High Speed Halo

Wow. I knew I’d get a Normal run to go with my Easy run at some point, but I didn’t expect it to be the next day. On my first try of the night, I dropped 23 seconds from my previous record, matching my Easy time of 10:02. The first half of the run actually goes quicker in this version, offset by what seemed to be a little more waiting between waves in the Glacier fight (I’m not entirely clear on the triggers). Like the Easy run, this can definitely go under 10. I also forgot to thank Dark Devastation in the last run for revealing the use of the Revenant in “taking out those guns”.

Being inspired by RC Master, I too wanted to work on runs. Seeing as Halo Reach is my favorite Halo gameplay wise, I decided to do my runs there. I quickly learned that there is a lot of trial and error. I tried each difficulty, groaning more and more at the ridiculous deaths and mistakes I made. Well, I finally was able to perform a perfect speed run of The Package on Normal!

The tricky part is the first section. Watching RC Master’s incredibly lucky run at the first part, I took it into account, taking out the heavy duty grunts as I know they would cause me trouble. I then jacked a ghost and zoomed for a Revenant for more firepower. I also grabbed a plasma pistol as I would use it for later. I destroyed the tyrant guns in 1:39 seconds.

Once again, I quickly made it to the door, hijacked the other revenant and instead of costing vehicle damage, I headshotted the gunners in reasonable efficiency.

The next portion was the hardest, barrelling my way through needles, doing a 50 meter dash past the elites and making it through the door. The other half of the level is me jacking a Banshee and blitzkrieging wave after wave. Hope you guys enjoy my first run as there will be more to come!
