10 Video Game Sections You Didn't Know You Could Skip
6. The First Half Of Outskirts - Halo 2
Halo 2's "Outskirts" is, to be blunt, quite the pain in the ass. You have to contend with a host of Jackal Snipers who can make short work of all but the most diligent players, though mercifully there is a secret workaround which allows you to skip basically the entire first half of the mission.
Referred to by fans as the "Rooftops Vacation," this exploit lets you leap from a piece of rubble onto a ledge in an early alcove part of the level, letting you reach the otherwsie inaccessible rooftops and speedily make your way to the Hotel Zanzibar.
This lets you skip over a sniper-filled alley and a series of courtyard battles filled with tough enemies, basically saving you about 10 minutes of hard graft.
This is of course especially useful for players attempting to complete a Legendary run, who frankly need all the help they can possibly get.
