i CANNOT believe that you said that about me!!! i am NOT a tsavo runner!! i run so many other levels!!!! just because i spent a month or three playing that dumb ass level doesnt mean i should be labelled as such!!

[@DABLL_DO_YA]

Cope

[@inedthedead2994]

You say that yet one fifth of your videos are dedicated to Tsavo Highway.

[@Rocco049]

I dunno… That sounds an awful lot like something a Tsavo runner would say…

[@IMFERMO.]

Hey, its the tsavo highway dude

[@fromthegrave69]

Bro talked my ear off about Tsavo for the first three months I knew him and says he’s not a Tsavo runner ICANT

[@_Dandy_S]

Frog is quitting CE to be a full time Cortana Speedrunner.

[@ThatOdd1out]

Ayyooooo

[@mikepalmieri4989]

I'll sub to that lol who wouldn't?

[@MintBlitz]

This video was a golden frog out 10

“Rip bozo. I keep what I steal…” had me dying 😂😂😂😂

[@TheMcK777]

The play-by-play at the end of the Covenant was a gut-buster; had me laughing afterward for like a minute

[@ThelncomeTaxes]

Tank strats on ark are based, covie tank strats also based. If only this frog wasnt a tortoise.

[@yolsil775]

2:30 It's still wild to me that there's a lot of people who don't know about this trick with the cover.

[@TooBusyToBeGood]

Frog learned how to Mint Blitz all over the place Edit: Really enjoyed this one great work

[@thewayfarer8849]

That hammer jump was brilliant, I love Halo 3 gravity hammers since childhood but great stuff, really enjoy this channel

[@hangingardens9749]

13:54 I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aleins doesn't afraid of anything

[@HelpIdkAGoodUser301]

I remember doing this achievement a while ago with my 3 other friends, we were up until 4am on this (in my time zone anyway) and I’d do it again. It wasn’t stressful or anything, just pure fun while we were joking around and we got it first try.

[@Weesee_I]

Getting it in multiplayer is also easier just due to the fact you can have 3 players attempt to run past everything and one hang back to spawn their buddies. Even if you don't and just run in all together, 4 players is 3 extra players worth of firepower and running

[@qynfromcanada]

"Let's hop in"... ...I LIVE for these puns

[@reyhan0447]

Guys, Im starting to think he's a frog

[@fromthegrave69]

There is so much Halo content out there, yet the best of it continues to be created by a Frog. Great job; another excellent video.

[@saltierdongs7760]

Floodgate is so fun to run through, idk anything about the speedrunning tricks but I can usually get it in 6 ish minutes now

[@anakinraliere5637]

"oh sweet baby jesus" you are making me die of laughter man, i cannot

[@darthkillhoon]

On the Ark I love wedging a chopper into the building at the latter half of the mission. Always fun just running over the Brute Chieftain with a Chopper

[@BeeDaWorker]

The part of learning cortana speedrunning just so u dont have to suffer in that level anymore is SO TRUE Halo 3 is great overall but omg i should prob learn the real route for that level too

[@levi22es]

Yeah once I learned the Cortana speed run routes, it’s much, much more tolerable. Still sucks cuz of the Gravemind/cortana talking parts, but it makes the level a lot better.

[@bionicca]

Werrd to that. Waaay back in '08, I decided out of nowhere to do a solo legendary full game walkthrough, killing every single enemy & 100% clearing every section, before moving on Aand iirc, the game didn't even differentiate between doing it co-op, or solo back then I was soo fully stoked to see mcc show it, when I 1st signed in

[@bionicca]

Oh yeah, btw...my best trick for doing cortana the completenist way, was to go into the little side tunnels (or any area you can make into a tight corner with side cover) & block 1 end/side with a deployable cover Aand just work from the open end

[@Austism_]

Love that the AA wraith is actually completely useless against banshees.

[@naverilllang]

They're useless against your hornet too unless you're stupid enough to hold perfectly still for like 10 seconds while the fuel rods slowly meander in your general direction.

[@bionicca]

Haha, yup...but I was doing the aa wraith glitch since damn near day 1, and never had an issue with banshees like that It was quite a surprise to see, tbh

[@redips8947]

TheIncome Taxes invited you.

[@WarriorHunterb]

Amazing video. Loved that you mentioned Fatrat. I wonder where he’s been.

[@cowboycooldude]

Awesome run. Keep doing different speedruns, it'll broaden your perspective and keep your mind fresh👍👍

[@saf1218]

FINALLY ANOTHER CHALLENGE VIDEO, Bro pls do more of these it’s so entertaining watching this while eating.

