2. Bailing Out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtY9DQ9F1kA This is one that I'm hugely fond of in Halo Reach, and it's an easy one to do because everyone loves riding in the Warthog, right? Just load the vehicle up with as many willing players as possible, ride around for a bit, giving them some good vantage points to shoot the enemies, such that you lull them into a false sense of security. Only then do you drive over to the nearest cliff at full speed - assuming the level has one - and then hold X a few feet before you reach the edge, bailing you out just as the Warthog hurtles over the cliff, and your team-mates are helpless against the effects of gravity. Pro-tip: equip the jet-pack power-up so that if you mistime the jump, you can still propel yourself back onto safe ground, and pray that your similarly beleaguered team-mates don't have the same idea. This one still hasn't got old for me, and I'm looking forward to milking it in the upcoming Halo 4.
