oo dont mind if i do

Subbing to all of them. Thank you for making a video covering one of the best games ever made.

oo dont mind if i do

awesome! I love seeing games from the 2010s

@summoning salt - haven't watched this all yet but I'm hoping you include Rana in this...

The developers recognizing and even validating the speedrunning community of their game is just incredible.

and then 343i goes and patches speedrunning exploits from infinites campaign, really goes to show the dichotomy between the mindsets Halo era Bungie and 343i. Bungie wanted their games to be fun first and foremost. 343i wants their games to be taken seriously.

Not even once but twice!

@Fizzie Webb you know it was 343i who unpatched swordfly and fixed the physics to be closer to Halo 2, right? Bungie hasn't worked on a Halo game since Reach, and that includes the MCC versions of games. Infinite has definitely been mishandled by contrast but don't let being mad about Infinite cause you to get your information wrong.

@Ragnell Avalon VTuber If that's the case, then that's the first I've heard of it.

@Fizzie Webb there are two different teams working on halo Bonnie Ross was leading Infinite while Pierre Hintze was leading the MCC team (the one who patched Speedrun glitches back) I'm sure you can see which team is the one that cares. Thank Gods Pierre is leading Infinite now and I'm hopeful for the future.

This channel is hugely important in the documentation and memory of old media. In a world where everything is moving forward at such fast speeds that it's impossible to keep up, channels like Summoning Salt shed light on groups of dedicated and talented individuals who continue to run decade(s)-old games for nothing but the love of it, getting that dream time. Every video has a storyline that is emotionally engaging and so personal, and having the interviews with those runners only heightens that. It's presented in such a way where you cant help but grin and cheer them on. ❤

Nah

This is a beautiful comment.

With how messed up the world has become these videos will probably be one of the few bright spots.

shutup

24:10 my cousin learned to do this when we were kids. He destroyed us in LAN games (and we never updated the game, we didn’t know it was a glitch) So whenever he got a sword we were either dead or we’d have to all focus on killing him. None of us knew how he was doing it, either. Thank you for solving a childhood mystery for us

Thats so fucking cool

W

That mentorship between Cryphon and Zoo is beautiful. Sometimes seeing someone else achieve their goals, achieve their dreams, can be even sweeter than achieving your own.

Good that and I mean this genuinely. How would watching somebody stand on your shoulders feel better than personal achievement? Maybe I'm too competitive.

​@tonyjohnson3717 In the same way that parents want to give their children a better life then they had..

@Tony johnsonlike zoo said himself, the student surpassed the teacher, which is ultimately every teachers goal

God I don't know what I love more: the fact that 343 recognized/honored the speedrun community and even made the changes to Anniversary to bring the speedrunners back into the game or the way that Cryphon supported Zoo throughout his runs. It just all warms my heart, you love to see it so much.

Big fan of Cryphon's empathy/sympathy and cheering for and coaching of his speedrunner adversaries to keep at it for the glory. We should all aspire to this attitude.

My brain explodes when I think about how many hours of gameplay footage SummoningSalt has to go through when making these videos

My brain also explodes when I think about how long it takes you to set up those dominos! Love your videos.

autism is what fuels every aspect of speedrunning even its coverage

​@J.the fact that this is true makes me giggle a little icl

@J. No

dude has a lot of passion for speedrunning!!

I only understand half the split names but they're hilarious

Holy....I just realized Salt has almost 1.6 Million subs. For a channel that seems so specific....the ability to turn these videos into epic journey is second to none.

He's the only person who could make an hour long video about someone trying to set the course record on Moo Moo Farm and still keep the attentions of the audience the entire time. It's a masterclass in video making.

It's a combination of multiple factors i guess. Deep technical understanding, a good narrating voice, street cred as a runner himself, an amazing music selection and he keeps the viewer interested. There are few other channels that come close

A huge draw to this channel to me is honestly how you can never predict what game is going to be covered next. The unpredictability is quite fun.

Only 34 deaths on Gravemind? That's a smooth Legendary run if I've ever seen one.

Yeah dude when I was getting the Monopolized achievement, it took me 34 minutes to beat the level, and I probably died 70 times (most of which were in the prison)\

@PWBS312 Exactly lmao you get it

Never change the music in your videos, they give them this feel that I almost can’t explain but it’s just so comforting to watch. One of the best channels on this website, appreciate your videos man.

