Hack 44. Find the Mysterious Super Jump

Fly without any help whatsoever.

This glitch is strange but impressive. There are some mysterious spots on Halo 2 maps that will hurl you into the air. To reproduce this behavior on the Coagulation map, simply walk up to a base and follow these instructions. This glitch works on both the Red and Blue bases.

At either base, find the Plasma Pistol spawn spot it's behind the base. Now, while on the ramp, look to your left, you will see a cubbyhole of sorts (see Figures 5-17 and 5-18). In order to reach this cubbyhole this is the tricky part you must run off the edge of the ramp while still facing the cubby, and then crouch in midair.

Now, once you are in the cubby, locate the corner of the base directly in front of you. Get this corner in the middle of your weapon reticle (see Figure 5-19).

Start walking forward and after approximately five seconds, tap the A button. This will cause you to fall. While falling, continue to hold your joystick forward. If done correctly, you will go soaring into the air (see Figure 5-20).

If you want to attempt something a little more complex, you can try performing a double bounce. Before you attempt this variation, you should have already mastered the single bounce technique.

To bounce a second time, you must land in the teleporter on top of the base. This is not as easy as it sounds; you have to land exactly in the middle of the teleporter. If you are able to stick the landing you will teleport as usual, but upon exiting the transit you will go flying into the air. This second bounce sends you even higher and at a greater speed than the single bounce.

If you experiment with the jump at the Red base, you will find that upon exiting the teleporter, you have a chance to land on some trees. This can prove to be an effective sniper perch.
