@@mr.dr.kaiser4912 imagine if the marines said something like " he has competitive timing enabled, give the chief your ammo, and don't say any unskippable dialogue that would prevent him from progressing in the mission!" 😂

@@tidee7782 You mean swordflying? First get an energy sword, then a ranged weapon, finally if you get a red reticle on an enemy with the ranged weapon in Halo 2 original, you should be able to with a certain level of frames press switch weapons, and fire into the energy sword, and with enough luck your energy sword lunge will activate and fling you at enemies.
If you’re talking about clipping through walks, that’s only possible in the original release of the game or a modified 30 tick “modern version” of the game.
@@frost7463 If he's talking about bumping into the box to get through the door by getting it into that one specific location after throwing a grenade, that's not possible.
@@idontreallyknow1649 Yeah. The one where you bump a box onto the elevator and throw three plasmas then sword cancel off a sentinel into the room after the hangar.
For the most part that was a clean run though those sniper jackals really did a number on you but nonetheless absolutely terrific run beating PB by a full 4 minutes. Congrats!
Btw something I found out about that elevator to the cable cut section: doing that skip even in H2 Project Cartographer borks the game and causes damage taken not to register. Never woulda figured that tactic and its side effect without this video.
Me and my co-op partner gonna follow every move for LASO. This is just insane and I hope this video reaches the goals you wanted to achieve. You have earn a new sub.💪🏼❤️
Hi Rocats, when you get these new records, can you change the title of the old video instead of unlisting them? I enjoy comparing the different runs. Thanks for the videos!
I actually wonder if Rocats has some amount of WR vids and only posts the ones he likes, or once he starts on a new strat. (Now that hangar skip is out, he uploads this until he gets a time he likes with new strats)
I’ve done this glitch myself, at 26:37, notice how he sends the elevator up, but then calls it back down, as the elevator goes down, he stands underneath it, and it launches him up towards the top part of the map, when doing this, you become invincible for the rest of the level Not only is it faster, but it makes you invincible and safe, which makes this much easier. I did this once on a Co-Op play through so me and my brother wouldn’t get irritated dying a lot, however, if one player does this glitch instead of both players, then the player who performed the glitch is invincible, but the other player isn’t If he does this glitch, then I’m pretty sure that it’s allowed in speedruns, because if it wasn’t allowed, he wouldn’t do it
Ever think about commentating one of your runs? Just got into running H2A the past few weeks and would love some insight from a top mind in the field. Amazing run, btw
@@Those2menoverthere I dont think OP meant ghosting, but the melee fly clip glitch that involves betraying marines. Maybe that one is really inconsistent?
I meant going through a wall. Didn't realize that trick wasn't possible in H2A; I thought rocats pretty much exclusively played H2A (vice H2) and I know I've seen him do it, so I suppose I just assumed it was possible.
Man. I was expecting some godlike skips, and this is the first speedrun of this game I've ever watched... but yeah, all the stuff I discovered as a kid, which at the time I didn't know was just speedrun research, that stops you from skipping certain parts - like in Oracle, where the killbox is a set distance from the elevator level you're on and you have to wait for it, or in various other cases where they properly designed their set pieces and you MUST progress normally.
"How much time did i have before the bomb exploded?" "Actually, you could have flown to Earth, graduated and came back and it still wouldnt have blown up yet with your pace chief" xD

Arbiter sailing into the arena on a Spectre to dunk on Tartarus with triple Johnsons is just too perfect.

I'm impressed when anyone completes this on legendary let alone under an hour and a half. This is mental. The man has sword flying down to a science.

I can only imagine your reactions at some points where you have close calls or things don't go right. Great play through.
57:17 can you explain how you turned blue and then green and stayed green for the rest of the level
I was also wondering this. Does it help him to do that??
@@mt.ziongamers5106 I assume not but since he had to wait I thought he might as Well become green
Just a visual glitch that happens sometimes. Is not benefitial towards time.
Man you beat legendary in as much time as it takes me to get half way through the first level in legendary.
Wow a lot of nostalgia in a speedrun. First halos are still the best games ever for me.
Awesome run. and also lmfao at 48:50 dude was trying to jump scare
"Smiling frog goes faster than ever before in you're favourite video game!"

Never would have guessed a flood's crotch would be the path to victory
24 seconds in and I’m already furious at how good your slide jumps are.
After all of these years, I practically forgot about super bounces and sword canceling glitches. Puts speedrunning on a whole new level.
It's just so beautiful! Brings a tear to the eye. GGs