[@kevinscott3047]

I dont speed run at all, but I'm definitely adopting some of these tricks. Especially for Tsavo highway. I die way too easily in the vehicle segments. Even on Heroic

[@thunderbird7020]

Statistically speaking. There’s probably someone out there who lost the achievement by only a minute or two. Meaning they would have gotten it if not for Cortana and the Gravemind blocking them whenever they talk

[@jadenthebair]

I grew up on Halo 3. I have never tried speed running it, and I haven't even tried it on legendary (yet). It is SO COOL to me to see tricks I never knew about in a game that I've been playing for YEARS. Thanks Frog, I love your content

[@republic9299]

On The Ark, I gave my sniper to one of the marines and he absolutely cleaned up, especially against choppers and ghosts.

[@Chaosfrenzy]

I knew it from the post This frog is a god among other frogs 🐸 The ark cutscene tho 😂 And that spin in the warthog run was clean even tho you didn’t mean to do it Keep up the great work as well mr frog with a human suit

[@gucci1131]

I never knew you could jump in the river in Sierra 117 and i played halo 3 so much on release and the years after

[@Rang89]

Had me cackling throughout! Great vid Frog!

[@FootedGhost]

Peak Halo content bro, just saying 👌

[@Leevalee]

these under seem pretty hard, then i remember me and my friend finished ODST under 3 hours on legendary with it being her first time playing it

[@frogarchist]

that one is extremely easy, yeah. every ODST level before Data Hive is pretty short, and it doesn't even count your time on Mombasa Streets.

[@mrcheapskate750]

Hops in an *anti air* wraith Dies to banshee

[@tuscan9617]

I just watched a reptile play Halo 3, funniest shit I ever saw.

[@hoppeanhelicoptertours]

In this video Frog promotes drinking and driving… what is bro doing!?

[@NexusSomnia]

"Child of my enemy why have you come" Bro d'you SEE who you kidnapped??

[@brandonhalfen1375]

“The calm before the storm is the next level” is top tier writing man 😂

[@BlastingBigLoads2]

"Who wants to hear Miranda keys blabber" 🖐😢

[@JordanKohler-nq8qp]

Not all her lines are bad, so I get that. She’s cooler in halo 2 tho

[@Scratchy101wasd]

Halo 3 was Halo in its prime! Prove me wrong. Btw good job!

[@prongs8488]

On Crow's Nest after you hammer-jump the water over to the elevator, if you haul ass off the elevator you can jump onto the Pelican, then jump off onto the roof of the upper area. Then you can grenade-dump onto the brutes up there as soon as they spawn, makes it much easier

[@pleuraYT]

every par time video you make you somehow beat my times taking a casual route while im sweating my ass off doing skips lmao

[@Snowfreak357]

Man the first time I ever beat legendary was tough. My best was like 45 min and the Cortana level took me 2 hours 😅. Speed running is so cool. I could never do it but you guys are always amazing to watch!

[@iamthemilkgod]

What I do at the last section of floodgate is run on the right side and ignore everyone. I jump down when I pass the battle rifle on the ground and go up the ramp seen at 8:22, then use a regenerator once I pass the cube box and then run past the last group of enemies. The final group of pure forms at the foot of the ramp made from ship debris can be a hassle occasionally but I keep a hammer with me to kill them easily if I have to. At the start of the mission, when you first turn left and find a dead brute, one spawns between the two yellow things. Overall it is a very easy, safe, and effective strategy I also like to skip the group of enemies under the turret at 8:59 by jumping up some rocks right next to it's left leg

[@thebattleweaver]

been waiting for this to drop.

[@beaglator]

Just so you know at 11:54 you can change it from the awful MCC control scheme back to the original Halo 3 control scheme by switching the “Hornet Control” setting in the Halo 3 controls from “Button” to “Thumbstick”. Hard agree that the change to the A button is stupid because it means you can’t aim your guns while ascending anymore. Hope this helps :)

[@silver4114]

I did this achievement awhile back and it was a ton of fun. Had no idea about the mongoose scarab skip on The Storm, I always did the grav lift jump onto it.

[@originalvenom1972]

Never in my LIFE did I think Chief would go under water.

[@HyperShadow991]

only achievement like this i have actually gotten is odst, me and my 3 other mates SOMEHOW doing literally a casual run on legendary we did it under 3 hours i was so shocked. also a fun fact about me and tsavo highway i got the par time achievement while me and my buddy were ON FOOT THE ENTIRE MISSION

[@sourbrdn18]

Hey I just did this a month ago, not bad times, crushed me on the first 2 levels, but I finished overall in 2 hrs 19 min. Like your content keep it up

[@vulpinitemplar5036]

Gravemind was like "I can't monologue at him if you kill him!"

[@Klogeist]

I cant believe this. I legit watched that dog with a stick video twenty minutes ago because the algorithm recommended it to me.

[@MasterOfThe_Beef]

I love how inside the halo 3 community, whenever the words sniper and no scope get brought up, people always reference fatrat.

[@gmanplaysgames256]

playing the Storm on Legendary I died just as many times in the rocket mongoose section to my own marines as I did to the covies.

[@friendlyreaper9012]

They just love shooting the ground in front of them. But as soon as they have a clear shot they refuse to shoot. Love to see it.