Re-adding classic Halo 2 glitches to the Anniversary edition was such a baller move. Total respect for that.

Yeah as someone who knows nothing about halo, they have gained a lot of respect from me for that

ok

ok

ok

ok

This, Quake and Half Life are all games I always dreamed of you covering. I'm so happy you got to cover this broken gem.

Salt's done Half Life 2, but it'd be nice to either get an updated version or a record history of Half Life 1

I love that these videos are more then just about strats, it’s about people, and rivals, and nerves, and dedication. Watching a man overcome such heart wrenching disappointment and his end game nerves to succeed is what makes these storys so worth telling

I love exploring out of bounds on halo 2, it feels so surreal. Wish newer games didn't have so many invisible walls and death barriers.

I remember watching a speedrun of this game years ago that finished around 3 hours and being impressed. These madlads got it down to 1h20m. Just insane.

i’ve never heard of devs adding glitches back into a game. that just shows how much they care about the speedrunning community and i think that’s awesome.

Did not expect halo to be covered by the legend

About time. I was sick of the Nintendo content.

A surprise for sure, but a welcome one

@WillTheProdigy Nintendo speed running has the biggest audience by far, so it makes sense for him to make so much of it.

Well, with a game as broken as Halo 2, it should definetly be up there with the insane strats

@WillTheProdigy I’m ready for some horror game ones and some shooter ones like metal gear and stuff

As a runner with a few ILs and a 2:13:06 pre-aug 2018 and armory cut, I'm thrilled to see this. Halo 2 has such an awesome story, I never thought I would see it here. It's a very hard story to tell; there's patches, rule changes, 2 different versions with their own leaderboards, and it's own speed running website. I can only imagine what it was like to cut together a script, you did it justice.

Hearing from the runners themselves throughout the video was an amazing touch they seem like really nice genuine determined guys

You're a legend SummoningSalt. Thank you for your videos, and know there are many like me that are always absolutely thrilled whenever a new one comes out. It's like we're back in the early 90's and the next episode of our favorite show just came on!

Crazy, I used to use some of these tricks to just break the game for fun Back then we were all obsessed with solving the mystery of the skulls and that floating switch on the gondola Good times man, good times

Halo is such an overlooked game in the speedrun community, so glad that a major member of the speedrun community finally made a video that gives the game the attention it deserves.

Everyone needs a friend like Cryphon. Helps Zoo get good and then not only celebrates when he's overtaken by his friend, but encourages him to keep going until the sub 1:20. What a lad.

Right? I was almost weeping tears of joy listening to him talk about him! So awesome!

W

love this also :) it's so easy to burn out without it, talent and passion turning into obsession and frustration. at a certain threshold of skill, there just aren't as many people with directly relatable experiences, and a good partner/team is one of the few things that keeps you grounded

That post GJ death was devastating, what a champion to go right back into it

Not everyone has a friend like that?

This YT channel impacts me like no other. I feel like I'm sitting down for a feature film every time a video drops. TY SS!

I love these so much. They always open my eyes to people scraping away at fractions of a second to be the best at a thing. I love the speedrunning community.

Just imagine Summoning Salt doing a Rec Room video. The runs and strategies on Golden Trophy are pretty cool, and the thought of him saying *"This is where Boethiah comes in."* is awesome.

Rec room is goated but definitely too niche of a community. Shame because jumbotron is one of the best video game experiences.

So gratifying to hear summoning salt say that halo 2 on legendary is a serious achievement. The first time I beat it was on legendary by myself and it took FOREVER. Seeing someone do it in a fraction of the time is absolutely insane. These people are gaming out of their minds.

Halo 2 was the pinnacle of a gaming experience for this young teen at the time of release. Clans, competitive teams, MLG practice. And some of the most fun times came from messing with physics, climbing up to the top of stages finding invisible walls and ceilings. We would spend hours on burial grounds sword climbing to the top of the maps.

It’s a funny thing to be glad to have grown up during the time of a video game. But I agree, halo 2 was such a special experience that those times are some of my most cherished memories

Listening to Cryphon talk about his friend surpassing him and encouraging him to keep going is so sweet. You can tell he wants him to succeed just as much. What a great friend.

ok

@van truong thiok

@van truong thi ok

he looks so majestic too

Cryphon also has the most amazing eyes, he is a handsome mf

My childhood. I just want to go back for one day to play this again online with all the boys. Glitches, super bounces, custom FFAs on Midship and snipers on Lockout. I'll even take getting modded on Terminal in the high ranks. Good times.

