The fastest reaction times recorded for human beings is recorded at 101ms. This is when given a signal to click, and does not account for spotting and aiming towards an enemy. The jackal shot you in 83ms (1/60*5)
It's been so long since I've seen anyone play the game legit. And for doing this on legendary, you have my utmost respect. I almost lost my mind when I did this on Legendary for the first time.
WaW Oh ok. Thanks for clearing that up. In my opinion that’s kinda dumb having a problem like that of a minuscule part of a videogame, don’t you agree?
4:21 that right there is a grunt on a mission. He might be scared shitless, and probably knows he will die, but he is 300% committed to putting that turret down on that specific spot.
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.
@@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
How is it any fun playing the game by it rules? This is basically not cheating, and you're playing the game seriously, you should be banned for playing the game the intended way.
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.
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.
Finally someone doing a speedrun properly, none of those tricks to let you skip playing the game how the devs intended. Not a fan of the small slide jumps, should have kept walking normally, they are dangerously close to a glitch.
Nice! Little bit o sword fly at the end there 🧐🤣. Brings to mind another possible category. Kill em all speed run with any glitches. Would be cool to see cross map sword fly kills and all the other insane hijinks and kill methods that could be optimised 😍. Really curious how you felt doing this run. Did you enjoy killing everything more than the normal speedrun? Or do you prefer going as fast as possible?
This is just me doing a regular playthrough, probably world record I assume because nobody has really tried to do a full clear as fast as possible before
@@rocats Someone definitely should though. It would be the most impressive speedrun I could think of. It will always irk me that over half of the reload can be skipped, and you can fly as far as you want with a sword.
I think what's great about these videos, though, is it shows that getting good at legendary is also a viable way of getting Monopolized, for the most part.
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
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).
@@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
Don't worry they're just joking, there are people that comment on my normal speedruns and say "how is this fun when you skip all the enemies" so now everybody is making fun of them by copying them
10:02 is why I started playing on Mythic + a lot of the skulls on all those years ago. Your marines shouldn't be able to take L's like that and its no fun being the only person on the UNSC worth a shit.
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.
The beginning of Gravemind is arguably the hardest beginning of any Halo level ever. What other levels have the potential to kill you in the first half second of the level?
Naked Eli explained once in earlier speedrun standing between those 4 round gravity lifts/pads when Cortana says "hostile reinforcements, coming down the lift" will cause the descending enemies to die in their tracks. The mechanics of this glitch I don't understand and likely never will, I'm just glad it's there for us when we need it.
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.
The halo 2 classic carbine rifle sound is literally porn
Its quite satisfying
@@macdaddy2978 Theybandaba
All the new anniversary sounds, music and graphics are inferior to the classic
The carbine was butchered in Anniversary. Not just the sound, but the big particle effect too makes it feel very different and not half as satisfying.
I always nut when i hear that sound
I watched the video back and the jackal at 13:05 was on my screen for 5 FRAMES before he killed me like wtf dude
get good noob!
I don't know what I enjoy more, watching you play this game or reading your own comment
The fastest reaction times recorded for human beings is recorded at 101ms. This is when given a signal to click, and does not account for spotting and aiming towards an enemy.
The jackal shot you in 83ms (1/60*5)
I wonder if the grunts feel the same way about you killing them so fast🤣

He killied all the enemies because Rocats is a noob and probably knows 0 speed run strats

Halo CE but you have to kill all infinite spawning flood
Halo 2 have the same on quarantine zone or sacred icon

