The Foundry Area might not seem like much but breaking the ceiling barrier of the room was an old school challenge that dates back to the first few years of Halo 3. There were many attempts to break the Foundry Area barrier but all failed until MCC was released. Due to the unique properties of the Deployable Cover in MCC we broke the barrier within an hour!
We actually completed this trick over a year ago but got so caught up in the possibilities of DC launching that we never really highlighted the Foundry Area barrier break so we made this video to help close the book on this old school trick.
Prior to us, DC launching was being toyed with by many speedrunners like AlienFlow and Nagato, but for us, The Foundry Area barrier break opened our eyes to the power of DC launching. Thanks to this trick we were able to brain storm many ideas for other tricks that lead to the completions of the Crow’s Nest Cutscene Rooms, The Ramp Room, The Portal Room, The Crow’s Nest Cortana Room and even help with The Cage to some extent. In short, The Foundry Area, for us, was the start of the completion of many tricks and it only felt right to make a video of where it all began.
Hope you guys enjoy!