[@sketchpqge]

The Halo 3 Jackals on Sierra and Tsavo would like to know your location.

[@ryantheminer1]

Frog has become one of my favorite Halo KZbinrs, mainly because he does things other then bitch about the games 24/7

[@novakrabby]

6:28 This frog doesnt go "ribbit" he just screams 🐸

[@ganymedeanoutlaw]

He did croak tho

[@levi22es]

GO AWAY CORTANA!

[@hakanflodin4555]

Me and my brother got this achievement in co-op by literally steamrolling every enemy. No speedrunning tricks needed. God I love Halo couch co-op

[@Bana_Frog]

Wait, like a minute in, it's been 17 years and I didn't know you could go in the water??? This must be frog power at it's highest level.

[@colbytabor4069]

Giving a marine that spartan laser is crucial on the covenant mission makes the mission so much easier I carried that laser until the end of the level

[@lorenzocarrari8636]

Holy moly i remember playing this game thanks to the floodgate level which i loved a lot 😂 how much levels with the floods are there or in other halo games that are good??

[@Spectrefoxxiii]

I'm shocked you didn't just do the fuel rod jump on Halo instead of the grenade+hammer one. As long as you run a straight line there, its consistent and safe!

[@lordpeckle6714]

If you spam the fire button with the chopper you can fire much more rapidly fyi, awesome video as expected though dude 👍

[@reminiscentiaoff4669]

I don't remember ever being able to go up with the Horney by just looking up actually. Which is bizarre because I played Halo 3 an insane amount as a child. Could it be the binds on mcc are making it weird? (I may be stupid)

[@ImEmpathyTV]

I recently did all MCC titles in under 3 hours, and Halo 3 was brutal

[@Wizzkidwas]

11:55 You can actually change a setting in MCC to restore the classic flight controls

[@FrostyFrostySnow]

Frog Goes Fast 3: Leave Me Alone Cortana

[@kellytrieu5074]

It's DEVASTATING that you MONOPOLIZED with a GOAT ROPED frogarchist 🤣🤣

[@Sentient6ix]

I legit learned the speedrun strat for cortana specifically so i could beat the game on legendary. I only speedrun that level now

[@Darththorn]

I womped. 😍

[@lifeofsam8472]

this is just a speed run of nostalgia of halo 3 campaign for me haha

[@jadenthebair]

Good to see Frog expanding his horizons in speed running 🥹🥹

[@megamuffin15]

That Crow's Nest hammer launch haunts my nightmares

[@NoImNotJonsAltWhatDoYouMean]

Tfw your first time casual run of Cortana is literally 17 seconds slower than Frog's

[@thejjolli]

"I'd be scared of a talking frog, too." But you are a talking frog. You should not be afraid of yourself.

[@Hungry_shark904]

frogarchist is the 🐐

[@wacopaco2099]

As a halo 3 runner, you’re right! I was cringing!

[@soundlesspeal]

damn, a frog is faster in halo 3 than i am. except cortana, i have a 10:28 on cortana :)

[@dylancornish4945]

You should do a video of Halo 3 legendary with no avoidable marine deaths!

[@meltedicet777]

Babe wake up, the Frog posted halo videos again

[@mikegaruda4270]

The Ark is perfect

[@Lenzelot501]

I knew it would be this video!

[@redfinite27]

Funne frog gameplay

[@Jclarkis]

12:39 on s117 😭😭

[@nenthal1761]

Might be stupid, but on the covenant, wouldn’t it be quicker to take out the scarabs by blowing off the back piece and immediately shoot the core? Rather than shooting out the legs, boarding, then destroying the core

[@Seanroc2]

I feel seen with the anteater reference

[@benc77]

If I’m ever gonna go for a speedrun achievement it’ll be halo 3

[@mckecJam]

4:00 is my favorite part of the video

[@ultragjl1976]

me too

[@shatteredakuma]

3:57 that came out RIGHT

[@alejandroalf729]

9:05 rockets and Among Us.

[@Enginner751]

I am still waiting for a Halo 3 ODST video

[@c0rnflak3s92]

Random question. Rank the Armor customization in Halo games? Please?

[@johnhrinko9855]

“Why have I WHAT?!” 😂😂

[@Quipen248]

Now do it for Halo 4 :D

[@TheHTFAmv]

8:50 FatRat supremacy lets gooo

[@AIBETTSYIA75]

You can shoot through deployable shields?! How did I play this game for 100s of days and not know this

[@lazykb]

Wow this is a crazy Halo CE mod. What color frog do you rate it?

[@frogarchist]

Magenta

[@floopygoober]

Grab a drink and lets go fot a drive. Alright 🐸

[@carsonwheat546]

So I beat halo CE on legendary a long time ago, but never h2, or h3. I get impatient and I suck. Perhaps some of the skips and tricks would help me. Where do I learn these tricks
