Halo CE completed in 76 Minutes.....On Legendary.

The other ones are still a lot more impressive to me.

You don't need to "break the game" in order to do the speed the run.

There's really more to to it then "just getting the keys".

Just like there is probably more to the HL one then "just breaking the game physics". As I'm sure you'd agree.

Nintendo wins this round of speed runs for me personally.

Now what we need to see from both parties, is restricted speed runs, such as only using certain items or doing specific things. Etc. I'm sure there already out there so post'em if you want. I might if I can find one.

Anyways, both are very VERY impressive. Let's not get that wrong here. Kudos to both. Oh! and the Halo one.

Technically, the Super Mario World 2 one he does break the game in a few places to speed himself up. But a majority of the time shaved off his gameplay is from knowing where the keys were. While the Half-Life speed run also shaved off a lot of time by skipping some chapters, he also cut a lot of time just being a boss.

Hmm, well, should we consider a simple glitch the same as 'breaking the game'? You could kinda go 50/50 on that.

Because I just watched one of a speed run of Mario 2 in 26 mins without using any warps. But he did use glitches to get past certain areas faster. I can see both sides on that one.

Anyways, 26 mins with no warps? Now that's boss.

HE KILLED A SCIENTIST!
