'''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. | '''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.

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> | |||