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

ive never hit the like buttom so fast on a video before. you are 100% my favourite speedrunner now
Wow, how bout not dying next time noob
(This is so impressive, thanks for putting these out)
This is has quickly become my favourite channel
I've always wondered what a kill-all-enemies glitchless speedrun would look like! I love this!
but this isn't glitchless or a speedrun
Looking forward to the SLASO Genocide Speedrun
Ok. The sword cancel into the ultras sword made my day
this guy can kill all of the enemies and still complete the mission faster than I can with every despawn and skip
This has got to be absolute slowest speedrun I have ever seen. Have you even tried to go fast before?
If you watch his other videos he’s absolute garbage. I don’t think speed running is for him to be honest
ً He honestly should just stop embarrassing himself and delete all the videos. Trash speed runner. Actually, he’s not even worthy of that title.
I can’t tell if you guys are joking or not. I don’t take jokes well
@@skizy7 oh they're completely joking, it's become a meme to criticize his runs
Speed running in itself is a bit of a joke
I love this, 25 mins for killing everyone is fast
This run is basically: So many energy swords. So. Much. Time.
I'm really glad he put the controller UI up so I know he shoots good
Pretty cool to see this and this is still one of the fastest times considering most people can't beat it at all.
18:52 was just a high IQ brute. look at that ambush
Thank you so much! I used this video as a guide and everything (except from the first part) went smooth
8:39 "GRENADE!" ("Ahh sweet release")
During my solo legendary play through, I probably died at least 20 times in the beginning area in under 5 minutes.

They're just a result of physics really.

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
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

8 year old me: 8:38 “WOW!, that sounds like Ian from Alvin and the chipmunks.”
Shoot I knew who David cross was by then from the scary movies and San andreas. Also the hispanic girl from SWAT.
This was pretty cool! I would have spent 2 hours on this level in Legendary. Most people commenting here are a bit harsh.

@WaW No by all means keep making fun of them I think it's hilarious
Dude, it takes me on my better days at least an hour to beat this fricking level. You are one awesome and savage Halo 2 player, mad respect.
Pretty impressive as always!
This is the way 343 intended us to beat gravemind and it still doesn't beat the 20 min par time. Damn you 343
Watching this you forget he’s on legendary!
not even a speedrun just being really really good at the game
I subscribed and I'm going to view every video
That beginning is cool to watch because I like to imagine that's how Master Chief fights brutes in actual canon
😄😄😄. That was funny. The thing with those Buggers.
5:50 2 jackals spawns behind you but you ignored them :( rest of the run is perfect. 98,7%of accuracy
Don't you just love jackal snipers.
25:23 I think the last guy here ignores you if you leave him be. He’ll rather fight the brutes than MC after the betrayal.
This guy makes halo 2 on legendary so easy...

It’s an interesting concept, I’ll give you that.
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.
11:17 How did you reload/ why didn't the animation show? I know there's a button combination for it but can't remember what it was.
It happens when you shoot twice then press reload at a certain frame, it's the same technique used to double shot the BR
What control figurations you have since it seems you can punch absurdly fast?
What's that input thing in the top left? Is there a mouse and keyboard version?
Nice video. How do you do the flying with the sword glitch. I just can't do it.
"Normie" run
The beginning of Gravemind is arguably the hardest beginning of any Halo level ever. What other levels have the potential to kill you in the first half second of the level?
Wish I figured out that you could jump up to the stands like that at the beginning, super tough room on the ground.
Really, people have been doing it in runs during the "pre sword fly" days in MCC around the time it was released.
You should do a no deaths run, specially for Outskirts/Delta, i bet Hokiebird and Act Man will be thrilled.
Isn't that basically just an IL?
At 10:08, you can see bodies falling from the lift, what causes this?
Naked Eli explained once in earlier speedrun standing between those 4 round gravity lifts/pads when Cortana says "hostile reinforcements, coming down the lift" will cause the descending enemies to die in their tracks.
The mechanics of this glitch I don't understand and likely never will, I'm just glad it's there for us when we need it.
What are your controller settings ?
Bumper jumper, 4 sens, that's basically it I've never changed any of the other settings
Why is only a small part of Blow Me Away laying on loop? Did Microsoft lose the rights to it or something?
Need a speed run where you do this
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.
Little bro: Why can't you beat the level like that
Me in an ominous voice: Were it so easy
If you played Halo 2 on PC, You'd find the ROF of the carbine is actually MUCH higher, like a low RPM Assault rifle.
This is on PC MCC, the carbine only fires faster on h2 vista
