Halo CE but you have to kill all infinite spawning flood

[@theyrbaning4751]

Halo 2 have the same on quarantine zone or sacred icon

[@TheJayson8899]

I only recall two times in the entire campaign where I’m sure flood infinitely respawn, or might as well infinitely resoawn because there’s so many. The vast majority of time they stop pretty soon. I think this is part of why people hate the flood so much, they assume they’re infinitely respawning a lot of the time when the vast majority of the time that’s not true, so rushing past them will just get you killed.

[@Zonda1996]

You can break the infinite spawns with enough ammo/grenades. At least in CE.

[@Dave_Chrome]

@@TheJayson8899 Keyes is definitely one of those levels lol

[@tTaseric]

@@TheJayson8899 There's a bug(?) where re-entering the load zone will just respawn the Flood. The Library is the most obvious example because it places these load zones right in the middle of corridors and chokepoints and spawns like a dozen flood each time so naturally moving back and forth causes the issue to be really bad

1. I'm really liking your runs/channel. This is a pretty solid time. I'll have to give it a go. I'm curious if sub 20 is possible with no deaths. 2. You skipped 2 jackals at 5:30 and a grunt at 18:15. Accidentally triggering the prison lift kill I think is forgivable since you immediately went up to stop it. ha. 3. Brain fart at 12:20 was funny. 4. Jackal at 13:05 and lack of checkpoint. Dude, I felt that from here. Rough. Way to hardly hesitate and soldier on. 5. 200 IQ 3 second time save at 17:25 6. 23:41 and... the title lies. ha. Habit I guess.

[@DragonSoulMusic]

Hey rocats, I have an idea. A fun MCC speedrun challenge might be a "par score par time" speedrun, where you try to beat the par score and then finish the level as quick as possible. Would be interesting to play around with different skull combos to try and make the most of each engagement, and see which speedrun strats are still viable. For instance, would the gravemind elevator skip bypass too many enemies to get par score? Idk, I think it could make for an interesting speedrun category as there would be a balance of enemy engagement and speedrun tricks.

[@jairguillen4095]

Took me like 4 hours to complete this mission and you completed it in 25 mins without dying thats awesome

Nice! Little bit o sword fly at the end there 🧐🤣. Brings to mind another possible category. Kill em all speed run with any glitches.

Did you enjoy killing everything more than the normal speedrun? Or do you prefer going as fast as possible?

[@streetfighter351]

This proves how stupid 343 was making the par time of 20 minutes when the best legendary player in the world takes 25 minutes playing the mission as intended. Wtf were they thinking

[@zombieoverlord5173]

They meant for it to be played on any difficulty not just legendary, and Rocats is a very skilled player but i wouldn't say best in the world

[@streetfighter351]

Zombie Overlord He might or might not be the best (Ranabundana exists, up for debate) but he is a top tier player, no debate on that. And the par time of 20 minutes is stupid but also trying to beat Halo 2 in less than 3 hours by playing the game as intended is pretty dumb. I mean it’s not hard when you take all the skips and time saves into consideration but it’s probably not humanly possible playing the entire game like how he is in this video, which is the way the game is “intended” to be played (obviously enemies aren’t supposed to be flown past using button combos or skips, I’m sure those weren’t intentional).

[@zombieoverlord5173]

@@streetfighter351 The under 3 hours isn't supposed to be done while killing every enemy though, it's meant to be a speedrun, so your argument makes no sense

[@MrMercuryW]

You know rocats this is reminiscent of Bungie's Marathon Vidmaster Challenges, Total Carnage, All enemies dead, as fast as possible while killing everyone. Maybe you could add similar stylish optional rules to your runs, such as no damage taken, zero shot, and grabbing all secret items in levels such as skulls and dolls while achieving par time and par score.

[@copper4eva]

I wish Halo kept track of kills in terms of percentage (and didn't have occasional infinite enemy spawning) so that we could have 100% kill speedruns. But what are you gonna do I guess.

[@ferekill9377]

Another idea you can only have either covenant weapons or only unsc weapon
