Occasionally a gaming clip will pop up on the internet that leaves viewers asking a simple question: How? In the case of Twitter user ClearlyMe’s Halo 3 video, that couldn’t be more true. ClearlyMe has a habit of turning Halo into more of a platformer than it was ever intended to be, and this jump trick is absolutely insane.
Halo 3 was recently re-released as part of the Master Chief Collection, bringing the game to the Xbox One and adding a few new features. While there’s always been a devout fanbase for the game even 13 years since its launch, this new collection has reignited the spark in many prior fans as well.
This jump trick requires expert calculation, precise landing and timing, and more likely than not a whole lot of attempts. Naturally, viewers only see the final successful attempt in which ClearlyMe makes the whole thing look easy, but it’s not recommended to try this at home and expect any success.
The clip starts with ClearlyMe throwing a grenade and firing a rocket off into the distance, seemingly at random (spoiler alert: it’s not random). He then leaps off the cliff in an attempt to make what should by all rights be an impossible jump, only to land on the debris from his rocket fire as it carries him across the gap. As that piece of metal begins to fall too low, he jumps off from it and successful jumps off a cone which went flying due to his grenade from earlier. In order to get this right, he had to time the delay of the grenade, aim the rocket at the exact right position, and get the jumps right.
In a follow up tweet to his own accomplishment (which he dubs “The Most Useless Thing [He’s] Done On Halo”), he jokingly states that Halo should give him a custom nameplate if he manages to get 1000 likes on his post. The video he shared already has over 2,000 likes at the time of writing, but his follow up post is resting uncomfortably at just over 300. Whether or not Halo will grant his request remains to be seen, but the Twitter account hasn’t made any comment on it.
Fans that like this sort of thing should be sure to check out ClearlyMe’s other stuff, as he frequently accomplishes insane feats like this. It’s also great proof that even after all this time, Halo 3 is still going strong.
Halo 3 is available now on PC, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
