He was a bit of a fraud, but undoubtedly one of the most convincing and legendary fraudsters in halo speedrunning. I remember seeing him in the Guinness book of records many years ago, before he was exposed. I feel he inspired a lot of people to pursue halo speedruns and for that I’m sure it makes up for his sectioned (but pretend full run 😂) speedruns
off topic but noob killer roof did like 13 records in a row and kept the wr for 9 years in medievil speedruuns,people suchj as garish and nkr are insane tbh
I used to speedrun CE Legendary like 10 years ago. The highest I got was #6 on the FG haloruns leaderboard and the time was like 1:51:xx or something. I was never any good but goatrope called me "rookie of the year" which is one of my proudest gaming accomplishments LOL Insane that times are getting close to being south of an hour. I still go back and do the old routes on CE for fun sometimes. Such a satisfying game.
Dude. The amount of info you packed into this is absurd. An absolute masterclass in research and presenting supporting visuals. I'm amazed by the effort and expertise shown here.
Something I wanna compliment that I don't see many people focus on is the audio mixing, perfect audio balance between music and narration (as well as good mic quality) does so much to boost a video's apparent quality and I feel like it gets taken for granted until someone does it really badly, so great job on that front as well
This, this is The love halo speedrunning deserves. Summoning Salts Halo 2 video was a massive disappoint to me since he only talked about the mcc release which skipped looking into literally every glitch and optimization that was found since the original xbox release.
Thank you for including the very first speedrun competition in your video. I remember buying a special video card that could record input from the xbox just for this competition. It was a surprise to see this and remind myself of those perfect days playing Halo all day after school. There was nothing impressive in my run compared to modern attempts, but I was a kid who had played that level so much in prep for the contest that my body started shaking during the parts I knew could destroy a run. You actually had nice things to say about my video, I was worried you'd tear it apart. Thank you :)
As someone who speedruns CE (not competitively) I really enjoyed this video. The history of how and when the tricks were discovered was unknown to me. Thank you to Burnt and others that helped create the awesome strategies used today!
LotsofLuck here - thanks for the shoutout. Amazing to see how much the runs have evolved over time. Great documentary! For The Maw, I wasn't the first person to open up both reactors at the same time, that strategy was used by most runners back in the day. I got a lower The Maw record by saving a rocket to launch the warthog over the end barrels and drive to the end of the level, which turned out to be faster than walking.
Ah, ok. Of the record videos I found you were the first but I'm sure there are some lost to time. The rocket thing at the end I just completely missed 😅
@@frogarchist No worries! You did an excellent job documenting Halo speedrunning. There was plenty of things I learned about runners who were before my time and afterward I stopped. It's a shame many of those old runs are lost to history. It's fun to see how much Halo speedrunning has evolved.
Really enjoyed this vid! My only criticism was in when you were describing updated times for old records, it was basically impossible to remember what the old record was, so I had no idea how much of an improvement had been made. Having the old time and date next to the new number would be useful, or even some kind of split as to how much time exactly was saved.
Dude I never comment on TH-cam but the level of production you put into making this video is master class. Thank you for this amazing Halo content, so looking forward to more of your work!
Thank you for doing this, CE needed one in my opinion because of how insane the strats have become over the years. It's also cool to see how tricks from the segmented runs were implemented over time, I'm glad you realized their importance and gave them coverage.
I remember Garish was constantly getting the WR for Halo, his runs were my favorites. I miss seeing him play the game. He also speedruns Oblivion. My two favorite games. lol
I came into this knowing nothing about Halo Speedrunning, and left knowing more than I ever would've even expected existed on the subject - and all from one video. Well done, Frog! Bingeing your channel currently and all your stuff is very well made. Keep it up :)
Best video yet. I didn't even check how long it was before I started watching, thought it was like 25 mins. An hour later and I was still hooked. Great stuff.
This is awesome. It was cool to see some of the faces behind the names of the achievements. Please do another video like this for Halo 2. Both CE and 2 are so much fun to watch watch due to the amount of game breaking that goes on. I'm not much of a speed runner myself, but I learnt a few strats to get the the Goat Roped and Monopolized achievements, which was a lot of fun to do.
Awesome history! I played Halo CE, 2, 3, and ODST for the first time just last month, so it's really cool to get up to speed on the very storied history of this game.
Amazing video, very well presented. I only wish there were a "Previous record: XY:XY" when you list the new map records. I can't tell how much the shave of the times.
