-'''Butterflying''' is a set of techniques ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]'' that use repeated [[Melee Canceling|melee cancels]] to move up and down and enable access to areas and routes that would not otherwise normally be possible. Historically this has also been known as '''wall climbing''', as well as '''sword climbing''' for variants that use only the [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword.]] Different variations can be performed in campaign and multiplayer.

 The trick is notably faster on [[Halo 2 (Windows Vista)]] and [[Halo 2: Anniversary]] due to the doubled frame and tick rates.
-In addition to exploration this method is used by speed runners on [[Uprising]] and [[High Charity (level)|High Charity]] to by pass the majority of the level and reach the end level trigger which exists from the start, as well as skipping the gondala rides on [[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo.]]

 *It is wise to rest between consecutive attempts at butterflying tall structures. The repetition involved in the trick could tire out or strain a player's hands.

 *The trick is most easily performed in corners.
 *An [[Overshield]] can also prolong the top player's survival.

 The default input for the person on melee cancelling is 'B RB'.
 ==== Campaign ====
+Butterflying is still possible in campaign; however its usefulness has been diminished overall. Players can no longer input jumps during melee lunges and as such cannot lift enemies on their own. If the enemy's AI is still active then the player is also beholden to where the AI moves; this is contrast to ''Halo 2'' where once the enemy is being moved in the air it will not do anything other than fire at the player if armed. Generally butterflying in campaign will allow players to "ride" the enemy character, particularly with those that can fly. For example speed runners butterfly on the back of [[Yanme'e|drone]] on the level [[Crow's Nest]] during it's scripted path as this is faster than simply walking. Likewise it is somewhat possible to ride a [[Aggressor Sentinel|sentinel]] around some of the pits on [[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ2totAdDoI</ref>

-==== Elevator Glitch ====
+Also referred to sometimes as "Butterflying" or "Butterfly Jumping," this glitch similarly allows two players to vertically gain height. Unlike the tricks listed in this article however, the Elevator glitch is performed without melee cancels and in fact does not even require that the players be on opposite teams. It is also entirely limited to corners in the map but can be performed identically in both campaign and multiplayer.
