Halo Reach Trick - Getting on the Master Chief Statue

The Master Chief Statue, suspended a staggering 80 units above the map of Lone Wolf in the shipyard, was one of the three remaining Reach trick challenges. For the past ten years we've dabbled with this trick, testing multiple methods to reach the height of the statue, and how to execute the plan. With the limitation of resources, needing to get not one, but THREE people out of the map in a single attempt, and having a slanted surface to launch from, and of course not to mention the fact that there are no checkpoints, meaning you have one attempt per restart, there were too many factors that just seemed impossible to take all into account and to execute perfectly.

Recently we discovered a better position to stand on the Spirit dropships that make the out of map with Armor Lock much easier to successfully pull off, which made getting three players out in a single attempt much more likely. Eventually then we reached the height of the statue a few times but the slant was a problem for us. We actually had to use PanCam and physical sheets of math to line up the correct trajectory to the statue; not an easy process at all. But once we knew we had the height for the statue the rest was just little technical pieces that would bring the whole thing together. The reason why this must be done on Local if you're on 360 is that you need pancam to line up correctly. If you are playing MCC you can activate pancam in multiplayer, though.

We would laugh if we knew a few months ago that we'd be uploading a video showing the completion of the Master Chief Statue, but sure enough, lo and behold, here we are. On March 25th, 2020, Sekela successfully landed the launch to the Master Chief Statue, and completed this major tricking challenge.
