Outside ALL barriers on Storm/Floodgate *spoilers*
Posted By: pete_the_duckDate: 10/25/07 9:31 p.m.


I found a method for getting the saved film camera outside ALL of a level's barriers. The applications for this may be limited to certain situations where the proper tools and barrier alignments exist, but my proof-of-concept was The Storm and Floodgate.

Check out my fileshare (has the best ones) and screenshot galleries for some nice pictures of ..a few different things ;)

How to:
The basic method to get outside invisible barriers with the saved film camera is to position the camera between the invisible barrier in question and some object that will past through it or bump directly into it, such as a phantom dropship, scarab, pelican, etc. As the object runs into you, you'll be bumped past the barrier.

There are two problems that prevent you from doing some real exploring, though:
1. There is a second set of invisible barriers (which no object tends to pass through)
2. If you DO get past the second set, you'll be snapped back next to the player

So here is what I found:
On the levels I tested, the lowermost barrier(s) is the best way out (since an object dropped will pass through the first and come to rest on the second [in The Storm and Floodgate, the lowermost barrier is common]). If you can get pushed through both, you are basically free to roam as far as you'd like. To avoid problem 2, you need to be dead when you do this, so the camera has nowhere to snap back to.

Examples:
The Storm - capture the first Wraith and drive it off into the Artifact crater. After you are dead, but before you spawn, save and quit and load up the saved film. Use the Wraith to bump you through the barrier, and your player will already be dead at this point. I hope you enjoy holding down the left trigger because the Keyship is WAY out there.

Floodgate - turn around from where you spawn and use the nearby crates as your object by pushing one over the edge. You really need to experiment with the invisible barriers here; the first is very close to the cliff and the lowermost is actually a decent distance away from the base of the cliff (due to terrain).

Take that, "no fun" barriers!!
