woah hold on what i missed watching monopoli himself play sheeiii-
-
You missed it! It was incredible.
-
Does he stream often? Never seen him not that I watch Halo 2 streams. Also lol at the three deaths in a row
-
twitch.tv/mistermonopoli He's been streaming more often recently to prepare for AGDQ, not sure what it'll be like afterwards.
-
I'll check him out
-
Go to highspeedhalo.net

Indeed, HSH has been updated. There's also been a change of management of sorts.
-
Isn't NOKYARD still in charge?
-

-
Good! This was needed. Although the WR table is still broken.
-
Edited by ZealotSG: 1/8/2014 10:37:24 AMThey haven't replaced the table yet due to issues associated with the docs.
-
Also, thanks for finding that trick in the Great Journey, it saves me a lot of trouble having to kill those Wraith drivers. Luck is a huge factor in that encounter.
-
Hmm. If I had Halo 2 Vista or a DVR I'd actually contribute instead of commentating on the sidelines :(
-
Sounds good! Though Halo 2 Vista isn't quite ideal for speedrunning. Sword flying is a lot harder. You can still have a run without sword flying, but it won't be WR pace. It'd be quite the feat though.

Edited by Quantum: 1/8/2014 10:59:51 AMTrue, but my OG Xbox is on its death bed and Halo 2 lags heavily on my 360. It could be possible to do missions like Metropolis, Great Journey and Cairo Station in a decently fast time, though. I'm not sure whether they have patched superbouncing in Vista, however.
-
Hopefully Halo 2 Anniversary happens. Likewise, Outskirts and Quarantine Zone. I'm not sure either.
-
Edited by Quantum: 1/8/2014 11:19:44 AMHalo 2 Anniversary will probably patch some of the glitches, though. It will probably be based off of Halo 2 Vista, or something similar. If it is announced the very first thing I'll try to do is make it clear that sword flying needs to return. Neogaf is probably the best medium for this, Nokyard already posts there and he could probably ask Frankie on behalf of the entire speedrunning community. I've gotten close to the Outskirts record and the Arbiter record, maybe 1-2 seconds off. I can't get the sword lunge through the window trick to work, even on my PAL Xbox. I have a feeling it will be a 2015 release, if at all.
-
I certainly hope not. Sounds good! Nice! Yeah that one's hard to pull off. I know someone who also has PAL Halo 2 and he hasn't pulled it off yet. Yeah that'd be awesome.
-
Has the Arbiter trick been independently confirmed?
-
Not sure. :/
-
That sound extremely fishy if someone has only ever done it once.
-
I know it's been done on the underwater elevator on Regret, people have lunged through the glass to kill the 3 Jackals faster.
-
That sounds good, but the Regret elevators are broken in a lot of ways :). Someone needs to make a tutorial on this.
