my favorite would have to be blocking the entrances/exits with vehicles on blood gulch CTF, or jumping through the windows at red base in Battle Creek CTF...the latter can grab your three flag captures nearly undetected in about 2 or 3 minutes.

I have this trick in sidewinder when i play with teams. I put the tank next a wall and i get inside a ghost. My team mate sticks a plasma grenade on the back of my ghost and i drive towards the tank. Then the plasma grenade explodes and im in the air. It is like the ultimater base all grenades are duds and most bullets miss and the enemy cant find you

There is another way that you can do that without haveing the risk of dying. You but the tank on one of the top areas (where theres an opening in the natural wall) and put the tanks back against the inside. it wont go all the way in. then you take a ghost and run straight at the tank. youll pop up on top and still have a ghost with you fro speedie transportation. this takes lots of practice and even more patience.

On Blood Gultch you can snag the sniper rifle from the ground. Jump at the little sheild that sits infront of the sniper rifle and hold X. Muahaha

Sidewinder has an even dirtier trick, when playing capture the flag place a ghost next to the bars that lead into the tunels, the bars that seem to be a dead end, then run around for 20minutes to the enemies base grab the flag and run to the tunnels. Go to the opposite side of the bars. press X, this will teleport you through the bars and next to your base any one giving chase will be left wondering how you went through the bars. If you did not want to be this cheap then have a buddy stand on the other side and just toss the flag to him.

I dunno if this counts as a dirty trick, but when I'm on the blue team in Blood Gulch I hide in the shadow casted by the big Canyon. Doesn't work very well with red team though.

I am dissapointed, Bungie, Radar.......who uses radar? that ruins a perfectly good game of multiplayer, ....lol...radar can be fun but we mostly play no-radar makes for a more interesting game, more intense.

Battle Creek. Crouch down in the invisibility respawn and wait for it. Snag it and stay there, waiting for the proverbial sacrificial lamb and then come out of hiding and melee attack him. People hate that. Longest. Grab one of the power ups and drop a plasma grenade through that little slit to blast the other one off for one of your buddies. Or just back down and then jump across to the other side right below and grab it yourself. Power ups. I've done this before with both the overshield and the invisibility. You and a team mate have to time it carefully, but if you both hit the power up at the same time, you both get it.

None of these that i have read are dirty halo tricks whatsoever. I have read every single one of these "dirty halo tricks" and none of them are new to me. These are all taking advantage of your surrounding environment. All of these "dirty halo tricks" are things i hve learned by myself and experience from playing against my friends. I am dissappointed in the lack of respect for people who are actualy good at the game halo. People who call these "dirty halo tricks" are the people who suck at playing halo.

So then tell us iustitia..........what are dirty Halo tricks, all masterful halo player?????

Damnation Escape Plan When escaping the blue base with the flag run for the teleporter If your being persued as soon as you reach the other side take a step back to the left so as to not block them from coming thru. When they get it looks like to disappeared and then you can just melee them down in a straight line. Its also a good place to hide with the skulls. Hang em High red base = Duck Hunt When playing on the blue team on a CTF/Assault Mode stay in the dragons teeth. Keep grabbing the cloak and the sniper rifle and keep your sights aim'd at the top of the flag poll. Soon as they respawn drop em like a bad habit. If you get enough snipers you can all reenact the D-Day scene in Saving Private Ryan....

What??? Don't you think chucking grenades at someones feet is cheap? In other words, how hard would it be to kill a deer if you have 2 oozies and you backed it into a corner? It's just stupid. Real skill kills, are A.Sniping B. Assaults C.SOME vehicle kills [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] iustitia None of these that i have read are dirty halo tricks whatsoever.

I AGREE COMPLETELY!!!!!!!!!!!! but a lot of people do use radar so it still counts to trick people with it.

Well I must agree with some on the topic that if these are dirty Halo Tricks then my team has got to be the dirtiest Damn halo players in the world. All of these things are a regular occurance in team play, although to the average halo player, we do play dirty but hey you gotta do what you can do to win right? I get people yelling at me to put down the rocket launcher, it's like "well it's there, but for some reason it's not "ethical" or "fair" to use it?" give me a break halo is played to be won we don't need people that are bad at halo to tell us whats dirty and cheap. Just get better at the game and then you will understand. but I will say the thing that pisses me off the most are people who drive around in ghosts doing nothing but running people over or grabbing the flag and driving in reverse all the way back to their base. Becuause this only shows us all that you are either A, a -blam!- or B just real bad at halo Also the real cool trick of, when your blue in sidewinder, is the stuffing both tanks, although I just park a ghost on thier warp, kill them a bunch of times and then drive the warthog under the tank and grab the flag and go.

