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!"

    I was playing a game in Zanzibar with warthogs when I noticed the explosive crates... When I drove into them, I did at LEAST 8 flips in the air (barrel rolls) It would be interesting to see what would happen if you rounded all of them up and drove into them... or better yet, attack them with an energy blade... interesting...

    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!
