This is a trailer for an upcoming video about one of the greatest tricks/glitches ever accomplished in Halo: Combat Evolved (PC), the Ghost Froom. This trick is one of the most elaborate and complex tricks I have ever performed. It took several months to create it.
The trick involves a six step process which can take as long as five hours to perform (it’s that difficult). The ultimate result of the trick is a Ghost floating in an invisible barrier 150 meters above the map. If you have any questions about the trick please ask. I’ll do my best to respond without spoiling too much before the final video.
Please watch and enjoy the trailer, even if you are unfamiliar with Halo: Combat Evolved. I worked very hard on it. Feedback is appreciated.
Note: Asides from the use of flycam for detached-camera footage no third party programs, mods, trainers, or hacks were used in the creation of this trick.
P.S. This is a trailer. You’re not supposed to understand the trick. Just enjoy the video and wait for the explanation until the final video, which will be released sometime in the next three months.
If I told you or made it obvious in the trailer, there wouldn’t be anything to feel anticipated for, would there? That’s the thing, it’s particularly tricky to show someone enough stuff to get them interested without giving away too much - making it so you can’t provide anything else new in the actual final video. This is something of a teaser trailer. The glitch is shown in the trailer multiple times, but it’s not explained and the process isn’t really shown. That’s because this is a trailer. You can expect answers to all your questions in the final video.
> That was awesome editing, but I gave your video a thumbs down because it’s extremely lame to post a trailer about a glitch you discovered. IMO.
It’s a trailer for a video about the glitch discovered by me with help from the entire halo 1 tricking community. Just because I didn’t explain the glitch doesn’t make me deserve a thumbs down. I’m going to explain it in the final video. Can’t you just see the trailer, see the awesome editing, grasp to some extent what you’re seeing, (oh hay he’s 150 meters above the map and he’s about to land a Ghost that’s floating in the sky… holy -Yoink-), and then look forward to the final video? I don’t see how it’s such a stretch for everyone.
But anywho, you’re entitled to your opinions, however ridiculous they may seem to me.
Dude how do you even consider people not giving it a thumbs down. You released a “teaser” trailer for a glitch… I’m not saying it might be an awesome glitch but it’s a teaser… for a glitch… in a 10 year old game…
Thanks. You’ll find it even more amazing when it is all explained in the final video.
> How do you find stuff like this? (And sorry if I didnt seem that interested in my post but, I do think its really amazing!)
Over the years Halo CE trickers have gained a deep understanding of the game and how it works. They started with simple tricks and glitches, and from them managed to derive some basic theories about how the game works. Over the years new trickers built upon these theories, and discovered new ones. At some point, creativity combined with this understanding allows a tricker to discover something new. It’s like a formula, you combine the right ideas about how the game works applied in the right area and you come out with a new trick. I’ll address exactly what theories and understandings of the game were needed to create the Ghost Froom in my final video.

Hmmm… I didn’t realize just because a game is “old” it’s not interesting anymore. Are you trying to tell me that Halo: Combat Evolved is an old game that’s boring and doesn’t have anything new to offer? Well, I guess you won’t enjoy H:CEA then, will you?
I can consider people not giving it a thumbs down because I understand how amazing this glitch is, and because I hope they too will grasp, to some extent, how new and amazing it is. Did you hear about T2T? It was posted in the news on Halo Waypoint. T2T is a difficulty level 11 stunt (on a 1-10 scale). The Ghost Froom is a difficulty level 10 stunt.
Also, I would hope that people would see the awesome editing, know that I put a lot of work into the video, and be somewhat anticipated, understanding that I have 5 years of tricking background, and was an active HIH tricker before it closed. Given these facts, I would hope people would give it a thumbs up for keeping tricking going in Halo: Combat Evolved.

I guess I see what you’re saying, but I can’t really get excited about a trailer (despite the “amazing” editing) when I have no idea what the video will be about…
Most movies have a teaser trailer. However you can usually tell what the movie is about given the contents of the teaser. You give no details about what the glitch is, so how can anyone get excited for it?!
“OH MAN, AWESOME EDITING! I’M SO EXCITED AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT!”

You have a good point, and I recognize it as true. However, I do give some details about what the glitch is:
