: Wild. How did you do this?

Yesterday I found a hole in that area's "no fun" invisible barrier that you can use to get on top of the buildings. I'm sure other people have already found it; it is almost directly above the entrance to that area. All you need is a little boost to reach the diagonal support, and the Mongoose you are already driving works great for that. There seem to be some instant-kill zones, so tread a little carefully.

There is a secondary invisible barrier that disappears once all the enemies are defeated. If you are standing on top of the buildings, you have just enough time after this barrier falls to run to where the Scarab spawns before the "Judgment" chapter begins.

Fun fact: That feature they put in, where when you die several times immediately after spawning you'll be sent back to the previous checkpoint, only applies to checkpoints, not "chapters". This can useful, or annoying, when trying to position yourself for something like this..

..because the Scarab spawns "underground" and apparently jumps up with enough force to not only kill you, but detonate your grenades AND launch your body an unreasonable distance. Ouch. But apparently there is one sweet spot where you can stand, slide along the Scarab's deck, and somehow ..SOMETHING.. close enough to land on it. I'm still not sure how exactly all that happens, ..

Then it's just a matter of holding on as it jumps down :)

I did a "save and quit" at the Judgment chapter point and then resumed my session (resulting in a new saved film) so I would have a nice, short campaign film. All in all, it was fun to see what was possible. And no modz or hackz or whatever.
