Wow. Just... wow.
So Halo (the original game) was released in November, 2001 - and within a month or so, folks were exploring the boundaries of the maps. 2002 was the 'Golden Age' of Halo tricking; the Xbox hadn't been hacked yet, and Halo PC wasn't out yet, so folks were getting out of the maps the old-fashioned way... they were playing by the rules laid down by Bungie (though not always in ways that had been predicted). Tricking continued, but the earlier magic was lost, for a time; tricks were refinements on earlier techniques, rather than new discoveries. As later games were released, however, the community that was left working on Halo (the original) was a community that simply loved those maps - and some pretty impressive tricks, requiring some serious time devotion, were released. Yesterday, more than 7 years after the release of Halo, another one of these was completed. Ms. Man (with lots of feedback from HIH forumgoers) launched himself to the top of 343 Guilty Spark... at the END of the level. (Normally, this sort of launch requires a Shade - and there aren't any at the end of the level. So he brought his own.) The High Impact Halo thread is here (thanks, Evan Volm), the video is here. Hats off to you, Ms. Man. (Louis Wu 21:33:04 UTC)
