Halo Reach Tricking Q&A

[OTfor2]

be careful when you spawn on a teammate in a narrow location in invasion: if any part of your body is in a solid object, you'll die.

Anyone know why sometimes on winter contingency the falcon can't be plasma pistoled? Same exact path I always take, it just sometime won't work. Happens more often on co-op.

Didn't it have something to do with a member of Noble Team being in there or not? If one is in there, it can't (from what I've heard).

Also, next time you're online I need you to try out this puzzlemap I'm working on. :D you were really good at solving them in Halo 3 lol.

Is this an easter egg or not?

It's inside one of the glass buildings on the package/glacier, it's the one that's just next ton the grunt landing zone, you have to jump over a few rocks to be able to look through the glass, and there's this thing all alone in a big empty room, lying on the ground near the only window you can access easily to look through.

I don't remember seeing any other one of these, maybe in Halsey's lab, I haven't explored it very thoroughly.

Wait a few seconds, aim at a different part of it, the cockpit usually works the best for me.

Did anyone else notice that in New Alexandria, when you have to blow up the thingies(Yeah. I know. Shush.) and are then attacked by drones, that the entire area is basically Ivory Tower from Halo 2? Complete with the fountain in the middle where the rocket launcher would be located.

...yeah. That's what they were going for. The multiplayer map Reflection is pulled directly from the campaign which was based on Ivory tower. This was mentioned by the bungie staff when they were showing videos of each respective multiplayer map.

I think Stevie Wonder didn't notice.

Ugh. I feel stupid. I don't play Multiplayer, as I don't have Live, so I've never entered any of the maps except Hemorrhage or whatever to see the new Gulch. Other than that, though, I barely spent more than a few seconds in that building any time I ever played that particular level.

I don't think its an easter egg. If there is only one in the game, it's probably because it was finished last minute or something like that.

Could someone put together a simple video (or text, if that is all that is needed) showcasing the current, known launching techniques?