You deserve a way bigger audience than you already have your preparation with scripting and editing is obvious and always a pleasure to watch easily of my favourite channels on yt keep it up bro
Whoa, amazing video! If memory serves, the Riptor legendary T&R record that lasted so long had a pretty nasty combat death, possibly on the Belly of the Beast fight. It's really crazy how much re-routing and refinement has happened over the last decade.
I used you be obsessed with trick jumping, glitching and getting out of maps back in the day. Really wish I would have known about the speed running community back then!
Appreciate the information and all the effort you put into making this. Halo was a pivotal game for me and and there were a lot of late nights spent in a LAN party with friends playing CE (and split screen Goldeneye, prior to that). I'm still working on the MCC part time achievements and every time I see a video like this it gives me the itch to go back and start playing again.
Awesome video! I would like to note that you talk very fast and sometimes numbers and words meld together I had to double back a few times during the video to understand what you were talking about. It feels like you are reading from a script but there is 5 minutes left in class lol. Other wise super awesome video hope this video and your channel blows up!
Excellent stuff, watched a few others before this (Halo 5, 4 campaigns ) but this one earned a sub. Suggestion for future content. This was excellent to get the full CE speedrunning timeline, but it was SO much info at once and difficult to track progress on each level over time. It could be fun to see each level get its own video, so all the skips and tricks discovered for each level can be covered chronologically instead of all levels at once.
I'm in the middle of my first HALO CE playthrough (yes, really) and watching these runners YOLO levels that took me well over an hour is strangely cathartic.
"Silence fills the empty grave, now that I have gone. But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on. I will ask, and you will answer. All will perish, as they should. Side by side we march as one. Divided, we shall fall. All will perish, as they should. Side by side we march as one. Divided, we shall fall. All will perish, as they should. Side by side we march as one. Divided, we shall fall."
Great video. My friend and I had several of the records for coop times on highspeedhalo. It was hard to record videos back then, you needed expensive equipment like a DVD recorder or capture card to be able to get them onto your PC. Then you had to upload the the video files somewhere, youtube wasn't a thing until 2005 and even then you couldn't upload videos over 10 minutes long.
Cody Miller has taught me that to be extremely good at Halo you have to be extraordinarily bad at it on the difficulty mode the average player will play it at.
Love how there's tons of stuff happening left and right but scurty is still just undeterrred and improving his keyes time for the 372th time. Absolute madlad.
This video is phenomenal dude! Reminds me of the summoning salt videos, you absolutely nailed this and documented the history of my favorite game of all time. Are you going to do the other games? I know that Halo CE is your bread and butter, but you clearly have intimate knowledge of the other games too
I remember Garish had the WR, and at that time not many people were doing CE speedruns. Mad respect to him for finding motivation to still grind even tho there wasn't much competition
33:28 is single-handedly the most Halo thing I've ever seen. Using a grenade to launch another grenade to knock a banshee off a ledge 500 feet in the air is Peak Halo. It doesn't get any more Halo.
The ABSOLUTE FUCKING DOMINATION by GarishGoblin and his complete STRANGLEHOLD on the CE Legendary category is still so amazing. Dude didnt just hold it for 7 years straight...he also made like 50 improvements to his run. Im a little sad hes not #1 now.... but it was only a matter of time with new strats and people learning and trying them, and with such a large goal to go for.
Never thought I'd see someone beat goblin at this. I've sped run this game , but there are some skips that even I don't know how to do or haven't attempted. If I knew how , it I would have made my laso run much easier than it was.
Great video, real trip down the memory lane... makes me want to play more again. Also Cody Miller.... what a legend
He was a bit of a fraud, but undoubtedly one of the most convincing and legendary fraudsters in halo speedrunning. I remember seeing him in the Guinness book of records many years ago, before he was exposed. I feel he inspired a lot of people to pursue halo speedruns and for that I’m sure it makes up for his sectioned (but pretend full run 😂) speedruns
GarishtheGODlin! Always nice seeing a legend in the wild, what a pleasant surprise. Also, yes, please play more 😁
Get it Garish!
I love you Garish, please play more!
Garish remains true GOAT
Still insane how Garish held the WR for almost 7 years
If I remember correctly Garish invented / discovered the super grenade jump trick for Silent Cartographer?
@@afanoflafear no
@@frogarchist I like the firm no
@@frogarchist No it was me.
off topic but noob killer roof did like 13 records in a row and kept the wr for 9 years in medievil speedruuns,people suchj as garish and nkr are insane tbh
You weren’t kidding when you said this was your best video. Another Frog Banger

