hey foo i listened to ep# 55 and heard something about beave creek oregon.
well i live in oregon and just had to know where beaver creek is so i
did a little google search for it…..
SO beaver creek oregon is about 2 1/2 hours away from my house and
there was a little info about the town. here is just a little of what
i found:
Beaver Creek is a small unincorporated community in Clackamas County,
Oregon. It is named after the creek that flows through the community.The Christian Church in Beaver Creek was organized in 1878, with 39
members by 1880, and led by preacher J. L. Wigle in 1881. Other points
of interest include the St. Peters Congregational Cemetery.
The telephone service in Beaver Creek is run by a local co-op which is
now expanding into nearby Oregon City.
PS: there is a arch shaped bridg in the middle of the city.
OK, this is one way to get out of the map, what you first need is an
Elite Body and a Spectre, then go behind blue base/cave (kinda in the
middle) with the spectre and climb the wall. You need to get to the
high cliff right behind blue base(real easy to get up on the cliff with
banshee but you NEED a spectre to get out of the map), the hardest part
of this glitch is climbing up the ledge with the Spectre. When your up
the cliff go forward a little and you should see a bump that slants,
park your spectre on the slant (make sure your right side is facing
outside the map), when its perfectly parked in the slant position get
out and your elite will jump outside the map. Hope this tip helps, keep
up the good work Podtacular!
You need a Wraith and Scorpion with this glitch, have the Scorpion
charge straight at the Wraith and when a little bit of the front is
covering the Wraith it should boost and if you did it right the
Scorpion will go flying and bouncing like a pinball. Sometimes the
Scorpion driver might die.
The second tank flying glitch is when you have 2 Scorpions. Flip one
upside down so its wheels are facing the sky, then take the second tank
and put it straight on top of it. Then flip the bottom tank and the top
one will go flying if done correctly. Sometime it wont work but keep
trying. Keep up the good work Podtacular!
I have a quick tip that very few people seem to know and that is very cool. I like to call it the ‘meditation glitch personally. If you jump in one spot continuously up and down without pressing any other buttons than ‘A’, you will eventualy ‘glitch’ and will be standing in mid air. Not only does this freak out your friends, but can be empolyed in matchmaking to reach high, hard to reach spots. Bear in mind that this requires much patience, and does not always occur right away. I’m not sure what causes the glitch but i belive it is a matter of perfectly timing your jumps so that you hit ‘A’ at the exact moment you land back on the ground. For instance, it can be used to reach the sniper post from the walkway, on the second floor, in Ivory Tower.
Whether it can be mastered and effectively used in matchmaking remains to be seen, but never the less it is something which is fun to do in custom games and mess around with when your really bored.
P.S… Just to let you guys know i’m from Bermuda, which i hope you guys have heard of????
on headlong if you fly at a high spot with the banshee without boosting
you can get out of the map easily.
also to find superbouces, press start, Y, B, and for a split second it
looks really wried, so look at the ground when you do that and usally
where there ar lines intersecting you can do a superbounce there.
usally you have too crouch somewhere. anywhere with a slant coming
toward you should do. also if your host it is harder to superbounce. me
and my friend found four on worlock and two on zanzibar this way.
Hey guys i have a cool glitch for Burial Mounds. ok to do this glitch
you need two people(one spartan), a wraith, and of course be on Burial
Mounds (DAH). Ok, get one person to walk over to the burning pillar
where the ghost spawns and stand up against it. then get the other
person to get in the wraith, and boost into the guy against the burning
pillar. the guy standing there should fall down the pillar and die. but
the cool part is that when the guy falls and dies a giant hologram
thing of the guy that was killed appears across the whole level. it’s
really cool.
TERMINATORLLAMAPS- This will also work with a ghost, which i found out in matchmaking.
i was in team slayer on Burial Mounds running in front of the burning
pillar when a guy in a ghost came up and smashed me into the pillar,
killing me and of course, putting a big image of my guy across the
level. my whole team was like WTF. then a week later i was looking up
glitches for Halo 2 on the internet and i found that one. i had done it
on accident.
a really cool glitch i found was on the level Delta Halo. Right at the
beginning, behind the turrent closest to you when you spawn, you can
walk through the bushes…and get into the background mountains! i’ve
gone into the barly textured background and spent at least 2 hours
exploring, and climbing up practicaly verticle mountains! when you do
this, make sure to h=do it in Co-Op because it is very easy to fall of
the edge of a mountain and die. that way, you have someone to respawn
you.
i got a weird glitch,if you shoot those metal things at the beach of
relic with a gauss hog,it will launch in the air,then shoot it once
more to make it flip like crazy
hey Podtacular, I have a glitch for you. Make sure you have the usual
Glitches setup: oversheilds, rockets, swords, etc. and then put tank
scorpion tank as your big veichle. Then, go to the level Zannzibar. Get
in the tank and drive to the side of the big wheel where the base is.
