In multiplayer a variation of the Sword Flying technique exists, but it requires split-second timing and performing it consistently is difficult.

With the sword as your reserve weapon, take another weapon and find a target; a scoped weapon with a reticle that turns red when locked on a target in range, such as the rocket launcher, is preferable.

Then, switch to the sword and pull the trigger. If the switch and pull are timed correctly, you'll perform a lunge attack regardless of the distance between you and the target.

SOmeone jumps on your head and keeps jumpiung while trying to saty on and you klick b x b x... as long as you want (or can) and you can pretty much keep going up forever. this can get you up many places like top of lockout or outside foundation through the fans in room 1. than you can get your freids up using sword flying.*excuse mi grammar

you can also have one guy sit in the passenger of the warthog have the other guy standing outside the wart on the passenger side by the bumber. Now the guy in the vehicle look down and hit your trigger then STAY in the vehicle and aim WHERE you want to go. Then the person outside of the vehicle gets in the ghost and goes to the side of the map (tells them of far and how high he will fly). Once the other guy in on the other side of the level, the person in the warthog now just gets out of the warthog....and there you have it.
BEST ON OPEN RANGED LEVELS!

make sure when you're in the vehicle and you trigger that your redicle is red at them and that they are standing in the front.

pull off the sword flying with the rocket launcher. be close and don't use it repeatedly cos people will dodge it later. lock on an lunge. if you miss lunge in mid air. hold x when near banshee to do no damage and grab on. when you kick pilot out. ram him into the ground. no one will see this coming until you're right next to them and they scream. i tried. it was so funny.

I can never seem to get it right, we get no higher than like 10 feet.

ok look switching from the rocket to the sword and pressing lunge does indeed work, but it is the hardest way to do the huge lunge. there are many button variations that will make it work much better. i prefer x,y,R..in that order as fast as possible (u must have the rocket launcher equipped first and the tartgeting reticle must be red). as a side note, unless the person your targeting has an over sheild..unless u want them dead it would be wise to empty ur rocket launcher before performing this jump. on many occasions a rocket will be launched and the person will be very pissed if they are in a high glitch and u kill them in your attempt to get there.

look, i kinda found out the timing to it. I pull it off about 90 % of the time now. When u got the reticle red, press Y then R twice. The timing between the two R's is about .07 seconds. It's not pressed uber fast, there's a slight pause in it. When mastered, it works wonders.

On pretty much any level, you can get in the passenger seat of a vehicle, have a tammate or enemy come up in the banshee, and then, with the sword with the reticle red, press R 3 times - hold it one the third one....then have them fly way far away as you hold R, then when they get away, simply press and hold X while holding R. To do it with a teammeate, and "ladder" up a level, have them stand where you want to get to, the get out the launcher or sniper with the reticle red, then pressy to switch to the sword...almost immediately after press and hold R and X together. Works everytime.

We have gotten to some nice sniper locations on lockout, and to the very top of the tallest building that one level that I hate....you know, the one that is popular for major clan matches.......on lockout....you can go all the way to the top of the tower that has the blue portal/people mover at the bottom of it.

all you have to do is take your left thumb, put it on x, put your right thumb on y and your right pointer on R. i can get first try every time. ive been able to do it up to a banshee and board it over water , with 2 different lunges in the same attempt.

You can do the sword glitch with any weapon that turns red when you point it at the target such as a needler or rocket
