Hack 38. Warthog Trampoline

Use the Warthog to blast yourself into the air.

This trick allows you to use the Warthog to toss yourself into the air. Since Bungie has fixed the multiplayer sword-flying glitch, this method is seen as the new way to gain altitude on the multiplayer maps.

The best way to do this is to have two people and at least three players in the game. One player just needs to sit in the Warthog, so no one needs to control his movement. The reason for having someone in the Warthog is that the jeep can withstand more damage if someone is actually in it.

One player should jump onto the back of the Warthog but don't actually board the vehicle. When you are ready, have your friend throw a grenade under the Warthog's bumper (under the gunner seat). It's best to aim for a small area that slants downward this causes the grenade to bounce just right (see Figure 4-34).

Right before the grenade explodes, crouch jump [Hack #1] into the air (see Figure 4-35).

The combination of the grenade explosion and the Warthog flipping will launch you high into the air (see Figure 4-36).

This is currently the best known method for high-jumping at any arbitrary point on a multiplayer map.

While practicing this maneuver, we noticed a funny side effect. Quite often, the player in the Warthog will actually land on the overturned 'hog (see Figure 4-37).
