On a recent run through IW I discovered a few locations in IW where the game perimeter can be breached.

Decided to revisit my old haunt here and see if anyone else had found them. Guess the climbing community isn't as big as it used to be for thief or dx as I couldn't find any. So heres a list of what I've got so far.

This started as a game against the clock so ran through Seattle without checking it need to go back and try it again.

Mako Balistics Exterior:
When you start grab a few large crates and stack them in front of the door.
Also throw one onto the roof.
Use them to climb up onto the roof of that section before picking the one on the roof and placing it against the boundary wall.
You can now climb up and onto the boundary wall or even over it.
For the most part this could also be an Ideal stealth route as from the boundary wall you can get onto the ledge that runs round the building exterior, but ISA have sabotaged this by putting a fence on the ledge to keep you in when in this case you're already out.

Egypt:
Medina:
From the Templars Appartment go to the right hand side of the balcony.
Crouch jump onto the railing.
From here crouch Jump onto the pipes in front of you.
edge away from the wall and stand up you can either mantle straight ahead which leads to a long fall or turn right and mantle onto the roof of the balcony
You can now wander freely around the rooftops.

Egypt:
Nassif Greenhouse:
On the balcony overlooking the courtyard mantle up.
Edge forward till you drop onto the beams sticking out the front of the balcony.
Turn right and jump to the beam on the wall.
Seems to be hit or miss here, but a series of jumps and mantles onto thing like the window frame will brink you onto a platform.

On the left is an airshaft that takes you to a secret room with what appears to be an alternative level exit but you can't get out of it.

To the right is another platform with roof beams above it climb onto this platform and mantle onto the beams. you can now explore the rooftops of the greenhouse and attack the turrets from above where they can't shoot you.

Liberty Island:
Both Maps:
On either map using the speed Aug allows you to jump over the boundary wall from crates there's not much out there though.

regards,

Stuart

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZzoGpLDFEY) A bunch of others
I got to the top of the Medina the easy way! Repeatedly hopping up bits sticking out of the wall with the speed biomod thing. It's a pity I couldn't record me doing the actual jumps, but fraps slows the hell out of games.

There's loads of jumps in Lower seattle, you can get on the roofs of the main part and Heron's loft. I've tried getting to the rooftops on the side of the helicopter bay but with no success. On Liberty, there's ways to get onto the statue base on the Templar/Tracer Tong side using one of the rocks. Near Tracer tong you can also jump on some of the light fixtures and boost onto the cliff.

Success, in upper Seattle you can stack dustbins at the Waterfall end and with full speed aug you can jump up to the railway tracks.
from here you can look in the windows of the Metro station and the Galleria without any trouble.
Guess it might be possible to climb higher onto the rooftops as well.


Lower Seattle
Jump on the skip next to the coffee shop and open the ventilation grate. Now jump on top of this and move as far right as you can towards the coffe shop awning. now using the speed aug on full you can jump up to the roof and from here can get onto the roofs of the order church of coffee shopand from there to the rest of the level.

Also Forgot to say Templar Compound in trier.
From Crates maximum speed Aug onto church roof then can wander.
