</div>'''Tank Jumping''', otherwise known as '''Tank Pinball''', refers to two glitches involving [[Scorpion]]s. One of them can be used to make a Scorpion fly; the other can launch a player. | |||

At this point, ''Person A'' should flip the bottom Scorpion, launching the top Scorpion into the air.

Tank jumping can also occur, with a bit more work, in [[Campaign]] mode. In the level [[Delta Halo]], get the Scorpion to the chapter "''You Break It, You Buy It.''" After killing all the enemies in the area, blow up the energy shield right next to the fountain and drive the tank onto the shield emitter. Sit there until the shield turns on. Move or fire your cannon, and you should go flying around, spinning the whole time. This technique was pioneered in November 2004 and hence filmed by [http://web.archive.org/web/20050829015708/lleyad.com/videos.html Lleyad.com].

This is often far more entertaining -- and lethal -- than the multiplayer version. This can also be accomplished slightly later on in the level, when you come up on the final outdoor structure. If the trick works, the Scorpion will be flung into the air, often exploding. | ||

There is also another neat little trick that will produce almost the same results on the ''Halo 2'' map [[Zanzibar]]. First, set the primary heavy vehicle to a Scorpion Tank. During the match, get into the Scorpion and drive it around the windmill. Drive the tank into the windmill, with the front end facing the beach. Keep the tank level as the blade pushes you up the windmill. When the front part of the tank hits the walkway, the tank will start flying through the air. | There is also another neat little trick that will produce almost the same results on the ''Halo 2'' map [[Zanzibar]].
