Tankjumping in Halo 2

Posted by Zonk on from the watch-that-first-step dept.

The original Warthog Jump video from Halo is a hilarious and informative way to learn about game physics. An Anonymous reader wrote in to mention a Spare Time production in which they try to recreate the essence of the experiment. "A tank on top of a shield in Halo2 proves to be quite an experience! We got it on tape. Enjoy!"

      *There have now been 703 downloads of Spare Time: Shield Jump.* and came at some 83kbyte/s.

    The anonymous guy's email address is aidansteele@gmail.com -- could his name be Aidan Steele perhaps? Maybe he rot13-ed twice for added anonymity.

    This is truly groundbreaking stuff. Pixar's got their work cut out for them when they release Cars with stuff floating around like this. And these guys rendered the whole thing on a 700MHz PC!