You don't call pressing x on a ghost that is on an the other side of an impassible set of bars dirty???? I use it....but it is pretty cheap

Two genuinely dirty tricks: 1) In sidewinder, parking and leaving a warthog with its corner on a two-way warp. If placed properly, when anyone goes through the teleporter, they will get through only to die instantly by the warthog, or get displaced and fall through the floor into the abyss below. Even worse, it can be left there for the duration of the game. 2) Damnation, oddball. Using the overshield trick where you catch it in midair on your way to the bottom of the level. Hanging out down there in the fog with the oddball in hand, inaccessable to foes.

If a Scorpion is ever flipped over, I can stand on top of the bottom and press E, which sends me flying high into the air. I can then see where everyone is. And about these being called Dirty Tricks, I've noticed a trend in FPSes. First, no one complains about anything but camping. Then, they complain about bug exploits (the one hit shin kill) as well. Then, they start complaining about people taking advantage of the environment (tank camp, shooting down power-ups, etc.) Pretty soon, it becomes like AVP2, where if I play as a Predator and use my plasma caster (the main weapon), at least two morons start screaming: Plasma Pansy!! immediately. I mean, come on, what am I supposed to do? Own them with my claws? ;) At any rate, Halo's already into the third stage.

Dont you guys know the real dirty tricks?? i am suprised these arent on FRANKIES article, arent you frankie?i thought you guys knew these, well, here, i hope you read through and use it, to post somewhere and make me feel special. FRANKIE D. LISTEN UP, you said you might post our dirty tricks, well i think mine qualify, please quote my descriptions if you choose to use them, it makes me feels like a cool high rollin bungie-cord man.if you dont quote them i wont really really mind, but you would be letting me down :(....maybe you already knew about these but didnt post them in you dirty trick article because they were TOO dirty and would be like 10 pieces of poo instead of the highest rating(5). If you are planning on doing these tricks, i advise you play halo while doing them so you dont get too confused. it will help, i think.i also advise you to use 400% health your first times so you wont have to wait on extra shial and or die from explotions.HAVE FUN. 1:at red base get on ghost drive side ways to the wall, get off a few feet before colliding with wall and ZOOOM you are on top of the level.once on top you can get on top of the highest cliff ledge in the level, if you go the opposite way of the highest cliff you can go all the way back in an invisible tunnel behind that shadowy rocky area behind the red base and get really far away from level. 2:at blue base go to the noocky thing sticking out of cliff take ghost up, make some good manuvers and you get to that ledge thing with a pillar thing sticking up. If you dont wanna stay on that ledge move up the invisible wall by driving the ghost backwards up it, if you go up the invisible wall in the right spot you can go right--> over to the pretty high ledge near the red base. those # 1 and 2 tricks are the best sniping spots, i think. they are also fun while just playing around, and if you wanna get down without losing health from either the highest ledge or the other one that you get to from the blue base, you must creep to the edge and look for a line of dirt patch, and creep off the edge and slide to the patch, you will hopefully you will see what i mean. #3: at damnation, you want a rocket in your pocket, and an over shiald, i think health needs to be on 150%, not sure. the you got to the green base(thats what i call it) it is really the blue teams base. OK, say you are standing where the flag spawns, near the health spawn, at the top of the ramp; walk over to the doorway where you can see the bridge, ledge, walkway thing that is where the red teleporter teleports to.turn left out of that door way, there is a shiny tube above a little room i call the sexy room. you must back up to the wall that was to the right of that door way then run towards the tube as you are running across the tubes (towards a wall) you must jump and shoot a rocket right after you jump. this should propell you up to the top of the wall you were running towards( when you get to the top of the wall sometimes you need to croouch in order to get on top of it)(crouching at the top of a jump pulls you legs up, dont pull your legs up too early, it slows your upward movement), you are now in a secret area. You think this area is COOL, wait till you see whats next.............. you will see another shiny tube to your left when you get on top of the wall use the JUMP CROUCH technique to get over it, then run staight and a little left and there is a low part of the wall, use a frag to get up on top of that(it is where the wall slopes down). then follow thje slope up and open your eyes wide to the wonderful level of damnation, you are now ON TOP of damn nation, watch your step, and EXPLORE. THERE ARE other ways to get up, trust me, especially with 400% health. by the way, you can follow the tubes that stretch across the "never ending pit that ends", i call the Death Pit, and you will see the cubbies that the waterfalls flow out of, with a plasma grenade thrown on the tube and a well timed and aimed jump you can get in the cubby, IT IS AWESOME. IT IS very funny firing at them and throwing grenades down, they dont know where it is coming from. when they find out, it is even funnier. i also like trying to jump from high up and punch people in back. CAUTION: the high altitudes can result in death or injury, BE CAREFUL. now you can lay the smack down on those filthy opposite team master chiefs. i am getting sick of typing, you, probably reading, unless you are having fun following along learning these tricks while playing. somethings are probably unclear in this post, most likely the BG #1 & 2, just try to understand and follow along. i didnt fell like spending "too much time" on this. (right now that i am done there are only 4905 characters left, out of 1000, alot of typing for this shint) oh yeah, before i forget, i said "i have hair around my nipples, i call it hairy nipples" I am surprised these werent on the article Frankie D. posted on the website, i mean, those are the dirtiest, rottenest, smelliest, nastiest, and SEXIEST tricks of all!!!!

