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.)

Submitter Content Submission Date Media
Ben Kane/Greg Mouland Halo Exploration 7 January 2002
Ben and Greg have spent many hours getting to the 'top' of the solo levels; places Bungie never really expected you to go. In many cases, the areas aren't even textured. It's fun to push the limits!

Team 7HR33 turns in a nice little movie showing how to DESCEND from the top of Silent Cartographer... with s7yle.

How to get to the top of Silent Cartographer (without explosives), plus some explosive-aided shots.
R.G. Warthog Jump 6 February 2002

Squeezin' a hog down to the map room... you get some pretty bizarre views on the way down!

Gabe Harris/Metafire Bridge of Bodies on Silent Cartographer 13 March 2002
Gabe Harris found a bizarre forcefield effect around some trees - he had a bit of trouble with the pics, though, so Frogblast helped out.

Tango6 Pelican Experimentation (from the inside) 11 April 2002
Playing around with Pelicans... what you can see when you get inside. (Inside the cockpit, not just the cargo bay.)
xbill Shaft Challenge 11 April 2002
