Behind Metropolis

gosucc · Post by **gosucc** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 9:18 pm

Hello,

I am new to this forum would like to tell everyone about this discovery I found on my own. I haven't seen it before but sorry if it is already posted.

To get ontop of the building behind metropolis start up a co-op game on any difficulty. As soon as the level starts get player 1 on the tank. From the position the tank starts drive to the right and enter the little area. You should knock down a yellow/black striped pole. After this turn left and head towards the wall. When you hit the wall turn to your left and you should see another wall with 4 blue windows and a small door. Have the player 2 walk there, then stand and face the windows and then look down at his feet. Then the player 1 drives slowly towards the player 2. If it is done correctly it should fling player 2 backwards in the air and land on the building behind you.

Edit: Heres a tip to make it easier. Try to keep the player that is getting rammed focused in the middle of the tank. Start out by driving slowly at the player and if you cannot drive them anyfurther then slam down the joystick and go full speed at them.

I don't know about this one... When I play co-op on Metropolis with a friend, I always steal the Banshee (board an enemy vehicle). Once I've got it I flew everywhere possible and there were "clipping planes" or invisible walls preventing you from going "Behind Metropolis." You can look back there from an aerial view. Are you saying you can get past the invisible walls by doing this? BTW when you try to fly the Banshee into the tunnel, you can't there's an ivisible wall that won't allow the Banshee to fly past. However, I had my friend get in the tank and I parked the Banshee right on top of it. He then drove the tank very carefully into the tunnel. We were trying to get it to the other side of the tunnel and try it there, but... :Note: if you enter the Banshee once you're past this invisible wall I'm talking about you instantly die and the Banshee is sucked backwards towards the bridge. It's cool though, we successfully moved the Banshee all the way to that door at the end where you sneak up on a Jackal sniper. We accidentally destroyed the Banshee right there, so this might work. Getting it down the freakin tunnel though in one piece takes skills and time. Maybe I'll attempt it again next time in campaign.

yes i have gotten behind metropolis along time ago by myself. since i dont have anyone to play coop with, i couldnt do that tank thing. what i did was put sputnik on, then got a ghost, and after a VERY HUGE amount of tries, i succesfully launched myself onto the wall with nades and drove up the sloped wall onto the top. when i say huge amount of tries im talkin a couple hours. if i had someone to play with, it would have been so much easier...

WTF is sputnik?! AN AIMBOT!?!

Sputnik is a skull, and theres another way to do this, and its much more fun, do the sword-with-warthog-jump thing.

Never heard of that trick....Tell us all lol.

Get in the passenger seat of the warthog with sword, when a phantom or banshee flies overhead, lock on to the turret/banshee, your reticle should turn red, hit the trigger to do a lunge attack. You dont do it but you should hear the sound, this means your "loaded" point your aim to where you want to go, and get out of the seat, you should go flying like a mad man. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

much fun to do on co-op!

I thought everybody already knew that trick... Another fun thing is walking on top of the bowls in Metropolis

i find it funner getting onto all the roof tops on outskirts then trying to jump onto a enemy or friendly drop ship passing by for a ride across the entire map

but thats jus me lol... about that banshee thing thats how ur supposed to get the scarab gun u gotta get the banshee through that entire tunnel once ur past that no fly zone kinda area that kills u u get in it and fly some where i dunno my friend told me thats how u do it i forgot where u fly to tho... i tried for a few hours trying to get the banshee through no luck i got it as fare as i cud by making it literally follow me in (kept the pilot in there shot at it and retreated into the tunnel) but i got it as fare as i cud no luck i got to a point where u get to the small section of the tunnel it wudnt fit... lol

TheGovernator's idea is pretty creative. Park the banshee on the tank/Warthog!

does anyone know that if you can lure a banshee to the end of the tunnel and get in in furing the load point then you can fly around in it and not blow up...

sheesh... i suspedt no one knows how to get the scarab gun either

dont worry i do

anyway, jks that banshee sword thing would be harder than just blowing the ghost up there...and conquer2090 what you need to do is blow both wings off the bansheee with a shotgun or sumthin, then lure it into the tunnel and let it push you through the loading point. right when it says "loading...done" board it and your good to go. although you could have gone to the thread specifically for finding the scarab gun

The banshee sword thing is extremely fun... there was a video made a while ago teaching the ins and outs of this trick, search for it and watch the vid, its really cool.

AuTolVlaTiC · Post by **AuTolVlaTiC** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 7:04 pm

yes ive seen many vids of it at highimpacthalo, and it definitely looks like a thrill

jks · Post by **jks** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 10:57 pm

Its crazy cuz the dude was hitting the CEILING of metropolis which is like 2 miles up, when he hit it, he looks down and you can barely see the bridge

lol thats cool....but theres not much to do once your up there.....throw some gernades? write a haiku?

jks · Post by **jks** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 10:16 pm

Well every single time you die cuz he falls back down. But its still so awesome to see, btw I like writing haikus, they are very challenging.
