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.)

Enzyver/Scoot Hill Banshee Tutorial 21 January 2002
Wondering how to get that first Banshee down on Assault on the Control Room? Here's a pictorial walkthrough!
Mark Levin Video Banshee Tutorial 22 January 2002
Mark Levin gives us a 7 MB, 1:30-long movie (QT format) showing the takedown of the first Assault on the Control Room Banshee (the same one covered by Enzyver, above, in stills). Worth watching if you're having trouble bringing it down! (He shows multiple locations for shooting.)

Update: Several people have written in to point out that a much easier way to take this Banshee down is to simply fire a rocket up into the bottom of the platform - the impact will force the Banshee off after a shot or two. No aiming required. :)
Mark Levin Video Banshee-on-Bridge-Boost Tutorial 26 January 2002
Mark keeps filming 'em - 2.1 MB and 20 seconds is all it takes to show you the easiest way to a Banshee on the natural bridge on the Assault on the Control Room level. (As an added bonus, Mark shows what NOT to do after you get the Banshee.)
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!
Doum and Pat The First Assault Bridge 2 February 2002
Doum and Pat have put together a series of films showing how to get off the first bridge in 'Assault on the Control Room', in coop mode... and make it down alive.
Nemesis_007 Sidewinder Sneak 12 February 2002
A neat little exploit, showing how to use a Halo physics glitch to your advantage on Sidewinder. No more long hauls...
Metafire AotCR Bridge Climb in Single Player 26 February 2002
Climbing down that first bridge has been a couple of times... in coop. Before now, it's NEVER been done in single player mode. (In fact, many said it WASN'T POSSIBLE. They weren't counting on pinpoint placement of furniture with plasma grenades...)
Legolas/Bonk Stealing Rockets on Sidewinder 28 February 2002
Get extra ammo (and weapons) in a hurry on Sidewinder, using this pretty nifty trick!
Amechwarrior/Metafire Telefragging 18 March 2002
Ever gotten the message 'You were telefragged' in multiplay? Here's why.
brad Unlimited Ammo 26 March 2002
brad found an interesting little glitch which easily provides you unlimited ammo on the weapon of your choice... with a few restrictions.
NFL246 Sniping and Hiding on Battle Creek 4 April 2002
More of a tip than a trick... but you can see some good sniping areas on Battle Creek, and some of them require some tricky access.
Geeoff Sidewinder Cheat 4 April 2002
A trick that's been mentioned before... but it's never been filmed, and it's pretty cool!
xbill EliteSpeak 12 April 2002
An amazing little bit of detective work... now we know who those Elites REALLY are.
Reckless Angel/Metafire Three Weapons in PoA 19 April 2002
An amazing glitch - in this particular circumstance, it is possible (nay, simple, if you know what you're doing) to get three weapons simultaneously on Pillar of Autumn. Full instructions inside.
Kuaidang Getting down From the First Bridge (redux) 19 April 2002
Doum and Pat showed how to get down from the first bridge back in February - but we've had trouble keeping their movies viewable. Kuaidang has made a much more concise one (though he does die a few times trying to make that last jump), showing a different descent - hit it right, and you're enemy-free for the rest of the level. .wmv format, zipped, 3 mb.
Kuaidang Bridge Jumping on AotCR 19 April 2002
If you descend from the first Bridge, you run the risk of hitting a locked door in the next bridge section - Kuaidang shows you a quick and easy way around the problem. .wmv format, zipped, 2.1 mb.
xbill Two Betrayals Wraith Driver Sniping 25 April 2002
Take out that Elite Wraith driver... BEFORE he gets in and starts shooting!
Nemesis_007 Temporary Invincibility 27 April 2002
A glitch with some SERIOUS multiplayer potential - how to rocketjump (or grenadejump) but take ZERO damage.
Team Overkill Double Jumping 27 April 2002
Filmed on Hang 'em High... but relevant EVERYWHERE. Need an extra little 'oomph' when you're trying to jump? Here you go.
Peters/Tango6 Hidden Room in Chiron 11 May 2002
An exploit of a recent trick can put you in a nice little hidey-hole, perfectly set up for some easy rocket kills.
Cabal 3/4/02 11 May 2002
We've seen 3 weapons on Pillar of Autumn... NO weapons on Pillar of Autumn... now we've got 3 weapons for 2 players on Pillar of Autumn. Maximum exploitation...
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!
