I'd like to keep everything as hidden as possible until the final video, if possible. :D

That's fine.
There is no need to post a video as we did with Tsavo and The Storm but you should at least post your final time when it is complete. You could even keep it a secret until we record the commentary if you have tricks we have not seen yet.

Update:
I am stuck on one particular segment, have been for over a month now. It is extremely difficult as it involves equal amounts of skill and luck.

Three of my five Onza Razer came out of the box with slow turn which self-corrected with a few week of use. Yes, i am on my fifth set. Thank goodness for extended warrantees.

Yeah, I have the Razer Onza TE with the same problem. Razer won't help me because I am outside of the US.
On topic: I have borrowed a controller from a friend, hopefully ill finish this segment soon.

Can somebody make a toutorial on box launching? It might come in handy in other levels.

I don't have the capabilities to record the tutorial but I can give you a quick text version.
You can box launch (in the halo 3 engine) off purple covenant boxes and small UNSC grey boxes.
To get the most 'power' out of the launch you need to be centered with the box you are launching off, having said that. If you wish to achieve less 'power' ie. height or distance, you can sit slightly either side of the centre.
This is where it gets complicated, the type of launch you want to achieve and the type of box you are using changes the execution of the launch.
Using the small UNSC boxes (the ones I use in floodgate) you can launch in the direction parallel to the edges of the box. However, vertical launches by standing directly on top of the box wield poor results.
If you wish to get the most distance from one of these launches you need to slightly angle the box upwards. This is done by running into the box as you are swinging the hammer. This launches you at a rough 40 degree angle instead of along the ground, giving you more distance.
Also, the point in which you aim the hammer greatly impacts the 'power' of the launch, you should play around and figure out where you need to aim because it depends too heavily on the position of the box and how far you tilted it. As a general rule, aim slightly above the box in the centre and swing the hammer as you make contact with the box.
TL;DR:
1. Position yourself in the centre of the box, a few steps away.
2. Aim hammer slightly above the centre of the box.
3. Run into the box and as you make contact swing the hammer.
4. Jump a split second after the hammer swing to increase the distance launched.

Remember you need exact ammo/frag counts from chapter 1. My chapter 1 isn't final so I can't give you those numbers, basically you cannot start chapter two without someone completing chapter 1.
