Background/Description:
This is the second edition to the Hone Your Jump series. This focuses mainly on timing. This map features 3 different oracles throughout the map that will teleport you to the last checkpoint. I discovered this glitch (doubt I'm the first) while making the map, and to make it work, i had to delay your start by 10 seconds. Yes, this means that you must wait 10 seconds to begin the map.

My goal with this series is to provide people with a never-ending challenge that will continuously hone their jumping skills. I have found that many of these jumps help surprisingly well with jumps on normal maps. I tried to replicate many different kinds of jumps found on Bungie maps, but in my own way.

I have also left ways to escape this map, so with a little thought, you'll discover how. And of course, seeing as how I allow you to escape, there are a few extra jumps out there, but you have to find them.

Custom Gametype:

Challenge
This is the gametype used with this map. It does NOT change gravity or speed. It does change the player color to white, make the beginning weapon a magnum, and remove starting grenades. Oh, and it makes this a VIP escort game.

The Oracle
The oracles will return you to the previous checkpoints if you fail an obstacle.

Squirtle Spawn Area
This is a secondary spawn area to prevent overcrowding at the beginning. Simply jump into the teleport once the ledge spawns (thank xInfamous2x for encouraging me -and helping- to build this).

High Jump
As you walk up the stairs and bump into the wall, you will notice that you will slightly "bump" each time. Try to time your jump at the peak of this bump (and crouch jump of course).

Wall Slide
Back up, run at the stairs, and crouch jump when you are closest to the stairs. The goal is to allow your momentum to smoothly carry you up the slant. (I decided to call this a "wall slide" seeing as the term "slide jump" would cause some confusion).

Long Jump
Jump as late as possible. For those who do not regularly jump, a good delayed jump will appear as though you have jumped off of thin air.

Balancing Ledge and Jump
Walk slowly while looking inwards at a slight angle (to keep yourself from falling) and attempt to delay jump as you walk around the corner.

Momentum Jump
Basically edge yourself backwards as much as possible whilst staying on the ledge, move backwards another step and jump, then move back towards the wall and land on the ledge above.

Delayed Landing/Timed Jump
Time your jump and landing so that you land inside the crack. Try to almost hit the top wall.

Timed Jumps & Wall Slides
Time your jumps so that you land inbetween the stairs. If you fail, then you have to "wall slide" up to the intersections of the stairs.

Slide Jump off of the Foundry Slant
There are three (3) ways to reach these ledges/the radar jammer. This is the first and most difficult option. Good luck finding the others, and remember, be creative.

Equipment Jump
If you are host, look directly down while in midair, tap "X", and then repeatedly tap "A" until you jump (don't crouch). This is trickier for the non-hosts. Non-hosts must do the exact same thing, except that they must look down at a 45 degree angle. It is rather hard to do for non-hosts.

Odd Delayed Jump
This jump is...weird. It is the kind of jump where you must delay, yet at the same time be at the perfect height. This jump will seem impossible (although you might get it easily at first). It is possible to skip this jump, but make it across at least once.

The Start of the Final Jump
Once you finish the long jump, you come to this final jump. This is an equipment jump that can be done from anywhere on the ledge. This jump requires perfect timing, and I'm super cereal :p. You must delay jump from the ledge and precisely when you reach the apex of your jump, you must equipment jump. This should get you to the Foundry ledge.

The Middle/End of the Final Jump
Like i said above, you must delay jump from the ledge and precisely when you reach the apex of your jump, you must equipment jump. This should get you to the Foundry ledge, and from there, you can simply walk to the finish line, where you will meet the master oracle. You can also drop down to the beginning and repeat the course or help your friends.

The master oracle, HLG Viper! Congratulations! You win!

Special Thanks to:

xInfamous2x, for the amazing squirtle image and idea (lol).
HLG Viper for "modeling" (the master oracle).
BlazeisGod, ShellShockNinja, Cimba117, COB Handsom ROB, Kenny, and everyone else who helped me test and what not.

Oh, and on a side note, most obstacles on this map have been edited multiple times to ensure that they are as or nearly as difficult as possible. Each time I completed a jump I would make it a little harder until it was truly impossible, then I reverted it to the previous setting.
