Things to do in H2 when you are bored:
(Long!)
My clan mates and I have found some fun things you can do during those moments when you are waiting for the rest of your clan to show up, or when you just want a break from the matchmaking loudmouths.
To be honest, I am not sure if these have shown up in the trick videos as we just came across these ourselves.
These things may be old news, but still fun IMO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First - create a new game setting with the following specs:
"Messy Jugs"
Juggernaut
Damage Resistance: On
Type of Shield: Overshield
Weapons: Rockets
Secondary: P-Sword (in case you want to fly)
Unlimited Ammo: On
Primary Vehicle: (any type of Warthog)
Heavy Vehicle: Scorpion Tank
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Warthog Flipping)
Works best on:
Coagulation, Waterworks, Zanzibar
(This usually only works for the person hosting when it is only you and another person)
If you have more than two people, you will know when it is not working and you may need to make someone else the driver or Juggernaut.(*)
The person hosting should drive the Warthog and the passenger should be the Juggernaut. (Because of the unlimited ammo)
If you have the correct setup, have the passenger fire a rocket down to the side/front and behold the amount of air you and your jeep will take.
On Coagulation, we have been able to jump the base completely when you time the rocket just right when going off the jump on the side of the base.
You can get HUGE air with this technique and as long as the person driving stays in the vehicle, the Warthog will never explode.
You will get thrown from the vehicle every now and then, but once you get the hang of it and find the good jumps, you can do 6-7 rotations, land and keep on driving.
Another trick if you have more people is to have one or two Scorpion Tanks position themselves behind the jump. When you get to the crest of the hill, they should fire just behind the Warthog.
We have been thrown clear across Coagulation a couple of times using this technique.
(*) You will know when it is not working - the armor of the Warthog will fly off and the vehicle will not leave the ground. If it is working, a single shot while in a stationary Warthog will send it flying one direction or the other!
On Zanzibar, we were able to get a Warthog up onto the outcrop where the left Turret is located. You can also get big air when you time it just right, when you jump off the rocks near the palm trees on the beach.
On WaterWorks, you can drive down the hall path under the middle and do a perfect back flip, right as you come out the other side.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the same game type ("Messy Jugs") for this one as well:
(Tank Flipping) - We just found this one last weekend
Works best on:
Zanzibar (only)
Grab the tank and drive it around to the other side of the windmill on Zanzibar. You can have a friend latch onto the side.
(It doesn't matter who is Juggernaut pertaining to ammo for this trick, but you are able to board the vehicle because you are technically on the opposing team)
This one is simple - Drive the tank into the windmill and continue to move forward once you hit the wall.
As the arm of the windmill comes around it will begin to push you and your friend up to the left. Once the front of the tank clears the wall, keep pushing forward.
Move forward enough so that a good 1/3 of the front of the Scorpion Tank is under the ceiling - you will know when it worked because you will be thrown all over the map!
We have been thrown back to where the tank was originally, up into the base and onto the base itself.
When we do it again, I will have to tape it and post a screen shot of us on top of the base with the tank or of the tank behind a closed gate inside the base.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can tell - we were very bored but ended up laughing and trying new things.
Let me know if this is widespread news in the H2 world, but even if we did not come up with these things ourselves, they are still fun to try just once.
