Ultimate Stunting Tutorial: complete after 7 years

[Ducain]

The cryo tube must be cracked briefly for yet another incredible feat of endurance by an HIH community member. Passed along via the HIH Facebook group is the Ultimate Stunting Tutorial by -=Mator=-. I'm pleased to post this because the entire spirit of the project, to say nothing of the content, is what many of us have always loved about the game and the community that surrounded it. Below, -=Mator=- gives an overview of the project, and links so you can get watching.

"Back in 2007, I started a project to document stunts/tricks on the map Blood Gulch on Halo PC. I had been inspired by videos by Ms. Man, BigGruntyThirst, and the TSM clan, and had an overwhelming hunger for Halo stunting. At the time when I started this project I knew only around 30 stunts on Blood Gulch, so I considered it a pretty easy endeavor to make a tutorial video for all of them. But, as many of you are aware, there are more than just 30 stunts on Blood Gulch. Over the years I learned more, and the project grew, and grew, and grew. Until it became a colossus, a hulking collection of 400 stunts on Blood Gulch.

Today, 7 years after I started the project, I bring the result. Balancing vehicles and clipping them into geometry. Launching across the map at 500m/s. Walking up the inside of walls. Getting on top of cliffs. With over 4 hours of tricking content, this video has it all. I've put my heart and soul into this project. Enjoy."

Posting a reply to my own thread, because I can, and because HIH is unlocked. So there.

Congratulations, Mator!
I know how important this project is to you so it's awesome to see that your efforts finally pay off!

This should be in the Museum of Modern Art.

If somehow you're here, but not on the HIH Facebook group, you're missing out.

Now thats awesome. Can't think of a better way to revive HIH than with the original game/map

..gotta say I'm also pretty disappointed in myself for not changing my password in all these years

Heartbleed your heart out.

I also want to say that I'll be using this project as the prime example whenever I'm trying to explain tricking/HIH to anyone. The amount of work put into this and the absolutely thoroughness is unbelievable.

[Spuff]

This is definitely worth opening the front page for!

This is incredible. Good work!

Also, I miss you all! I miss being younger and having less responsibility. Let's get together soon!!

Touch Mah Ankles.

Whoa.... Phasmo, what have you been up to lately!?! Haven't talked to you in forever.

This is awesome! Glad to see HIH be unfrozen to recognize your hard work. Great job Mator!

Hey, hey, hey.

Excited to watch the vid, even more excited to be posting right now. (P.S. I DID think the whole forum would be open, not just one thread. Oh well...)

EDIT: Just realized I can finally hit 7,000 posts today!

[uberfoop]

Amazing, you woke up HIH.

[Brain Virus]

Wow that was pretty epic!

(Man, thats two times this year we have got Ducain to wake HIH up from cryo. Keep it up! Eventually he will just have to awaken it permanently :P )

[Shad0wFlame]

Good news, everyone! All it takes to wake up HIH for a day or two is seven years of work. =)

@MaToR: Very nice work on series. Can't wait to see the next map!
@Tbird: 'Grats on the (upcoming) 7k!
@GF: I live 2 hours from Boston now. HIHCon 2015?

@All: ...anyone else who might not get the Master Chief Collection? (no XB1)


PS: Oddly comforting to have the vowels & 0 for a while! (It's ShdwFlm everywhere else now.)

[ODST]

Glad to see this place awake, even if temporary. Awesome work Mator!

[The Voice Of Truth]

I can't believe my browser remembered my username and password Incredible effort on this vid, great stuff.

[marioman769]

Hopefully Ducain forgot about putting HIH back in cyro?

[Ducain]

Ok guys, shutting the lid - left it open a bit longer this round for the heck of it. Cheers.
