I know there are a lot of Halo 2 players out there who have wondered and have searched. Well, it is time, here is your Halo 2 multiplayer hacks, cheats, glitch, and glitches unveiled! Want to know how to do the so called halo 2 dummy glitch, here is the exact way to do it.

Halo 2 Online Cheats


First off, taking advantage of a glitch in Halo 2 is not considered cheating, even though it can be considered cheap. If you did want further knowledge about actual cheating going on in online Halo 2, check out the Halo 2 Cheating Article. This will tell you the most significant cheats that Bungie and X-Box are quickly working to resolve.

Halo Glitch- Fly with the Sword


That's right, I have finally tested out the glitch that requires a warthog and the energy sword. If you didn't think it was possible to fly into the sky with no limitations of gravity, get ready to surprise yourself. This glitch is actually pretty simple to do with very enjoyable, or should I say humorous, results. You can check out how to fly by reading Learn to Fly Online in Halo 2. However, before you run over and check out this glitch, here are a few added notes. When you jump in the warthog, you have to have an enemy player come close enough near you so your reticule turns red. When you click the right trigger to swing you will hear a strange noise, as if the sword did some type of half swing and fizzled out. Next have your partner [the enemy player] run away from you. In the example in the listed article, I said to have the other player fly up to the sniper cliff, placing him/her extremely high and far from yourself. Now, just aim your target over to where the player is and press 'X.' You immediately jump out of the vehicle and seamlessly fly to your target. It is fun for the person doing it and the person who sees you floating right at them.

Halo Glitch- Dummy Player


This is a glitch that can and will piss of other players during Halo 2 matches online; especially if you are playing CTF. For the glitch to work, you must first follow a few rules as follows:

  • You cannot be the host of the match
  • You cannot be on split screen with a second player
  • You must have your character be an 'elite' model. You can't be the master chief.


  • Now that you have fulfilled these criteria, lets continue. For example sake, lets say you have a friend also playing in the same match on the map Coagulation. Have your friend meet you near the warthog. Tell your friend to watch you and let you know when his television shows you OUT of the warthog. Here are the steps to create your 'dummy' for the dummy glitch.

  • Jump in the passenger seat of the warthog
  • Now, press and hold 'X' to jump out of the warthog.
  • While your elite character is on its way out, start tapping 'B' repeatedly. This will cause your character to show up on your television as if he were still sitting in the warthog passenger seat. Remember to keep pressing the melee button continuously.
  • Once your friend says that you look OUT of the warthog to him, you have successfully completed the dummy glitch. You do not need to hold 'X' anymore [but keep tapping 'B'].


  • So, on your television you see yourself as in the warthog, while everyone else sees you as OUT of the warthog. Your friend can now drive the warthog and take you all over the map, with no risk to you. The best part is the teleport function that comes with this Halo 2 glitch. Once you stop hitting 'B' repeatedly, your character will jump out of the warthog. DON'T MOVE. The second you move [as in take a step, you CAN look around], you are immediately teleported back to where you first entered the warthog and created the 'dummy'.

    While this is a cool glitch, you can use it for ill-intent purposes. Here are some uses of the 'dummy glitch':

  • You can attack people once out of the warthog, just don't move. The people cannot see you nor hurt you.
  • Get the sword, do the glitch, and then have your buddy pull right up to you with the warthog once you are out of it. Take a swing at the warthog and watch it go flying in crazy spins and heights.
  • CTF games: You can find way to enter a base, grab the flag, and immediately teleport back to the location where the dummy glitch first began. So, imagine that you begin the glitch near your base. Once you grab the enemy flag you can immediately return to your base and score it.


  • Now, here is a word of WARNING. Bungie claims that all glitches are fair, as each person can find the ways to take advantage of them. However, there is rumors that the dummy glitch has just become part of the extensive 'cheat list' that Bungie holds. It is possible that your account will be suspended if caught taking advantage of this glitch.

    If you still cannot figure out how this glitch works or how it looks, check out the video for it: Halo 2 Dummy Glitch Demonstration.

    *This article is an interest piece only, for the enjoyment of gamers who like to find neat glitches in popular games. I personally hate cheaters and do not encourage the use of the listed cheats/glitches in any of your online games.
