The Complete History of Halo CE Speedrunning

Great video, real trip down the memory lane... makes me want to play more again. Also Cody Miller.... what a legend

Still insane how Garish held the WR for almost 7 years

You weren’t kidding when you said this was your best video. Another Frog Banger

Garish remains my CE speedrun GOD

Dude. The amount of info you packed into this is absurd. An absolute masterclass in research and presenting supporting visuals. I'm amazed by the effort and expertise shown here.

I still maintain that it was a de-rust run. It just happened to be a very good derust run. Awesome video

Nice Complete History of Halo CE Speedrunning video

I used to speedrun CE Legendary like 10 years ago. The highest I got was #6 on the FG haloruns leaderboard and the time was like 1:51:xx or something. I was never any good but goatrope called me "rookie of the year" which is one of my proudest gaming accomplishments LOL Insane that times are getting close to being south of an hour. I still go back and do the old routes on CE for fun sometimes. Such a satisfying game.

Something I wanna compliment that I don't see many people focus on is the audio mixing, perfect audio balance between music and narration (as well as good mic quality) does so much to boost a video's apparent quality and I feel like it gets taken for granted until someone does it really badly, so great job on that front as well

Fantastic work Frog, noticed you uploaded this on CE’s 22nd birthday, the thought and effort you put into your videos truly is legendary

This, this is The love halo speedrunning deserves. Summoning Salts Halo 2 video was a massive disappoint to me since he only talked about the mcc release which skipped looking into literally every glitch and optimization that was found since the original xbox release.

Thank you for including the very first speedrun competition in your video. I remember buying a special video card that could record input from the xbox just for this competition. It was a surprise to see this and remind myself of those perfect days playing Halo all day after school. There was nothing impressive in my run compared to modern attempts, but I was a kid who had played that level so much in prep for the contest that my body started shaking during the parts I knew could destroy a run. You actually had nice things to say about my video, I was worried you'd tear it apart. Thank you :)

As someone who speedruns CE (not competitively) I really enjoyed this video. The history of how and when the tricks were discovered was unknown to me. Thank you to Burnt and others that helped create the awesome strategies used today!

Great video man. This is exactly what I was hoping for. I can’t thank you enough for all the time and effort you put into making this.

It's so interesting to watch the video quality slowly get better and better. Literally watching technology evolve over 22 years.

Dude I never comment on YouTube but the level of production you put into making this video is master class. Thank you for this amazing Halo content, so looking forward to more of your work!

Really enjoyed this vid! My only criticism was in when you were describing updated times for old records, it was basically impossible to remember what the old record was, so I had no idea how much of an improvement had been made. Having the old time and date next to the new number would be useful, or even some kind of split as to how much time exactly was saved.

I remember Garish was constantly getting the WR for Halo, his runs were my favorites. I miss seeing him play the game. He also speedruns Oblivion. My two favorite games. lol

This is one, if not the, best breakdowns of the speedrunning history of a singular video game.

I’d love to see more videos like this on the history of other halo game speed runs. Hope this video does well
