This is exactly the kind of commentary I love to see on speedrunning charity streams. Great video quality as well! Sometimes it's really unwatchable on TH-cam channels
"The achievements get a lot of people into speedrunning" Not me watching this because I've been grinding MCC achievements and need to do the sub 3 hour legendary runs and wanna learn some tricks
That Johnson multiplying trick was AMAZING!!! I've been following the Halo 2 speed running community for many years and there's always new tricks comming out or glitches being discovered, it never gets boring.
I remember my "monopolized" achievement run 3 years ago man. Halo 2 was absolutely Painful but it was such an accomplishment and meaningful to me since Halo 2 was originally the first game I've ever played and to this day Halo remained as my fav Franchise :) Your run was incredible!
Goddamn I was looking away for a while and got back at 19:30 and thought for sure the dude next to runner was holding a child and had me questioning if he'd always been holding one.
This is the most difficult/frustrating campaign on legendary imo, especially without knowing these skips. Crazy to watch them being done so easily. Good run!
halo speedruns (all games) are some of hte most technical and impressive in the world. They are just filled with "how tf does anyone even come up with this in a thousand years" moments
Can’t say how crazy it is to see these tricks being pulled off like this. Amazing run! Frankly one of the craziest runs in speed runs. So many spots this run can just die. So many scary places to die. Each enemy is something to think about because each enemy can kill you in a few seconds. There is a lot of spots to chill, but most of the run is high octane combat and movement. He makes it look so easy!! Not to mention Jerv beating this deathless is just wild. I can’t understate enough how that might be the hardest gaming challenge out there and he will probably be the only one to do it in the foreseeable future. (At least until new tech is discovered)
Love how theres one person on camera dead center just slouching like melted ice cream and on their phone, and just to the left is a group just goofing around. Some peoples minds never left the high school classroom
On sacred icon there's also little repair drones that fly around and eventually will open the first piston for you using their little laser as a hint on how to open it. You can also melee them.
I would like to think that it is 100% canon that Tartarus gets his ass kicked by the arbiter, Johnson, a bunch of elites, Johnson, Johnson, and their slightly less competent cousin, Johnson.
indeed. Having the setting set to V-sync ON due to monitor support would make a difference for sure... the game itself runs in accordance with the settings...@@voli6570

Much appreciated!
The freaking Flood riding the Sentinel at 25:37
😂🤣
Before Chief and Arbiter, there was Freddy the Flood and Sonny the Sentinel.
😐
The fact that he saw it and started laughing 😂
Brilliant run man. Shame the crowd weren't very interactive for you
I ooo'd and ahh'd a few times while watching
He had me at "war crimes"...
I remember watching Sorix run Halo 3 at this event years ago. Absolutely one of the best and memorable runs. Happy to see him running Halo 2!
"The achievements get a lot of people into speedrunning"
Not me watching this because I've been grinding MCC achievements and need to do the sub 3 hour legendary runs and wanna learn some tricks
LMFAO literally me too
such a dead crowd. that one guy in the front was on his phone the whole time, why even come to the event??
That was me lol
@@first001bit of a waste then.

Your run was incredible!
Love the commentary on this one man. I don’t know much about Halo 2 and I was able to follow/appreciate the beauty of the run. Great job.
At 1:37, the way the runner cleared that room of covenant was a thing of beauty! Laser focus! 💪💯
Lmao that dude in the front row just sitting on in his phone the whole run 😂 like why even show up
The whole crowd really. It was super odd to see, but that guy and the girl next to him stood out like sore thumbs
Wow that's a dude?
maybe he just came for his friend or something. better than not coming i quess.
@12:28 That Halo theme chorus was EPIC
12:58 The fact that sorix harmonized perfectly was super impressive!
Aahhhhh a classic speedrun like the good ol days
hell yea !!!!!
This was awesome. Currently doing my Halo 2 MCC speedrun achievement.
So true about the barriers. Far too many in the later games 😂
the commentary was legendary
6:05 went crazy lmao
Goddamn I was looking away for a while and got back at 19:30 and thought for sure the dude next to runner was holding a child and had me questioning if he'd always been holding one.
It took me an hour and a half to get through the first level on legendary LOL
12:40 can we talk about that harmony? intentional or not it was gnarly
This is the most difficult/frustrating campaign on legendary imo, especially without knowing these skips. Crazy to watch them being done so easily. Good run!
My all time favorite Halo! Great Run. Great Video.
Love the 4K resolution!! Great bitrate and quality :)))
Glad you like it!
@@ESAMarathonkeep your hyper progressive nonsense pronouns out of speedrunning you politically captured obsequious clowns
Yea hell !!!!!
The way the announcer sang the Halo theme made me think of Saint Nick; he just had to add a warm "Merry Christmas!" at the end to sell that image.
this european audience could not seem more bored 😂
Fish moment was an omen from the speedrunning gods that this run was blessed
One of the coolest speedruns I've ever seen. This game was my childhood