Then, drive your tank onto the wheel. Wait for the wheel to pick you up
then drive forward. Doing this right you will go flying on top of the
base. However, if you do it wrong you will still go into the base or
bounse around. I have actually bounced over the seawall and outside the
level. Be careful, you might commit suicide if you bounce to many
times.
Hey Podtacular this is plasma qrenades and I have two teleporter
glitches. The first one is on most teleporters you can jump right as
you are going through the teleporter and you will go in the air when
you go through and you won’t be assassinated. A second one is on the
teleporter on Gemini by the Beam Rifle. You walk around the back of the
teleporter and hold forward and your radar will show if the enemy is on
the other side. Most of the time they will also come through after you
for an easy kill.
Ok this one is for Relic. Use a game Varient that has oversheilds on and
make it a slayer game that has rockets as starting weapon and second as
swords, just like a glitch game. ANYWAYS, go to relic and go to the
warthog spawn by the crashed peilican or ship. Whip out that sword and
start thrashing one of those metal sheild things. Either you can wack
at it with a sword or use a warthog to push it. Move the sheild metal
thing to the front of the Relic, about 4 feet away from the Relic.
Next Take out your rockets. Look down at the supports of the sheild and
stand at the very end of the one on the ground. Then look up to the
part
of the sheild where there is the indent |
| Aim your rocket right on the indent or an inch or to below.
THEN SHOOT. The support on \_/ acts as a catapult that launches you towards the top of the
Relic where you can mess around. This is alot easier than a super jump
but it may take a while to get the support there and the placement of
your spartan and the sheild. IN party games of different people,
usually only the host can do it but this is not always.
got another glitch for you guys,this one is fun,go to sanctuary with
magnums only,aim at someones head while the both of you stand still,tap
right trigger and Y a couple of times at the same time,it should say
that person was killed by the gaurdians,also,if you run and do this
you’ll kill yourself.
hey i gotta tip for the campaign map Outskirts. This is extremely useful
on Legendary. First you must find the secret skull in the map
Quarantine
Zone that makes your melee attacks and grenades more powerful. After
you
get that, load up the level Outskirts. Now once you go into the big
courtyard at the beginning of the level you can use your advanced melee
attacks to move boxes in front of all the entrances that enemies come
from. they will still come but will stay behind the boxes leaving you
to throw a sticky and kill them all.
Alight. In the level Outskirts, there is an easy way to skip the
snipers and drones and crap. In fact, you get all the way to Hotel
Zanzibar (the first place you use the flashlight). On the ground
level, in the first open area, there is a truck. Keep going past the
flipped truck and there will be an alleyway on your right. Go into it
and turn left. There will be a small pile of garbage. Use that and
duck-jump on to the ledge. There will be another ledge straight ahead
that you can jump to and then get to the roof of the building you’re
on. Once you’re on the roof, look for a dark grayish brown arch and
keep jumping up. You’ll see the area where the bridge is broken and
a Pelican drops marines. Go onto the bridge. If you jump onto the lip
of the bridge, you can duck-jump up to the slanted roof. Run to the
right and jump to the other rooftop and follow it until you come to a
copper plated roof. Keep going until you see 2 air conditioning units.
Jump up and look left. There is a chunk taken out of the side of the
building. Jump in and you get a Sword. From here you can just follow
the street to the hotel and deliver sweet justice to the Covenant with
your new sword.
For all the campaign n00bs out there that cant beat the second boarding party on legendary on the first level, GLewis’s got your back.
First off take out the two grunt gunners on the plasma turrents, duh.
From here find a plasma pistol and work the elites with a noob combo, its much easier than anything else. Keep a close eye on the opening of the covenant boarding Craft and watch for when new enemies begin to spill out. Just before they are about to fall out of the opening chuck a plasma grenade under their feet and try to get a few headshots.
Besides the two turrents at the beginning dont even worry about the rest of the grunts, because they’ll just waste your ammo. Try to take ‘em out when throwing grenades at elites. Focus mainly on the elites, like i said the noob combo works best. Your only other alternative is really plasma grenades and Battle rifle or the plasma pistol, human pistol combo.
While using the noob try to get out in the opening because it will lure the elites closer to you, which makes for a better chance of landing the crucial plasma pistol shot. Dont even try to hit them with the plasma pistol if their near a box or crate because they’ll just slide right behind it out of harms way.
Lastly, dont get impatient! If you lose shield then yes hide. It may feel degrading but hey you gotta win somehow.
on the great journey where johnson shoots the scarab at the door,take
your banshee in,fly up in the room then fly to the door,get out to open
the door,hop back in,feul rod the brutes and cha-ching.when starting
the
battle,back track where the elites are coming from and it should still
be there.
