Crazy. I haven't played this game in 8 years. Yet I vividly remember each and every mission. This was one of the most memorable and we'll designed single player experiences ever.
@@jondrew9086 it was. I used to be soooooo excited for E3 to hear about any new releases. I haven’t been excited since 2014 and i cancelled my Game Informers Magazine subscription after having it since like ‘05. Gaming just isn’t the same anymore man b
Not going to lie I enjoy it too, it's just sometimes he repeats himself a lot lol I get it for the content and excitement for the viewers, but sometimes 🤐 still love his videos though
Cool reaction :) Glad to see you picked up on and explained many of the tricks as he was doing them. In regards to why he plays on english; H3 on the XBOX 360 version is indeed faster in other languages, but during the transition to MCC they normalized all of the cutscene/dialogue lengths to allow for people of different regions to play together without desynchronizing. As a result all languages are the same speed on MCC.
At 10:57 when he missed his Plasma Shot, he might have died if that brute landed a melee on him but one of the marines shot the brute and broke his armor, staggering him and allowing the speed runner to beat him down. That’s solid.
Fun fact. Master cheif can't carry gravity hammers to other missions if you end a mission with a hammer. If your playing with other people, the people who are elites can carry a gravity hammer over.
At 4:25 he didn't mess up anything it worked, though out the game cortana/gravemind send the player messages that slow movement speed down by a lot so speed runners try to get around the message trigger points when they can, 4:25 was a trigger point for a cortana message.
I’ve played through this campaign at least 15 times over the course of my life and I’m literally learning new routes and stuff on ever single level from this guy. Absolutely nuts.
So many good memories of playing Halo 3! Does anyone remember how incredibly creative people got with custom games maps!? Race tracks, roller coasters, fat boy, I am legend, zombie maps damn it was a good time! 😂
Literally this is the game that i got home from school and me my sister mum and dad would play as a team, we Literally racked up like 15,000 games was a blast🤣
Nostalgia hitting me really hard right now almost makes me cry! God Halo 3 was one of my best childhood memories. It will always have a place in my heart
Noah this halo series has brought me back dude. Me and my cousin beat all 3 on legendary.. not after many many deaths and breaks but we did it. When you say golden age you couldn’t be more right. I’m 26 and have a ps5 but nothing will beat the halo custom maps big team battle all nighters and cod4 mike Myers games on overgrown. I feel so old lol
@@neokl3710 Nah H2 Elites, Grunts, Drones, Flood, Sentinels, Vehicles and Hunters are all more deadly too. ODST and 3 are just easy games. Imo once you turn on catch, tough luck and thunderstorm then they start to feel similar to CE, 2 and Reach.
@@antepower4031 Reach is my second favorite. It goes 3, reach and then 2 for me. 3 was the first one I'd ever played so it is nostalgic for me personally
I’m so thankful my Dad was a gamer growing up. I would have never experienced growing through elementary and middle school playing the OG Halo trilogy.
This is honestly really impressive.. like I beaten every single halo campaign, then replayed haloce-2-3-odst-reach throughout the years as a kid, then as a teen, and now as an adult, yet despite that.. I have not once beaten any of the campaigns on legendary, so seeing this guy beat it like it was nothing.. is just mind blowing all the strategies and tactics he uses, like I thought I played the campaigns so many times.. but this guy definitely played then even more than I have because I can only imagine how many times he had to die to find out what works and what didn’t, and trying to find glitches and bugs.. crazy.
That Getting Over It game with Bennett Foddy is an amazing speedrun to watch, and WR is only 1m 5s. Perfect for that compilation video series you were talking about.
I remember whenn I was in 8th grade, one Friday a couple of my friends and I played airsoft until the sun went down. After eating pizza and hangin we spent the next 12 hours scouring youtube to find all the skulls in the halo 3 missions for hyabusa
9:34 to the topic RNG, its rng where the not used plasma grenades land or fly through explosions and if they detonate...=>time loss would be one death. Loot was everytime in Halo random where it lands and was pretty dangerous
Only recently became a fan due to the halo series speedrun you commentary. Love it dude, keep it up until the 5th one. I binged all the speedruns, after the second to catch my self back up to speed with all the halos leading up to halo infinite.
My first playthrough of Halo 3 was about ~2 hours 45 minutes. It was tradition to finish the campaign before playing multipayer. Legit about 8 of my neighbors showed up to my place and one brought Pizza and Mountain Dew and some controllers. Just to play the campaign and watch. The pressure was on haha and we were all hyped up from Halo 2.
I have played Halo my whole life and I had to replay at like 10:00 because I didn’t know you could throw a plasma or grenade in general while charging the plasma pistol either, and you looked about as confused as me lmaooo
I love these vids but I dont think he understands how much harder Halo CE is on legendary compared to halo 3. Even legendary Halo 2 gravemind is probably the most difficult legendary misson
Oblivion is a good short speedrun, depending on the category. I forget if it’s like, 2 or 3 minutes, but a certain Oblivion category is ssuuupppeerr fast!
When I finally got around to playing through Halo 3 Legendary solo earlier this year, after a long time of having not played the game's campaign for the most part, I had a fun time and was glad to be able to comfortably watch these speed runs at my leisure (didn't feel like spoiling my revisits of the levels again by watching the runs first, so I didn't do it or didn't do it much, anyway). I wasn't trying to speed run, really, I was playing normally, but thought I did some parts reasonably fast, especially the "Floodgate" mission. But this is a whole other level, haha. If I really end up feeling like it, I might wanna try speed running games I've beaten as well, including the Halos. Speed running is a very taxing thing, though, admittedly. It looks glamorous to us in the end, but dozens or possibly hundreds of hours have been poured into each game by the people who do this kind of stuff to get to the level of knowledge they have, I'm sure.
> Spartan laser > Balanced The amount of vehicle runs eviscerated by that thing is insane, thankfully it looks like the skewer is replacing it in halo infinite
I really hope Noah reacts to the Halo Reach speedrun. That game was to me what halo 3 is to a lot of other people and it would be crazy to see the speedrun for it
6:09 before you get to that hill, you can grab a sniper and take out the grav hammer boss from across the map. Might be a lil tricky to incorporate into a speed run but I wonder if it could save some time.
The only game I've ever played a campaign multiple times and always had fun
Especially on the last mission Racing on splitscreen
You've never played a single player twice and had fun both times?! sucks bro

The one we all have been waiting for!! Our childhood right here
The Cortana skips that every normal player tried to do for so long he did as if it was a normal thing to skip it
i dont think Noh realized he was skipping those parts
I try it every play through
I’m 18 and I hate that I missed the prime halo years, Reach was the newest one when I played
I feel the exact same, I wish I was able to play the most popular game to ever exist
I got in right at the last year of 3 with the hype into reach. It was a pretty amazing time
But let's be honest Reach was a phenomenal game
i think gaming in that era was just so different that time not only halo.

I love how on Tsavo he says "He only cares about two teammates." When in reality, they are nothing more than bullet sponges so you don't die as fast
Watching this is literally watching Master Chief from the books
For your shorter series of speed runs, you GOTTA react to the Getting Over It Speedrun WR
Chief when he runs campaign normally: i slep
Chief when hes ready for speedrunning:
LORD FORGIVE ME, BUT I'M ON MY GRIND
