Death by intelligence.
High Jump Off Wraiths
Getting Outside Coagulation
You need to have a Spectre and go to blue base. Next, behind the base and up along the rock wall, keep sliding to your right if you're facing the rock wall, or to your left if you're facing the base. Then you will hit a little ramp on the wall where you can ride up. Once you ride up, slide to your left while facing the wall and as soon as you hit the darker rock, you have to boost until you get onto a ledge where you can stand. Ride the Spectre to the invisible wall and get the nose over the edge just slightly so that when you get out you end up on the other side of the invisible wall.

Use Banshee Against Tartarus
This one is fairly well known by now, but Jim Glover sent it to us first:
When you get the banshee to defend the Scarab, do everything as normal but where he destroys the door, break off the Banshee's wings; from there fly through the door and into the room where there are lots of brutes. Kill them, then fly full speed into the last part of the level. Once the you regain control run back to the banshee. If you flew it far enough, it should be there to use to kill Tartarus.

Visible / Invisible Plasma Sword
Waste all of the energy for the sword. There should be no blade. Now go invisible and you can magically see the blade. Its a little strange and a pretty funny glitch.

Basic Multiplayer Glitching
First to the easy stuff, most of all people know that crouching in mid air can gain you up to about a foot of hang time (amount of time in air) and height. Well, we're lucky to have and know this because you will need it.

Wraith Boost Jumping on Headlong
On Headlong, put a wraith on the map and give every one an overshield. It is best if you modify an existing game type and have everyone start with overshields. Then go to the area where you can get a Banshee, look at the building and turn right, go staight, then to the middle section of the lower wall. Have one player go with their back straight up against the wall, and have another player in the wraith go as far back against the wall across from the other person.

DH cutscene
Delta Halo Cutscene- if you press 'A' at the very beginning then the second part will have no music! Sound bland and dull...makes you appriciate O'donnel for what he does.
More Guns Nearby
Okay, this isn't so much a trick as a failed attempt at one.
Like many players taking their first spin on the wheel of pain that is Halo 2's Legendary difficulty setting, I got hung up on the second hangar bay. All my marines were dead, all my weapons empty, all my grenades gone, and there were still about a half-dozen Elites pacing back and forth behind the portable shields. One of them wielding a sword.

More Empty Racks
More empty weapons racks early in Cairo Station. These resemble the automatic one from the Halo 2 announcement trailer, but do not appear to animate in any way. I've emptied the rack all except for one SMG that wouldn't let me pick it up, and carried them down to the loading zone past Commons and before Hangar 01.
Hey, Where Did They Go?
And here is the tragedy at last: after you go up the stairs and get the checkpoint, all the lovely guns from the early areas get garbage collected. The only ones remaining are the Covenant weapons picked up and the human weapons dropped during the two battles. The ones taken from the racks have been removed.
A Lot of Guns
And here they all are: all the human weapons from the weapons racks earlier in the level, and most of the Covenant weapons from the battles up to and including the one in Commons, before Hangar 01. Once you go up the stairwell to the left of this area, the door to Commons locks, so I knew I had to drop the weapons on this side of the door...
Crate
When Cairo Station begins, this crate is covered with weapons. I've carried the ordnance to the loading zone beyond Commons.
Empty Weapons Rack
On the landing above the area where the Covenant break in there are two automatic weapons racks holding SMGs and Battle Rifles. I've emptied them and carried the ordnance to the loading zone beyond Commons.
More Empty Weapons Racks
At the very opening of Cairo Station, just down the stairs towards where the other Marines are, there are two different kinds of weapons racks. I've emptied them and carried the ordnance to the loading zone beyond Commons.
