I rewatch this run often. Goatrope's commentary is amazing, the couch is great. I am a bit sad they don't continue the GDQ tradition of lowering the diff twice, but it's still a great run.

🤣

"this is the hardest room in the game. Hum, 2 health ? Not optimal" Proceeds to clear the room and never even drop to half shields.

[@REAL_Infamous]

Love this run. Combination of iconic game that I grew up with and played religiously, and Goatrope's expert commentary. Never a dull moment.

[@momchilandonov]

Except they didn't explained the double melee attack in the beginning! :( Also I think the runner forgot to pronounce one tricky phrase for 15 additional $. No one reminded him to do it.

[@TheMilkomania]

This is one of the best commentaries I've seen on GDQ

[@TenjinZekken]

This and TomatoAnus' Fallout Anthology runs I come back to often. Even if they aren't perfect runs, and they aren't even up to date anymore, (this one especially), I love the commentary and the tricks are still sick.

[@klavier285]

I love the blood and gore in Halo CE. Seems like every subsequent game has less and less with the later ones having virtually none.

[@miruharabae]

You can even lag the game if you melee/shoot the bodies enough.

[@t.j.2908]

redemption for halo! good stuff.

[@mackenzierailfan]

Great run. Never gets old.

[@RobertGriffith9]

The reason vehicles spawn without pilots on AotCR is that vehicle placements are part of the map file itself while actor spawns are scripted. The bridge fall skips some triggers so all the scripts to spawn allies, enemies, play music etc. break, whereas the vehicle spawns are part of loading the map areas similar to scenery objects like trees and rocks and still work when scripts are broken.

[@TenjinZekken]

The question I think they were asking is why does it work that way. I'm sure the R&D guys understand what they can literally see in front of them, but I think the question is why spawn in anything at all like that. Why not have actors spawned in with the map but with no AI like in Keyes? Why not spawn the vehicles as needed in the first place? It's just inconsistent with the rest of their other assets.

[@Mediocre_Gaming1917]

@@TenjinZekken I think spawning units directly into ground vehicles can be tricky, even the wraiths have an elite spawn next to it and then get inside it.

"The only thing worst than jackles are jackles with sniper rifles". The only thing worst than jackles with sniper rifles are flood with rocket launchers

[@thefallengallery6459]

I never thought of this, but you're right. They are ruthless with those rockets.

[@oaktree2406]

Worse then flood with rocket launchers 343 with a whole Halo

[@Car_D_Board]

A true classic.
Hello to the folks watching this in 2046!!

[@xtreme843]

32:42 just to correct what goatrope said the marine you kill isn’t random. It is aALWAYS the marine in front of the wraith

[@adrianoadriano7772]

maybe it was random like 9 years ago??

[@awsman11]

its nice to see my childhood game get shat on.

[@TheNejD]

I'm pretty sure the way check points work in halo is that they are not supposed to happen while your in combat or the air so they have somewhere on the ground to spawn you on shooting and meleeing flags you as in combat so you can't checkpoint and I'm pretty sure there is basically a disk shaped zone around you that the game checks if there is enemies flagged for combat within probably happening every 5 or 10 seconds. There are also places where the game will auto checkpoint along an invisible barrier and there are obviously times when this breaks down but I'm almost certain that is how it works.

"Gearbox is cool" bet that opinion has changed >.>

Why?

[@wolfkermek]

@@ketogenicespirita9182 Halo's pc port was complete garbage.

[@NiceGuyFYI]

@@wolfkermek You realize that's what he's playing right here, correct?

[@RobertGriffith9]

@@wolfkermek It wasn't that bad. Sure, not 100% identical, but at least it ran well unlike the halo 2 port's awful optimisation and performance issues.

[@RegularGuyJake]

One of my favorite runs

[@custersword7746]

Let's do this!

[@resudue3459]

This is actually how you get the golden warthog in halo 2

[@bob3daman]

Woah! Those jackles only have one shield variant! Lucky you

[@Determ1nat1on]

That's a Gearbox bug. Which actually makes it harder to recognize which Jackals are Minors & which are Majors

Why is there a massive viewspike at 33:41
