Coagulation Taunts Me ...

A friend and I kept trying ... and trying ... yesterday night ... all through the night ... to get ourselves to the top of Coagulation. Yes, I'm talking abuot Halo 2, and, no, not whatever-else-you-thought-it-meant. Anyways, the friend and I kept sword-jumping across ... but hit the barrier. After we tried that a few times and it proved to be futile, we naturally figured, "Alright, how about we get AROUND the invisibile barrier?"

So, we set same team, but, unfortunately, I didn't remember how to turn friendly-fire off, so, not that we actually did it, but the plan was to get a tank and drive up the 100 degree mountain in the canyon, and, once up there, get the guy in the other tank to push me up until my treads were overlapping the barrier, get out of my tank, stand on top of it, and have my friend get out of his tank and get a Banshee. Then, he was supposed to come over, slam me with the craft, as I'd be pushed through the barrier. And it should've worked. If I only knew how to turn friendly-fire off.

Well, I guess if nobody can help us with the friendly-fire bit, we'll have to resort to the ther two plans I have: the first involves turning light vehicle to Spectre and heavy vehicle to random, and then taking the Spectre up the corner to the back-left of blue base. Push the Spectre 'til it's vertical, and then have the other guy fly over to the rock formation beside blue base in a Banshee, and then knock the Banshee off so there'll be room for the next bit. Now, have the guy in the Spectre rush over to the rock-guy and he'll go flying upwards, at an angle, and, voila: bypassed ... wait ... that requires friendly-fire off, too ...

Hey, maybe my second plan: I set light vehicle to Map Default and Heavy Vehicle to Scorpian Tank and then we'll be on opposite teams [or same] and he'll take the tank and drive it up too-steep-of-a-hill and it'll flip over. I position myself on top of his over-turned one and he presses "X" to flip his over, sending me flipping high into the air. Will it help me pass the barrier? Hell if I know.
