Why Can't I Make This Jump?

Here is a 15 second video showing a jump from 1 pillar to another to get the Mythic Skull on Mission 8 - YouTube
It makes it look effortless to jump from the first pillar you climb over to the second without thrusting or anything. I can’t even make it half way. Is there something wrong with my controller or am I missing something? I also have a hard time sprinting. It doesn’t matter if I use the default layout or bumper jumper. Most of the time when I try to sprint it doesn’t. This happens on 2 different controllers. The Master Chief controller and the regular one.

You can get on top of there another way as well. When I did it I climbed thay knocked over pillar that you can see on the left and jumped over from there.

Sounds weird as hell.

Sprint jump thrust hover thrust clamber

edit: posted b4 watching vid. His way is easier. Sprint jump thrust ground pound.

like someone else said, you can just climb up there but I struggled more with the climbing than the jump lol

I’m not talking about jumping from the second pillar to the flat area where the skull is. I’m talking about after you climb the first pillar- the jump over to the second pillar is the 1 I can’t do.Like I said, in the video the guy just plain jumped over there, no sprint, thrust,hover or anything. You do that to get from the second pillar to the platform. Can anybody else just plain jump that far?

its really easy to do if you climb up to the pillar across from the skull sprint, jump then jet boost across, when your almost there power slam to the edge of the cliff sounds difficult buts its not

Must be a youngster thing? I have tried both paths for hours… and can’t seem to jump that far either… not even close? While in the air… there isn’t enough time to push all them buttons. And, I have yet to be able to even get “Ground Pound” to work at all? What is “hover”… I did not see that listed on the controller buttons?

Aim down scope, and you’ll thruster to maintain altitude, with some slight drop, for about 3ish seconds. Unless you’ve got it turned off like me then I think it’s click down on right stick while aiming.

Thanks. Of course I’ll try…

Look up some movement tutorials on YouTube… there are a lot of little “extra” ways that you can get around in the environment in this game.

Look into Thrust jumps, boost slides, Stabilize jumps, and Ground Pound hovers… all can be used to hit jumps that you normally cannot if you’re moving around at default speed. Most need to be combined with Clamber as well…

As for being difficult, most are not… it’s just building “muscle memory” is all. The hardest for me are Stabilize jumps but that’s because I play Recon layout with Auto-Stabilize set to OFF… so I have to jump, click RS, and tap X to hover and then Ghandi hop for that extra height with LS all in a short span of time, but it’s quick to learn and super rewarding to hit jumps. There’s a certain “rhythm” to it… or timing… that you have to dial in.

I will be sure to give all these a try… thanks to all for helping an Ole man get his jump on!