I will always love goatrope
I still maintain that it was a de-rust run. It just happened to be a very good derust run.
Awesome video
Who's Nervy?

Congrats to SlothSG who has since beaten Cambid's legendary time with a 1:02:25 on September 18th 2024!

Fantastic work Frog, noticed you uploaded this on CE’s 22nd birthday, the thought and effort you put into your videos truly is legendary
It's so interesting to watch the video quality slowly get better and better. Literally watching technology evolve over 22 years.
As someone who speedruns CE (not competitively) I really enjoyed this video. The history of how and when the tricks were discovered was unknown to me.
Thank you to Burnt and others that helped create the awesome strategies used today!
Great video man. This is exactly what I was hoping for. I can’t thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into making this.
Check out the history of Halo 2 speed runs by summoning salt. It’s great!
LotsofLuck here - thanks for the shoutout. Amazing to see how much the runs have evolved over time. Great documentary!

I’d love to see more videos like this on the history of other halo game speed runs. Hope this video does well
This is one, if not the, best breakdowns of the speedrunning history of a singular video game.
Thank you for doing this, CE needed one in my opinion because of how insane the strats have become over the years. It's also cool to see how tricks from the segmented runs were implemented over time, I'm glad you realized their importance and gave them coverage.

The time and patience it took to find and refine every trick is mind-blowing. Excellent video!

This video was amazing, I didn't expect to watch it all being so long but I did. It was formatted brilliantly.
I love Halo, but this is a side of the fandom I knew nothing about! This was freaking awesome! Would love more of these on the other games!!
Best video yet. I didn't even check how long it was before I started watching, thought it was like 25 mins. An hour later and I was still hooked. Great stuff.

For over an hour this was non stop amazing info. I think I'm gonna have to watch it again later to really let it all sink in.
One of the most watchable and re watchable YT vids I've ever seen. The talent and articulation makes me excited for the future.
This video was fucking amazing. So much props to all the runners over those 2 decades

great video! crazy how fast the run is today
Thanks for the help
The effort on this video is insane and greatly appreciated
More speed run history videos plsss
10/10 would like again, and thank you for your hard work and time into this!
Whoa, amazing video!

I used you be obsessed with trick jumping, glitching and getting out of maps back in the day. Really wish I would have known about the speed running community back then!
This is the best documentary I’ve seen all year.
Mister Monopoli's Halo 2 Run at GDQ was my introduction to halo speedrunning and I've enjoyed it ever since
Literally one of the greatest videos on TH-cam ever
I can only imagine how much time it took you to put this video together. Amazing stuff!
WOW what a video. I enjoyed this so much. PLEASE do videos on the history of speedrunning Halo 2 and 3!!
Great video my dude. Cannot wait to see you follow up with Halo 2 speedrunning history and even Halo 3!
Amazing video man your the reason i got into speedrunning in the first place loved learning the history of it
Love it! Can’t imagine how much time was put into this. Thanks for the vid
great video for an awesome game. and Garish and sloth are really great youtube content creator as well
frog never misses with his videos, glad i subbed!
I cant imagine all the research needed or this video. Great job.
Also 53:01 is truly peak.

you're not the only one, I had to watch at 0.75 speed because there were barely any pauses left to process the information
Its not often I sit through an hour long video but this was well edited and entertaining
Excellent stuff, watched a few others before this (Halo 5, 4 campaigns ) but this one earned a sub.

hell yeah brother. i was sneaking to play or watch my dad's halo cd rom at least 15 years ago. still goes hard
Thank you and the community for this! Been so cool to follow casually and very happy to see this collaboration yielding such amazing runs!
Would love to see more videos like this!
Great video, it must have been really difficult to collect an compile all those information, well done !
This was a great watch. Well done!
Amazing video! I would love to see more videos like this. Keep up the great work bro. Much love
FANTASTICALLY detailed video giving a dignified full hour history.
Thank you for sharing the history of halo ce speedruns! Respect to all the speedrunners mentioned for their hard word and dedication
being born the same date as halo 1's release is a blessing because god always gives me new halo content
I got happy seeing this pop up on my feed!

Super good vid Frog, super rad. Love learning about speedrunning history, and CE's history is pretty rad (rip dark ages).
You remind me of Summoning Salt. Like you are speed running a history of speed running of halo. So flippin’ cool.

This is so convenient. Thank you for getting us all up to speed. haha. Great video!
it was worth the wait Froggy!
We had a frog teaching us how to count and spell, we’re all older and now we have a frog teaching us how to speedrun Halo CE.

Great vid! I see the record has been broken again 1:02:47! By Sloth.
After watching this video I got recommended a video uploaded 2 days ago [WR] Halo: CE in 1:03:01 | Legendary Speedrun by SlothSG