i was pretty un clear in the BG ones, forgive me, the wall at the red base is a wall of the cliff near the big gray rock in front of the base. the one a t the blue base is to the right is you are looking out the front of the base, you should see what you are trrying to get to from the little ledge you can walk up from the ground( this ledge is where you start going up with the ghost at the top of that ledge turn rioght very faslt continue up un thill there is a wall you can side hover across to the first destination, the little cubby section.

still unclear? sorry, no more typing about this, sorry. except, if you have kazaa(if you dont, down load it in a few minutes) search for halo videos and get the ones about BG, i think mine should be there. there is also an interesting video about the secret banshee on assault on the control room.

One of my favorite things to do is in CTF on Blood Gulch. You get your whole team to attack the enemy's base, everyone with a vehicle and then in the chaos you grab the flag, but immediately throw it right outside one of the doors. Then you sit in a dark corner inside their base. Then they have repelled your attack and find the flag they sigh in relief and start planning their counter attack, not knowing that you are sitting INSIDE their base! When quite a few of their team members have left to attack your base, you grab the flag and grab a vehicles, or possible sneaking through a cave, whatever method you use to get the flag back. I've won multiple CTF games this way.

Yeah, all these "tricks" are great, but most are pretty harmless, and are more about your skill level. The hidding behind the teleporter in Damnation, or in the bunkers on Longest are some fairly dirty points of advice, but are they tricks, no. A good trick if you're playing Oddball with nav points off and ball on radar off is some good hiding places. In BG there are a few "hidden" places that are great for hidding in and making lots of time. There is the obvious hill behind redbase, and the caves. But there is a spot behind the blue base that is far better to hide in. Along the wall between the base and the caves there is a "hidden" hole, go there, and face the wall or the ground. Screen watchers will think you're in the caves or above redbase, you will get minutes galore. In Chiron, in the bases, if you duck down and hide between the catwalk and the ramp, and if you are dark, no one will see you. In BattleCreek if you go up one oft he latters, go to the end of it, and then jump up towards the outer face of the cliff, you can climb around and have a better snipping spot or place to hide. There is also the roofs that are great for hidding for a few minutes and great for killing, especially with infinate gernades and radar. When your in SW CTF, get both warthogs and put them in the base, and get them to flip over, if you possition them right it's very hard to get to the flag. In BG, put the warthogs in the main exits of the base, near imposible to get out or in. but to get in, if the warthog is facing the inside of the base, gett in the touret, turn around so you face the outside, and get out, you'll be in the base. Also for oddball, in RR, hide next to one of the teleporters in the dark and face the wall so your screen is black. Or for slayer, hide by the holes in the caves and when someone comes by below, shoot them or through a gernade. I know more hints for improving your game, but I won't tell all of them ;-) --The God

I never thought of that one...did it really work. I like the warthog through the front door of red base and take of. It works some times, but that depends on the people. Your approach sounds like it would works. I am going to try it. I don't know if this is really old, because every halo fan has woren out the trick and all that junk....but in ctf the flag throw to the person on top. u jump up to the edge facing the teleporter and hit trigger. then your partner standing there catches it and goes through the teleporter.

Take a warthog or tank and put it over the teleporters. At the base, chase them up the ramp and they should try to go into the teleporter to escape you so you whack em since u blocked it. Another one is for CTF put a tank with the barrel opposite to the base up to the base (back it up) at the other persons base and use a ghost and ram into it straight. You should fly and go into the hole. Easy stuff.
