Halo 2 Jumping

[ViperSRT3g 224]

Much like the Halo fan videos (see http://www.redvsblue.com), Halo 2 jumping has taken on a life of it's own. Groups such as Jump Tactics (http://www.jumptactics.net) have raised the bar when it comes to the difficulty and complexity of Halo 2 jumping techniques.

 

Some sites have even started "jump" game tournaments. Instead of fighting each other, players engage in a game similar to HORSE. One player challenges another to perform a particular jump. If a player fails to meet the jump challenge, a referee penalizes him with aletter. Some of the more esoteric jumping techniques are vital for players to learn.

 

Many of these trick jumps require considera, on Xbox Livble practice, so I met up with Kahai Maluu, the founder of Jump Tactics. Kahai demonstrated some of the more difficult jumping maneuvers. in fact, we captured some screenshots for this chapter during that online session.

 

Unfortunately, we don't have space to include all of the jumping techniques (http://www.jumptactics.net/modules.php?name=Downloads). I recomment that you check out the online videos of each technique.

Yeah, but this isnt usefull for MLG or XBL...

 

When your seriously playing, you dont wanna mess around doing fancy jumps...

Eh... I think using the "Superbounce", as the book calls it, is fun when you just want to mess around with friends.

Especially in LAN parties. Besides, I've seen people on Live try to do one on Coagulation, and get sniped immediately

afterwards.