Sorix such as beast!
Lore accurate master chief
They need Jeb Bush on the couch so that he can tell the crowd “plz clap”
Nice save lol 6:05
Sorix doesn’t even need the extra guy on stage
Beating Halo 2 on Legendary is a pain in the ass, mad respect for that run!

I love speed runs. There’s a few games I’d love to speed run during this charity. I just need to finish routing and practice ☹️
ESA can we see a Halo trifecta in the future? :D Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3
This can't be AGDQ they banned fun and jokes. I am glad there is a new marathon for speedruns out there!
I was going to say something like: "Oh it's AGDQ but with less pedophilia" but yeah this is cool.
Halo 2 on leg, was the hardest game I played.
I can’t believe someone actually did a run like this but it’s was a 0 damage
Love how theres one person on camera dead center just slouching like melted ice cream and on their phone, and just to the left is a group just goofing around.
Some peoples minds never left the high school classroom
I wonder if they know that was the real marty that made the sound track that asked them to sing the theme
Amazing game and amazing 4k quality
fun watch, awesome tricks and commentary
Halo 2 legendary… the bane of my existence
Super great commentary!
32:35 what??
On sacred icon there's also little repair drones that fly around and eventually will open the first piston for you using their little laser as a hint on how to open it. You can also melee them.
32:34 a guy has a ministroke
Wow! My dude 🎉🎉🎉
Guy with the glasses next to him said nothing, so strange.
The sniper let him have the wrath😂
I would like to think that it is 100% canon that Tartarus gets his ass kicked by the arbiter, Johnson, a bunch of elites, Johnson, Johnson, and their slightly less competent cousin, Johnson.
Almost as good as Cody Miller!!! 👌😂
no one can beat cody
I read this comment in Frogarchist's voice.
Great run
awesome
Who is the guy in black sitting next to him.
That crowd has no soul
Couldn’t you just keep the sword from outskirts and sword fly through metropolis almost entirely?
LORE ACCURATE MASTER CHIEF
mmm haloruns
Man that crowd was ass! I feel so bad for you man, no hype at all
Horrible crowd... was a great run
whats the point of playing halo on a pc but with a controller?
Nice run, kinda dead crowd though.
halo MCC for summer sell is 10$ get all halo games that are in MCC for cheep!!!!
57:06 jumpscare
oh no, CrImGe
surprised theres not comments from babies claiming this is cheating lol
This guy is meant to be a speed runner but he gets out of his warthog to waste rockets lol
He literally prefaces by saying it's a safety strat.
@@ashleyneku5432get real wasting 2 rockets when you can just drive through is a safety strat, lmao.
how about u speedrun the game instead of complaining on what he does?
@@heyoverherehoh I’ve already done so, chump, lmfao, that’s why I can say what he is doing is wrong.
@@heyoverherehoh not only did he waste two rockets, he didn’t hit anything of value that would have threatened him 🤡
Nice run halo 2 legendary is no joke I can't imagine speedrunning it 😅
Loved the run, One question.... When are you guys going to get a GSYNC capable monitor??? the screen tearing is getting old!! :)
Are you implying changing the monitor would somehow change the quality of the capture itself?
indeed. Having the setting set to V-sync ON due to monitor support would make a difference for sure... the game itself runs in accordance with the settings...@@voli6570
in this video they clearly have it OFF due to input latency. Thus causing the output to tear in accordance with the game's video output settings.
Amazing run. Too bad about the crowd I wish they sang the theme song with you guys lol. Oh well still a good moment lol
1:33:12 Hahahhah 4th johnson
only 7 minutes in and i can tell the crowd kinda sucks
Why’s it seem like no one cares who’s there lol
so nice of his boyfriend to support him by sitting with him
I know right?
We know you're jealous
