Tricks Suggestion DB is offline.

While we'd love to provide all of you with unlimited bandwidth and space for everything you can think of to submit, we are limited in our resources, and so need to create some basic rules. The main one is that if the trick already exists in our collection, and your submission adds nothing of substance, we aren't going to be able to post it. (For example, if you send us a bunch of pics of all the vehicles on Blood Gulch stuffed into a base, we're going to have to pass - it's been done. If you send us pictures of a Ghost (or a lot of Ghosts) on top of the Blood Gulch 'Tower'... we'll pass on that, too. However, if you can send us a shot of a Scorpion on the Tower, we'd be happy to post it.)

DT_Spike Blood Gulch Vehicle Collection 12 December 2001
DT_Spike puts as many vehicles on top of the Blood Gulch Bases as he can. Since these pictures were taken, folks have managed to put a pair of Scorpions up there, too... but Spike was the first to document the practice.
Brizzle Blood Gulch Vehicle Antics 15 January 2002
Brizzle sends in good pictures of the Blood Gulch base rather filled with vehicles, including a Scorpion tank. He includes a nice shot of the tank in a position which is nearly immune to snipers while still being able to be used as an offensive weapon.
Johnnycab & MuFF DaDDy Ghost in the Mach - erm, Tree 16 January 2002
Some ghostly fun (as Johnnycab puts it...); Ghosts (and even a Warthog) up in a tree on Blood Gulch. That's how my sister drives...
Tom Wittman Up in a Tree 21 January 2002
The bases on Blood Gulch have trees out in front - Tom and friends managed to put a body or two (breathing, and not) up in the branches. Not bad!
Amechwarrior Climbing Out of Blood Gulch 27 January 2002
Do the walls of Blood Gulch look too steep for you to climb? They're not...
Metafire Getting to the Tower in Blood Gulch 29 January 2002
Another technique for climbing out of the Blood Gulch gravity well... this one involves some tank fire and careful timing, but the results are worth it.
Cal Blood Gulch Tower 31 January 2002
Step-by-step instructions for getting to the towering rock outcrop on Blood Gulch - no rockets or tanks needed!
Cal Stuffing the Blood Gulch Base 1 February 2002
In answer to EGM's challenge (putting all the vehicles inside a Blood Gulch base), Cal has created this series - yes, he managed to get BOTH tanks in there. Check the last pic - the Halo physics engine WILL complain if you push it too hard.
Spike Lee Standing that Tank Up 6 February 2002
Someone else puts a Scorpion on end... pretty funny to see!
CrazyIvan Green Smoke 4 April 2002
That teleporter glow actually flakes off!
SnypeRo & Sphere Wall Shooting 19 April 2002
Another example (the last, I think, that we'll post) of the 'Blood Vent' phenomenon - when these metal walls are shot, in the right circumstances the residue can look like blood.
Terror-DC- On TOP of Blood Gulch's Tower 19 April 2002
Standing on top of the Tower in Blood Gulch - folks have been at its base for months, but i've never seen a pic from the top.
HALOVETS Getting the Warthog out of Blood Gulch 19 April 2002
Ghosts on top of Blood Gulch? Sure. People? Yep. Hogs? Not until now...
Geeoff Even Higher on Blood Gulch 25 April 2002
Lots of people have gotten out of Blood Gulch... but most have used explosives. Not Geeoff!
Various Warthogs and Towers... 27 April 2002
A warthog in the tower... a warthog ON the tower. And a nice little movie showing how to get one there.
Geeoff Putting a Scorpion on the Blood Gulch Base 27 April 2002
Finally - a movie showing an easy way to put a Scorpion on top of the Blood Gulch base. Now maybe that mail will slow down...
Been Mawed All over the top of Blood Gulch 30 April 2002
Lots of people have played up in Blood Gulch's Tower - and a little bit above it. Now the entire top has been mapped! These guys took some gorgeous pics... and plotted out the highest point on Blood Gulch.
Various Clipping for Fun and Profit 11 May 2002
An exploration of a glitch whose consequences range from novelties to the seriously practical. Three tricks in one!
Wizco/Destr0yer Another way out of Blood Gulch 14 August 2002
Yet another way Off the Map in Blood Gulch - takes a Ghost and nothing else, and it hasn't been documented yet.
Bonk Teleport Fun 14 August 2002
This sort of skill deserves recognition.
MasterOmok Loading a Teleporter 9 October 2002
A bizarre collision detection glitch. Not sure how this is useful... but it's pretty funny to see!
