Ohmygod. This is gonna save me SO much time in my Blood Gulch remake. The Caves will be SO much easier! (In my opinion)
Ya, not sure if you can give one person credit for this and be certain about it. So many people forge without being on forgehub, or xbl to that fact. This is one of the most beautiful tricks on Halo 3. It was once held in close, but it spread like infection. Yes it does save you a LOT of time, and makes everything look just that much more pro. Funny how bungie integrated it as a default option on Reach.
No, I use ghost merging with the default controls. You don't need any specific control set. Any will do.
So, how do people "stumble upon" these glitches? Do they say "I'm going to make one object never respawn and another regularly respawn, make the other one disappear and then force it to spawn and see if I find an amazing glitch that will cut forging times in half or more." I'm just wondering, it's not supposed to be an insult.
