yeah crouch repeatedly is that special type of jump (I forget the name) which makes it impossible to headshot you while jumping That's called Gandhi hopping, but how to use it here when trying to jump/clamber to a ledge that is otherwise too high to reach?

This is likely related to controller setup, but you need to be able to jump and hold the jump button while engaging the auto-stabilize at peak height (Smart Scope or Smart Scope + Sprint if you elected to turn-off the default setting for auto-stabalize) then repeatedly press the couch button (the crouch button will need to be turned off of toggle mode). You'll need a control setup that allows you to do all of these things (hold jump, enable the auto-stabilize, and crouch jump repeatedly in the air - aka Gandhi hopping) with some ease in order to practice your timing so you can get good at it.
These are reasons why I changed from the Halo 4 setup to the default setup, but now that I've been playing with the auto-stabilize setting as non-default I've been struggling to make this type of jumping work as it's just hard to do all the necessary things in proper sync.

Thanks for the info, that has been my guess and it is nice to confirm. Currently I am using face buttons for jump (A) and crouch (B), and I can't hold jump while repeatedly pressing crouch even with a claw grip. Looks like I need to either give up on these moves, or switch a controller layout that put jump on bumpers. Maybe it is finally time to do latter. Since I need to play CoD and Halo at the same time, maybe I will go with Helljumper: A - Sprint B - Action & Reload X - Thruster Pack Y - Switch Weapons Left Analog - Movement Left Analog Click - Crouch Right Analog Click - Melee Attack & Spartan Charge & Ground Pound (HOLD) Right Analog - Look Right Trigger - Fire Weapon Left Trigger - Smart-Link & Zoom Left Bumper - Jump & Clamber Right Bumper - Throw Grenade

I've been using the default setting with my Elite Controller and trying to get use to using a Pad that I assigned to the Jump/Clamber mechanic. It's been very difficult to get my muscle memory built up with only a handful of matches thus far and since I've taken the auto-stabilize off of the default setting it's even harder to perform this particular technique as it's not natural for me to press the Sprint (aka left thumbstick) mechanic while in the air to engage the auto-stabilize.

The biggest problem with the above switch though is that I can't unify the controls across the 3 games I play on a regular basis: Destiny / Halo 5 / BLOPS 3.
I am going to experiment with my current layout a bit more. Maybe during the jumps I can take my thumb from the right stick and put it on A (while having index finger on crouch).
Once my Elite Controller arrives (post Xmas most likely), I will see how much freedom it can provide and make a final decision.

I really need to understand how to jump from the ground up into the back tower of the core on the Warzone Assault map with the Spire.
That seems like a sick trick to that map

I really need to understand how to jump from the ground up into the back tower of the core on the Warzone Assault map with the Spire. That seems like a sick trick to that map It requires a second player. You have to jump off his/her head and it has to be timed to jump off their head as they reach the peak of thier jump, so it works like this... - Jump onto teammates head - Jump straight up - Teammate jumps after your jump and tries to time it so that he/she reaches thier peak height as you fall back down to thier head - Jump again after reaching thier head; you should hooefully reach the ledge and clamber should get you up the rest of the way.

Still havent experimented much with the advanced jumping, let alone integrate them into the actual game play. Intended to work on them like a mini game when I find the time.

Added: Jump Boost trick on Fathom (video) by TBE - It's an interesting new method to get up top, but it's quite tricky/difficult however it's very quick.
Added: Boost and Jump tricks on Truth (video) by TBE - shows you a useful slide boost (Pro player Snip3down uses) and a couple of new jumps.

Added: Jumps on Riptide (video) by TBE -- think of it as being more of a part 1 video.
Thruster Pack Efficiency (video) by TBE -- meant to get you to think about using the Spartan Charge's thruster boost first.

Did some catching up by adding 8 videos: Flag Juggling with Sprint, Boost Thrust Trick on Regret, 4 Nade Spot on Pegasus, Shadow Tip on The Rig, Light Tip on Truth, Instant Power-up Tip, Discussing Handling Pressure, and Discussing Replay Review Analysis. Also, added notes that confirmed the removal of the Slide Boost trick from the game.

I still play once a week but it's always Warzone Assault.
I'm looking forward to trying this new Warzone mode that was in Beta on the weekend. Firefight?

I played Warzone Firefight for 2 hours on Monday, it was a beta that has already ended, and no official release date yet.
It shows some promises but need some major work especially on difficulty front to make it appealing.

wittyscorpion How did it play? I only saw a short trailer on it a week or so back so I really know little about it. Does it still feature 24 players and are you all battling each other for earning the kills of the AI?

Does it still feature 24 players and are you all battling each other for earning the kills of the AI? The beta featured 8 player co-op. Each game is consisted of 5 rounds, with varied objectives like clean up enemies, defend the garage, and kill bosses. And yes, essentially players are essentially competing with each other for kills. Based on what I read on reddit, the general feedback about the game mode are (and I agree): 1) too easy; 2) defend the garage is the best objective; 3) promethean enemies are not as fun as covenant; I played for around 2 hours and did not feel excited about it. 343 needs to make some major improvements to make it attractive to me.
