Glitching Tips

i have a glitch.on ivory tower go to the place
where the oversheild is. there is kinda a square in the area where its
flat. have someone jump up into the right corner. then, there is a bold
line (if you look down you will see it) have someone crouch down and walk
torwards the person in the corner. after about halfway, have the person
walking melee with a rocket launcher and move to the right. you will fall
through the level. its pretty sweet.

okay this trick can get you to the top of the sniper tower in lockout in a
few seconds if done right. okay all you need is a sticky gernade. go to
the top of the sniper tower where the sniper riffle responds. you are now
facing out of the sniper tower and you can see the other base. turn to
your left and you will see a ledge. there is a tall part to the ledge and
a small part to the ledge stand on the taller part. okay just above you
you will see something sticking out of the tower you will need to get on
the half circle piece of it. throw a sticky gernade at the ground when you
are standing on the ledge close to your feet. wait a second then jump then
press and hold crouch. if you don’t make it the first try don’t worry
about it. it took me a few trys as well. okay when you are up there face
the tower and jump the the part in between the thing sticking out and the
tower. now you are in between the long skinny thing sticking out of the
tower and the tower itself. now is the easy part face the long skinny
thing if you look up a little bit you will see a very little ledge type
thing where the two poles are sticking out of. you face that jump on that
little ledge then instantly jump backwards on to the tower behind you. and
now you are on the top. sounds confusing really isn’t though i just
wanted to give you guys perfect directions so you know exacly what i’m
talking about. its really just
1. gernade bounce onto half circle thing above sniper riffle
2. jump inbetween the two poles and tower itself
3. face poles jump on little ledge then jump instantly backward onto the
tower.

i’ve been practicing for about 20 minutes and i can get up the 9 out of 10
times in bout 5 or 6 seconds.

Hey guys i know this cool glitch. Anyways first u need to setup an oddball
gametype and make it so u have plasma pistols in primary and sword in
secondary. And also u need to be connection host. Okay now u have to get
another plasma pistol so u can dual wield. Then u go up to oddball and
just like the weaponless glitch get rid of ur two pistols. You should draw
your sword. To everyones point of view you are now holding your like an
smg. Its really to watch. When you lunge it looks like ur just poking
them. Alright thats about it. Keep up the good work Podtacular!! and go
RecD!
