The Black Spartan is a hidden biped that is loaded inside the Autumn towards the end of the mission. It was used as a scaling biped, comparing the size of a regular spartan model to the Autumn. It's purely technical, and was never meant to be seen, let alone reached.
Eventually, and pretty early on in Reach's release, players discovered the Black Spartan in theater mode, and was only thought possible to be reached that way.
Then in 2013, featured in our first video, 'Tribute', a group of members, Sekela, Duelies, and Muffy, reached the Black Spartan legitimately in game through a sequence of launches, clips, and loadzone manipulation. It was a massive accomplishment.
Recently we discovered a new way to get to the Black Spartan by falling onto him from above using a suspended box through loadzone manipulation. You are about to witness its process and unfolding.

[Watch the orirignal Meta Stability 2.0 here: https://youtu.be/-bWqm4qSN1I?si=CXacVonFvPf3Wf0c]
In 2012, former tricking group Terminal Velocity showcased a Halo: Reach video featuring the manipulation of AI. Meta Stability 2.0 paved the way for all future Halo: Reach AI maniupulations, as it pushed the boundaries in the ways people perceived the possibilities of the game. Featuring groundbreaking AI manipulations thoughtfully illustrated through soft landscapes and meditative scenes, and paired with a serene soundscape, the video captures a unique profundity and stands as one of the most monumental tricking videos of all time.
This video serves as a visual remaster of the original Meta Stability 2.0, twelve years after its debut. Keeping the original tricks and feel of the video intact, we are pleased to share with you this video in hopes to keep the legacy of Terminal Velocity and the Meta Stability series alive.
~ A note from the editor:
I was first introduced to tricking Halo in 2013. I was 14 years old at the time, and I happened to stumble across Meta Stability 2.0 shortly after being involved in the tricking forums on Jumprs and Alt-Gaming. For me, it was the greatest Halo video I had ever set my eyes on. I was completely captivated by the unique and seemingly infinite possibilities of the game outside of map boundaries and norms of the game. It was also the first time I had ever heard music like that. The video became a huge catalyst and component of how I tricked Halo, and to this day, any AI manipulation that I do within the game carries inspiration and has its roots in Meta Stability 2.0. Reiko is very humble and nonchalant about the video, and often dismisses it as being an ordinary video. I believe it to be the greatest tricking video of all time. In 2012, nobody was making videos of such production quality, and each video he made brought a special touch and a depth that I still cant put my finger on to this day.
It has been a huge privilege to work on the remaster of Meta Stability 2.0. For a long time I was very apprehensive of making it, and still feel some of that apprehension still after its completion. Most importantly, I wanted to be respectful to the original video. Meta Stability 2.0 Remastered is far from a remaster. In my eyes it is just a 4k 60fps version of the original Meta Stability 2.0, The video may be updated in its visuals, yet I still feel it pales in comparison to the original. I simply make this humble offering of a video to my good friend and inspiration, for all the years you have taught me and been patient with me.
