Unintended Consequences
Mat Noguchi's blog answers another niggling question about why a certain glitch occurs. You may have noticed that the Scorpion tank can be used as a catapult, of sorts; if you're standing on an upside-down one, and flip it ('Press X to flip'), you'll be launched pretty darn high. (This was first noticed about 2 months after the Xbox was released.) Now we know why. (This phenomenon has ALSO been exploited for some of the coolest high-jumps out there that use a Warthog; Dark Helmet discovered that if he climbed to the top level of the Blue Beam towers, then launched a Warthog with grenades on the ground below him, he could use the 'Press X to flip' temporary invincibility to get the hog to bump HIM into the sky. This can be seen in several released films - here's one.) Thanks to Sir Fragula for noticing the article. (Louis Wu 10:08:37 UTC)