I just have to say, Halo had the best level names lol. My brain lights up when I think of aliens paired with "Truth and Reconciliation" and "High Charity" lmao. Badass.

I'm surprised "ghosting" wasn't mentioned (bashing against a wall or object several times and then clipping through walls and doors), or the 30 FPS vs. 60 FPS difference in sword tech difficulty. I can almost never pull off a sword-fly on MCC, but in Halo 2 Classic it is easy for me. I believe it went from a 2 frame window to a 1 frame window.

The window for sword tech is always 2 frames, regardless of fps. I realized this when I was trying to do it at 144 fps and found it impossible lol. I lowered my max fps to 30 and didn't have an issue anymore.

There were a good few things he didn't really get into which is a shame but I think he was trying to keep this a little shorter to focus more on the runners themselves

Heya Salt, love all of your videos, but this one really landed hard. Having the two runners on talking about their journey really brought home the emotional investment. Fantastic work, and thanks to the runners for sharing their story with us!

When the first note plays, I know I'm in for an epic story. Thanks for all your great videos.

Seeing Cryphon talking up Zoo is honestly heartwarming. Good for everyone involved.

Cryphon is how you do it. Mean while over in mario kart, they're just being obstructive dicks lmao.

cryphon's look is majestic damn

@Amir Rayyan I was thinking this through the video, dude looks stunning

Cryphon is an absolute bro. No jealousy about being surpassed, just total support for his friend's achievements

@BathroomTile He's got some of the most blue eyes I have ever seen

All the videos you do are awesome. I hope they make history, books or history holodecks or something like that with these in the future. It's my favorite thing to get to just watch and listen and learn so much about the rich culture of specific speed runs. You're great! Keep it up!

I know it was said many many times but that track that's always in the beginning of the video is somehow creating a safe space for me. I feel like I'm 12 again, it's Friday evening and I'm booting up MegaMan 2 on an emulator trying to beat it as fast as I can. Nothing to worry about besides the time of my run. Just spending good time with gaming. Salt is so awesome when it comes to creating mood and making stuff in the video feel super important ❤

I love how in depth he gets explaining certain mechanics of the game, great work man

I do this weird little thing near the beginning of these videos where I try to guess what’s the last minute barrier they’re trying to shoot for and I nailed it this time, I guessed 1:20:00 🎉 But I find that the most legendary videos Salt does (imo) are the ones where my initial guess is just wildly, hopelessly wrong and the community just cracks a game wide open. Never ceases to make me smile

Wooo! I really loved getting the player's perspectives. Really nice way to spice up a video for a game whose record doesn't have a lot of changing hands. Great video.

Friendly reminder that JerValiN is also the absolute legend that pulled off Deathless Halo 2 LASO No Envy Skull, one of the most legendary achievements in the game's history.

For someone who didn’t grow up with an Xbox, can you please elaborate? Lol

@Kirtus Selleck it is not just one of the hardest achievements for Halo, it's one of the hardest achievements. In gaming.

@Kirtus Selleck Deathless Halo w/ Envy means you complete the game with a modifier that makes the game easier by giving the human character, Master Chief, the ability to go invisible. This ability is only used by the alien character, the Arbiter, hence the name Envy. Deathless No Envy means Master Chief does not get this ability, making the challenge significantly harder.

​@Kirtus Selleck halo 2 laso stands for legendary all skulls on which the skulls are modifiers, of which most just straight up make the game harder ie invisible enemies, hud turned off, shields only recharge when you melee an enemy, all enemies that can have rank are higher ranked so they have more health, etc etc. It's just extremely hard so there are a bunch of strategies to make it easier but it's still one of the hardest things in gaming I've ever played and have only gotten through like the first 5 levels so to do it all without dying is insane

@Kirtus Selleck Legendary is the hardest difficulty of any Halo game, and Halo 2 is popularly considered to be the hardest game in the series. LASO is an acronym and category for Halo running, which stands for Legendary: All Skulls On. Skulls, in most of the early Halo games, are findable objects in game that provide extra challenges to overcome. The Blind Skull causes your HUD to disappear - meaning there's no ammo counter, no target reticle, no grenade counter, nothing. The Black Eye skull makes it so your shield doesn't recharge unless you land a melee hit on an enemy, and so on. LASO runs require all of these to be activated. It's an incredibly frustrating experience.

I grew up with so many of the games that Summoning Salt tells stories about. I love this channel’s content. Seeing these games and how much fun the speed runner’s have playing them makes me feel like a kid again!

I like how Sword Fly is so important to the Halo community that it leaked into Bungie's Destiny 2 as an Easter egg. It became a perk called Egar Edge where, upon weapon swap, attacking with the sword would give you extra momentum.

Thanks for the videos! These are awesome, and I can't watch anything else when a new one is uploaded. I really appreciate the ending graphic timeline, when you get to see how the record fell over time, with the different colors of who held the record. It would be great if you added the names of those who held the record color coded such that it was a summary and reminder of all of the speedrunners you talked about through out the video. Thanks!

The game that took me into speed running, and it all started because I wanted to bypass most of the difficult areas in legendary.

Is it just me or have all the small improvements you’ve been adding over the years come together so perfectly here? The timeline showing all the records at once, the interviews with runners, not even with just the main record holder, but also with his mentor… smaller improvements in editing, and even stuff people nowadays take for granted nowadays like showing failed runs along with successful ones. All of that has come together perfectly in this to make what might just be the best video you’ve made thus far. Keep it up, this one is an absolute masterclass in your catalogue!

I'm in agreement. A while back, most of Salt's videos were entertaining and informative, but could be seen as Samey or Formulaic. However, here lately, every video has been topping the last, and all the lessons learned seem to snowball into each other rather than have one big singular improvement that marks a new era.

100% and the writing too

He started talking slower and I hate it.

Yeah it's just you

@Negi watch at 1.25, ez fix

I didn't know Halo had such a dedicated speedrunning community. That's freakin' awesome! ...and the support and sportsmanship between those 2 runners! My Goodness! Thank you for sharing this, Summoning Salt!

Another thing to mention about Halo 2 Anniversary (and also probably why a lot of people did not like H2A) is that the enemies behaviors are tied to framerate. This was done in the original H2 as well, but the framerate was lower. H2A brought the FPS up, meaning that the enemies were essentially overclocked and doing a whole lot more fast, which is why you'd get melted as quickly as you do. Areas like the start of Gravemind (shown in the video) are way more harder in H2A than in H2 as a result. TLDR people who beat H2A on Legendary are more cracked than people who beat H2 on Legendary due to game upgrades practically injecting steroids in enemies.

Seeing as I've been involved in Halo 2 speedrunning since 2014 on Haloruns, I really enjoyed the recap and nostalgia. Thanks! I remember Hockeyfan and SlidingGhost pretty vivdly.

Big fan of you and a big fan of Halo 2. Love the runners, love the work put into this, great job once again Salt. Best content on the platform.

I literally get chills everytime I hear your intro.... Please keep doing what you do bro, love these videos!

i rly love the interviews - it would be awesome to see even more , like what questions you ask them or like more background about the process of researching for these videos! i think the ethnography aspect of speedrunning is a really cool way to look into the communities:) hearing runners talk abt their experiences is a rly cool addition 👍

Learned about sword tech through this and now understand why eager edge exists as a perk in destiny 2 haha! Love these videos man, keep on being awesome!

Out of all your videos, this one really hits home for me. I used to impress my friends at LAN parties with all the glitches in Halo 2. Good times.

I honestly had no idea Jarvalin had already set so many records and got down to so few deaths before Charlie's deathless challenge, I kinda thought he popped up out of nowhere and just got to work Dude is probably cemented as the biggest halo 2 legend in the community now

Also it's already been said but this is a very well made video, and it's pretty important and useful to have now since a lot of the early records of times, names, and strats have been lost or buried

The speedrunning communities' commitment to play games as little as possible will never cease to amaze me

Amazing video, love the interviews, the care and the music! Fantastic job! For anyone wondering (like me): They refer to the smaller sections that are timed between the full run as "splits"

Not even a Halo player, yet I was thrilled to see this upload. Summoning Salt is legitimately one of the best documentarian alive

Been watching for a few years now and i think I was originally introduced by a friend who's into speed runs and than re-introduced by Ludwig a couple years ago, just wanna say love the videos and all the games you go over and these videos are just overall a vibe especially late at night. Can't wait to see what games you cover in the future! o7

I remember this and the original as a kid when I was at my cousin's house. We spent countless hours messing around in the campaign and against each other in the multiplayer. I think I almost beat Legendary on the first game but I never got far on the second game. I wish I could go back and do it again but my uncle doesn't own that Xbox anymore. He surprisingly won it from a sweepstakes at work which was really cool at the time. I'll never forget that intro when you turned the console on. Fusion Frenzy Forever!

Celebrated so well. Exceptional content

Nice to work hard

very nice

👍

Thumbs

Thik

I know so many runners from this game, and it's amazing to see them and their history with the game, wonderful video 🙌

i was having a really bad day and this video is already making me feel better thank you for making these speedrunning documentaries

YES! I was hoping some of the Halo series would be covered at some point. The glitches and skips in these games are so fun to mess around with.

Seeing other runners supporting each other and going "hell yeah let me train you so you can do better than me!" is sooooo coool!!!

i have so much respect for this guy i'm watching whole sponsored segment without skipping

It's a testament to how brutal H2 is that speedruns aren't decided by having no deaths, but by trying to minimise the amount of deaths you have, because a no-death speedrun just feasibly cannot keep pace

reminds me of how optimized play often makes strategic use of damage boosting, death warps, and generally using your characters Health as a resource. This clashes with the casual view of being “good” at a game meaning minimal deaths or damage

@C hence why speedrunners and pro players can’t compete with one another in a feasibly fair way, their skill sets are just completely different

You'd think that would push people to consider the easiest difficulty as the main category, to cut down the bullshit deaths to RNG.

@marathon664 OK, look, I hear you; counterpoint: *WHAT'S'A'MATTER, YA SCARED?*

@marathon664 Lack of swords on easy in h2 though lol

So much nostalgia watching some of the tricks my brother and I would do be brought back up. Definitely mis-attributed some stuff to the speedrunners that's been around since soon after launch though. EDIT: Prison skip in 2016 is insane lol that was around before Halo 3 released at the latest

Awesome job on this video, glad we have some of this history preserved!

You really gotta love how because of the initial lack of glitches in Halo 2A causing people to stick to Halo 2C, the devs had to basically _break_ Halo 2A so more people would have the preference of speedrunning it, and it worked. Who knew doing the opposite of a patch would help

You should consider using vector graphics instead of pixel-based images for your graphs. They stay smooth and can stay the same thickness as you zoom in, instead of becoming pixelated and thicker. Loved this video btw

This might be one of the coolest Speed run stories of all time I knew Halo was a cool game but I probably should actually do a full playthrough...and honor it like I never have before Cheers!

Seeing Cryphon be so supportive toward Zoo was really really sweet. You could tell how much he wanted him to succeed

Yeah :)

Repent to Jesus Christ “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ Y

@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ death stalks you

ok

Big fan of Halo and Halo speed running, so, I was super excited to see you make a video on both. Great stuff, love the videos, keep up the good work❤

These videos are just awesome. The detail and care. The stories told by these legendary gamers. It’s just wonderful to watch l

Halo 2 is the greatest game of all time, glad to see it has a thriving Legendary speedrun scene. Awesome progression video as always! I hope there is a 1:17 time someday

I'm an adult now. I used to play games with my brother and my friends. It was just as fun playing or watching them play. This is the joy Summoning Salt videos give me. I feel like I'm watching my brother play. Thank you.

Halo 2, OMG! I remember playing Halo 2 coop with my older brother before joining the army. We were on the level where you assault, board, and destroy the scarab. It was so damn epic! Halo is always better with friends and family! That they took split screen out was so out of touch. Personally, I play Halo games on Heroic mainly. It feels much more fair. Legendary reminds me of the warning you get in Doom when you select nightmare lol.

This was my childhood, and seeing it on summoningsalt of all channels... Thank you, Mr. Speedrun.

Right? His videos already feel like Christmas! This is hype

Damn I feel old now. When Halo 2 released I was already able to buy and consume alcohol legally.

Now I just got to wait for Halo 3, I’ve played it so many times it’s gotta be at least 200 times. That and the amount of late nights with a friend tag teaming scarabs, it lives in my heart fondly. Glad to see halo being covered!

VyPr where u at , vypr is king of halo

halo 2 is such a niche game not

I haven't watched summonings videos in a few months, and running into this feels like a treat

I just love how supportive and collaborative speed running communities are

This man is the definition of quality over quantity and we love it ❤

huge draw to this channel to me is honestly how you can never predict what game is going to be

I appreciate you giving good insight into the speedrunning community and generally enjoy the content. I'd love to provide some specific feedback on the structural and visual aspects for these videos but a YouTube comment is difficult to do so. Is there a Discord or other method of communicating ideas to you? Thanks and keep it up!

Either you have the absolute best theme music of all time, or your content triggers geek video game nostalgia so hard that I get emotional even in the first 20 seconds. ♥️

I love that the devs worked with the community

I know right. It normally goes the other way

If only they'd done it from the beginning. And if only 343 did that with the new games as well. Oh well, they're out of business now.

Between the constant rule changes to the run, and the devs actually changing the game I found it much harder to get invested in this than other Summoning Salt videos. In terms of making a good Summoning Salt video, I'd say them adding glitches back into the game was detrimental. I don't see how it helps speedrunners either, since the original version will always be its own speedrunning category it's not actually increasing the accessibility of speed-running the game. Finally, after so many years of the anniversary edition being out, I don't see how adding the glitches back in does anything good for the vast majority of players who have already started playing and don't want their stuff tampered with. The devs getting top players to test the game: great, but I can't see how adding the glitches back in was anything but a way to drum up hype.

@Caston Young Having the glitches in singleplayer but not multiplayer was 343’s original vision for MCC in the first place. The reason Halo 2 for Vista and MCC’s launch didn’t have it was because when the Vista port was being made, it wasn’t possible to separate singleplayer and multiplayer glitches, and MCC was originally built upon the Vista port.

i personally am still greatly anticipating matt turk to somehow return. if it happens i will actually be jumpscared

I remember getting into custom lobbies and coop campaigns and just screwing around with an the super jumps and glitches. It was a great time and made a lot of memories with halo 2.

When I first bought this came after it came out I made the decision to jump straight to legendary and play until completion. It probably took about a month and I distinctly remember playing certain checkpoints at least 100 times before completing them. It’s the only game I recall where the difficulty actually turned me off to the game and I never went back to it after finally finishing it. I can’t imagine completing it in under 2 hours!

Just recently started master chief collection with a friend of mine. Aside from having a great time from these games that we had never played until then, i was impressed about how little to no invisible walls these games have. We explored a lot since it's fun to role play the game like a crazy physics bending master chief, or 2. From 3 upwards it seens they put invisible walls, bummer.

i love your content. always top tier. and i always look forward to new videos. keep up the amazing work.

Massive shame that a lot of the earlier runs weren't recorded. It really sucks that Twitch doesn't automatically save past broadcasts forever like YouTube does. Deleting them after a couple months means we've lost so much good content

Some channels get to save them permanently, but even then I think there was some change at some point where every vod that had copyrighted stuff was yeeted. Twitch is volatile.

​@beardalaxyyeah, the streamer yeeted it themselves, after multiple streamers got banned for music in years old VODs.

Their saving tons of money by not infinitely saving everything and things only saved for a month to 3 months. If you are a speedrunner you should be saving things yourself.

@Benjamin Sorenson At least save a highly compressed 360p version or so

How can you make a Halo 2 speedrun history video and not mention Ranabundana? He is easily one of the most skilled runners in the game's history and pushed the game super far.

Ye

It’s criminal to have not included Rana. Outclassed everyone else for years.

It was a rush job to meet a Microsoft deadline.

@Blackie Black wow I didn't even notice it was sponsored

Such a classic microsoft sellout video to just focus on MCC and not mention rana and all the classic H2 tricks like wall clipping, super bounces, different language versions etc. Regardless of his controversy and being banned from the community, he is still arguably more skilled than most of these runners in this video...

Even though I hear that a lot this happened in the past few years, I just feel like it's a story from the 2000s. Maybe that's just the way the docs are made, but it's really nostalgic.

Like every game salt has made a video on is a old game so that’s why lol

I used to play so much halo 2 back in the day when it first came out. I spent more time playing custom games than probably anything else. My favorite thing was doing superbounces and getting out of the maps and stuff. I used to go around and find all kinds of new superbounces all over the place. But I never thought to try to do them in the campaign.

I love your vids, but this one holds a very special place in my heart. My childhood salutes you, Summoning Salt.

Should start doing more of these there's tons of speed runs out there you can do. Your voice is made for these. Thanks again
