The '''[[Assault on the Control Room]] Shortcut''' requires very good timing, so it may take some practice before you can get it. First go on to the first bridge, and make sure you have a [[plasma grenade]]. Try not to wake up any [[Grunts]], as they will be annoying and dangerous. Throw a plasma grenade on the ground, right next to a [[Shade]]. Right when the grenade explodes, quickly press '''X''' ('''E''' in [[Halo PC]]) to get in the Shade. If you're lucky, the shade will right itself and you will fall safely to the ground. By doing this, you can skip three quarters of the level. | The '''[[Assault on the Control Room]] Shortcut''' requires very good timing, so it may take some practice before you can get it.

Another way that requires skill, practice, luck and co-op is to jump. This cannot be done on Halo PC. First, when you get to the bridge with the sleeping grunts, jump off next to the shade on the LEFT side (you wouldn't believe the amount of times I went off the wrong side) and you will fall on a thin ledge. Stay close to the wall to do this. If you accidentally woke up our grunty pals, the elites will shoot at you. Since you lose shields when you fall this is bad and you can die. Run down the ledge to the lowest part, then a little further. Have your partner commit suicide, then fall down. You must be close to the wall or this will not work. You will fall past a ledge, where your partner should respawn. You will respawn next to him. Run along the ledge, taking care not to fall as it is slippery. Run over to the part that is directly above the large rocks. Drop down onto them, and you will survive. Note there are no enemies, and all the usable vehicles that the enemy usually steals can be used. You cannot, however, finish the level as a door near the end will not open. | Another way that requires skill, practice, luck and co-op is to jump. This cannot be done on Halo PC.

reply to note: The red door towards the end is after a set of two bridges, if you jump on top of the glass on the edges of these bridges you can jump the gap, and yes complete the level. | |||
