Halo 4 Spring-Jump Spots and Locations!

Hey everybody, Silent here!
After having tried spring jumpin for hours, and finally getting it down pat, I’ve decided to create a thread over here regarding useful spring jumps.

For those wondering: What is a Spring jump?

Well, a spring jump is a jumping technique in Halo 4 and reach that allows you to jump a great deal higher than a regular jump, or a crouch jump.

How is it performed?

Step one: Find a ledge/area that you can’t jump on top of by regular jumping/crouch jumping (IE, the walls over looking the center on haven [hallways])

Step 2: Jump into the air, and crouch midflight.

Step 3: Continue to hold crouch as you hit the ground. Do NOT let go yet.

Step 4: Release crouch and jump at the EXACT same time. (Do be warned, this is quite difficult, as one tends to let go of crouch first or jump first in these situations.)

If done correctly, you should see yourself jump much higher than normal (very noticable higher.) And if you are standing by the low point in the hallway wall on Haven, you should be able to make it up.

How is this useful?

Spots on a lot of the maps (such as the spot I gave on Haven) are designed around this feature (I am now assuming it is a feature, given the amount of spots I have found regarding this technique.) for quick movement.

I’ve used it very successfully on a rock on complex (scoring myself a very ninja kill) and on many, many spots on Haven (earning a lot of kills that I would not have normally gotten.

Notes: In the next post I will give a list of all the places I’ve found on various maps (which isn’t many, as I’ve only just got the game.)

In the replies, give your opinion on this jumping method, whether or not you find it useful, and give more spots that you’ve found using this tactic.

Keep on jumping!

Spots (by map):

Haven:
In the hallways branching off on either side, there are dips in the wall blocking your view to the center. Spring jump up and onto the walls for a very good angle into the center, and to the opposing ramp and hallway.

Usefullness: Great for SWAT and sniper gametypes.

Complex:

When you are by the center building (the one with the large, highly camped roof) if you look over the side you should see a rock by the walkway (near the road under the building with the windows).

Spring jump on top of that, turn around, and spring jump onto the walkway piece and railing. Jump normaly to get over the side.

Usefullness: A nice way to get up on people camping the walkway or the building, hard to do, but rewarding.

Abandon: When on the walkway looking up to center mid (either side) you should see a railing.

Spring jump off of the railing. You have enough hieght to make it up to center mid.

Usefulness: Incredibly useful for any gametype. A very good way to get rid of campers on centre mid, as they never expect you to come in fromt he sides. Very simple jump in terms of difficulty.

Notes: There are more out there that I found, but didn’t deem all that useful (there were other ways to do them without springing.)

Give any suggestions and spots below!

Awesome, I really wanna see spring jumping be a lot more useful than in Reach.

With the few that I have done, it’s much more useful than it was in reach.

If you’re ever running in SWAT, those hallway spots are killer for shooting top mid and ramp spawns.

Shameful bump since this hasn’t gotten a reply in 3 hours…
