits the wall or pillar.
Like the first method, this may take a few attempts and will drain your shield.
Invincible Warthog:
-------------------
On the level "the Outskirts" you will make your way through the level until you pass a
area known as "Zanzibar Hotel" once passing this if you continue forward into the drop
area where the phantom drops a load of covenant look down to your right. You will see
a small little area under you that has a few potted plants in it. This is where the
Invincible Warthog will spawn. Continue through the level until reaching the last
possible checkpoint in the level. (Typica
