The energy sword is one of the greatest weapons in gaming. Iconic, even going up against other laser swords. Fun to use. And an amazing mobility tool. Has all the makings you need for a legendary symbol in gaming.
@@nathanharrison2 what? that has literally never been a rule, if you get the fastest time you get the fastest time go to haloruns and you'll see that most legendary runs have reverts because legendary is inconsistent and random
Just a question, couldn’t you complete it faster by using the sniper to sword fly from the last gondola segment instead of the rocket launcher? I know it’s just a small thing but hey maybe a new record lol

Most unexpected place to see a revert with this level. But this was amazing nonetheless. I'm actually most impressed by the fact that you didn't fire rockets at the end of the temple fly. Ballsy as hell though the Ultra elite being htere is nice as well.
@Alex Figured that was it, thanks man. Does this work in the older halos regardless of any skulls on? I only recently started watching the speedruns again
Bruh i got frustrated with the gondola part bc i was trying to despawn the enemies and i just started to jump like a r*tard all around the gondola then by the time the gondola you are supposed to ride got close, it spawn all the enemies that should be on the gondola i was standing and it started to move foward even if i didn't kill the enemies... (Also when i was jumping it triggered the Miranda dialog of sending you a pelican with guns). Could you verify this? It is rather odd. Of course i was doing the traditional despawning trick. Which i wouldn't recomend but no way in hell am i getting those crazy sword flights you do.
are you playing on xbox or pc? I have the MCC on pc and when i turn on new graphics on this level at the gondolas in the beginning my frame rate drops below master chief's ability to resist jackal sniper shots. And i have an RTX 2060. Same for anyone else?
