*****************
II. The Glitches
*****************

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Cancel (The most basic of Glitches)
Map: Any
Weapons: Any
Instructions: Right after Meleeing, tap "X". The attack should happen, but no damage will be done to anyone it hits.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Sword Fly
Map: Any
Weapons: sword, Rocket Launcher (or Sniper Rifle)
Instructions: Target and enemy with the rocket launcher. Now, switch weapons to the sword and lunge/cancel very quickly. The rocket reticule should carry over to the sword, launching you towards the target. Press "A" to jump and fly upwards while still flying forwards.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Sword/Warthog Fly
Map: Any with warthogs (may be possible in Spectres)
Weapons: Sword
Instructions: Sit in the passenger seat of a warthog. When someone comes close, lock on and lunge. The lunge sound should be present, but you will stay in the warthog. Now, have the person you lunged at run away. Once you exit the warthog, you will fly towards them. As always, press "A" to jump and fly upwards.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Flag Grab
Map: Coagulation, any map with the flag near a wall/ceiling.
Weapons: Any
Instructions: When a wall or a ceiling is between you and the flag, go near that wall/ceiling and hold "X". You will most likely grab the flag.
(Best when flag is in the base on Coagulation; you must put a warthog under you and jump up towards the glass and the flag.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Outside of Collosus
Map:Collosus
Weapons: Any
Instructions: Head the the glass slope on either side or the overshield. Crouch and get in the crevice on the ledge beside the glass. Jumps up and down after letting go of crouch. When the screen starts flashing, slowly move to the side. Do it right, and you'll be suspended outside of the glass, invulnerable to attack.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Super Jumps
Maps: Coagulation, Zanzibar, Collosus, Burial Mounds, Ascension, Lockout, Midship.
Weapons: Any
Instructions: Ill start by telling you the premise. The easiest is in coagulation. Get on the ramp by the Plasma Pistol spawn by either base. Look to the side of the base. there should be a pillar thingy with a nook init. Crouch jump and land in the nook. Let go of crouch. (You will still stay crouched, but the thumbstick is depressed!) Continue to press forward. Look to your right a bit, and tap "A". BE SURE TO HOLD FORWARD, AND NOTHING ELSE, WHILE FALLING! You will hit the ground and be launched into the air. Using the same formula, you can do it in Zanzibar by breaking all the glass in the window neares the battle rifle and gate controls. You must stay left of the broken glass shards and looks a bit to the right after letting go of crouch. There is also a nook on a rock in the bottom walkways of Ascencion, the rocks by the beam rifle in Burial Mounds, and a ledge in Lockout. In Midship, at the front exit of both bases, is a little ledge with just enough space to fit. Try it there!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Slide Jump
Map: Multiple, but I'll explain Ascension.
Weapons: Any
Instructions: Jump onto one of the angled pillars in the middle of the map. Face the small slope to the right of the entrance of a tower. The tower is tower 2, the one that is the largest and has white on it. Jump towards the slope and land on it while tapping "A". You should slide down, and thn be launched off the map. If you land right, you can land on the bottom of the tower, where the screen starts to turn gray, Walk any lower, and you instantly die from "falling".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Name: Flag Bounce
Map: Collosus
Weapons: Flag
Instructions: The flag is a very bouncy object! When thrown down into the middle between the two bases, it will bounce all the way across. Use this to your advantage by bouncing the flag right into your ally's hands.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Invisible Dimension (Added by The Working Stiff)

Map: Ascension

Weapons: Banshee

Instructions: (I have only done this a few times.) Have one person get on a Banshee, and have the other player stand on the edge of the platform that the Banshee forms on. (Towards the edge.) Then, have the person that is flying the Banshee go to the other end of the level and build up as much speed as possible and run into the other player. This sends him flying off the level. Do you think he is dead? If you do this right, the player that just got launched off the level is actually standing on an invisible platform somewhere way below the level's atmosphere. But if you move, you could break the platform causing the player to fall to his death. (In this situation, I was the Banshee pilot and my friend, Old Guy, was the player that got launched to the platform.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: One hit kills location (Added by The Working Stiff)

Map: Any

Weapons: Any, but I recommend not using a plasma sword

Instructions: If you crouch down to an enemy and hit them in the LEFT shin, they will instantly die. This is very strange because it you hit them in the right shin, they will still be alive.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Battle rifle suicide (Added by The Working Stiff)

Map: Any

Weapons: Battle Rifle

Instructions: Equip your Battle Rife and crouch. Then, aim at your left leg/foot area and keep firing. Blood will eventually come out, and if you keep doing it, it can kill you.  Note: It is easier to do when your shields are set to none. You can do this in the game variants option.
