Everyone that said this was a bad idea was right! Over a year later, we're back with another entry. And remember that Patreon supporters gets the full run (over 8hours!!), early access to videos, exclusive content, and much more. www.patreon.com/defendthehouse
I totally respect your decision to cancel this series, but I will say that TaR is easily among the hardest levels in the game LASO. I would watch one of these every year and I’d still be keen to watch you finish the fight in 2056
I really hope you consider finishing LASO. Youve done the hardest level by far and could easily get the rest done for Halo CE. ps - Anniversary graphics make it much harder.
I was going to comment, perhaps you guys should watch MintBlitz’s LASO video which would give you some good tactics, insight and advice on how to be more efficient. This level is aids, but you’ve done it, don’t get discouraged and please don’t give up.
You guys are insane at doing this on top of zombies and everything else. I heavily respect the dedication you two seem to have. Although I know you won’t be continuing this… I love what you’re doing with zombies and it’s been very impressive. I’ve been watching since the first episode of BO1 mythbusters and this content you’ve been making has been peak! Keep it up! I am loving it! Easily my favorite channel on yt.
@@defendthehouse completely understandable. I think after that sadly most of the videos runtime will drop down a lot in the future games. Which maybe you’ll be able to catch up very quickly to the finish line past that game in terms of being caught up. Cannot wait to see the maps of IW and WWII as I’ve never played them and am curious to see what you guys will think about them on the least popular maps of those games. Much love though, keep it up!
havent gotten there yet but I love how each halo game has its own flavour of skulls, which makes them each have similar impossible, ridiculous difficulties
To be fair, the old graphics didn't have a lot of variety a lot of the time. You were either staring at gray, purple, or the occasional brown and green lol. Both UNSC and Forerunner aesthetics in the OG graphics are just gray with occasional breaks for lights or gaps, the Covenant is hues of purples, the only time you don't see gray or purple, is during an outdoor segment where you get dirt, trees, grass, and snow. The anniversary graphics are 'pretty', but don't mesh well with the art direction Combat Evolved was going with (though sometimes I too found myself wondering what the hell they were thinking with some of the areas).
Word of advice if you ever decide to tackle this again. Look up a laso guide. And follow it to the letter. Took me and my bro several 3 hour sessions. And one power outage. But we did it. Because of the guides not missing any shots.
It’s so funny seeing you guys struggle with the sword elites once you go up the lift, the old graphics have the elites carrying BRIGHT blue glowing swords and are much easier to see.
This series being ended (entirely reasonably, I might add), does have me thinking that it would be fun for its spirit to continue on as some kind of 'challenge mode attempts' series where you pick a single slice of some major challenge mode in games you like to see if you can manage it. Whether it be the hardest one, or a level that has a hellish reputation, just a chance for you to take a look at it without the commitment of doing an entire series start to end.
Whoo! Came for the zombies content, but stayed for the journey through wacky Helldivers 2 moments, the 2 episode LASO journey, and now a Destiny 2 teaser for the future??? Awesome stuff guys. Seriously feeling the sense of how nightmarish this experience must have felt for yall. Spending nearly 3 hours to get through maybe 33% of the level had to have been maddening. But despite that, you both always manage to persevere through these monumental gaming challenges one way or another. Already looking forward to the next video
after doing Legendary Co-op for all the games, I started LASO a few months ago with a guy who beat it solo. He swears by CE being the hardest LASO in the franchise. (also I haven't gotten past this level yet, we also beat the first two back to back and got stuck on this one lol)
If you were to ever go back for whatever reason but didn't want it to be as challenging, maybe try halo infinite LASO? It's nowhere near as hard and I feel like you would progress a lot faster, not too sure how it plays in Co-Op though.
Y'all are way too close to enemies, as though its normal diff. laso is a fight for every foot forward of the level. Also you are running into the mesh of the old hitbox being different from the new graphics mode, which is why the shots / collisions are off.
True, and even with original graphics, CE is really unforgiving in hits/misses. The hitboxes are accurate, and there's zero bullet magnetism, bullet diameter/cone, or anything of the sort that many modern games have.
I think running through on easy to legendary on standard first would've gone a long way in making it easier and helping learn how missions progress + ammo locations. Maybe an additional time on easy or normal with all skulls on to get the hang of what you'll be doing. I fully understand not committing to LASO but I do hope you guys revisit eventually cause even your torture can be entertaining
Y’all added the extra challenge of playing on the remastered graphics! So you get invisible geometry that blocks your bullets too. I would lose my mind trying this. A for Affort. Edit: I see now you were switching back and forth to get some peeks in lol. Still, totally miserable. Don’t envy you.
You could use halo completionist guides as a last choice because he includes some glitches to skip fights but I think you guys want to do all of the fights legitimately
But if not then you can try to do doom eternal's ultra nightmare run which is a better no death run because only the first five or six levels are the hardest because you don't have all of your upgrades
It lives! I was definitely not expecting this series to come back, and I understand why it has to die. Although, if you guys want an easier/reasonable LASO run, it might be worth trying in Reach.
I do get why Laso doesn't work for the two of you and these videos, but I know I for one would love to see more halo from the two of you even if it is not more Laso
As a massive halo fan who's recently considered attempting a LASO run, this was the worst video for me to stumble upon, now I'm scared! Awesome video and good humor boys, subbed.
you know, it might be interesting to watch yall do a run of the Cursed Halo mod as a "consolation prize" for needing to end this series early. It adds a lot of cursed things to the campaign (Shocker), is much more enjoyable than LASO in my opinion, and we get to see you go through the campaign. Win Win Win overall
Those blue elite guys grunt kinda sound like will simth doing the ahhh ha ha of the "ahhh ha ha ahh that's hot, das hot" from yt rewind. You can't unhear this now. Also i made it in the video let's go :)
I was just playing this mission tonight! Crazy I got recommended this. I'm showing my buddy halo and we have been trying to laso it. This level sucked so hard. Gets not fun so quick. I feel so much validation seeing you struggling as much as we did. I screamed so loud my neighbor filed a noise complaint
i ended up beating th halo ce and halo 2 laso challenges back when there was a bug/oversight from 343 where you could still get the completion with the bandana skull on. infinite frag grenades makes everything easier.
You know what's really funny? You two beat the hardest LASO level in probably the entire franchise. T&R in CE and Cairo Station in 2 are the hardest LASO gets by a landslide, and Cairo with Johnson is night and day easier. Respect y'all calling it good here. Tbh though, if you can clear this, you can breeze the rest. Even Gravemind doesn't compare (Gravemind IS long, but not as hard). (Credentials: Cleared each LASO duo, and gearing up for round 2 for shits. Lost 4 attempts to T&R, 2 to Cairo).
Ahhh good 'ol TNR, the killer of dreams. As much as I'm bummed the series is over so soon, I do not blame you for a moment lol. Here's to Jamison's next lead project 😌
@@defendthehousehalo 2 LASO is weird. If you’re using good strategies, it can be fairly easy on certain levels. But then there’s a HUGE swing to the other side where it’s insanely difficult.
If you want to give LASO another shot, I recommend starting with ODST or Halo 3, both are hard but infinitely easier than this level, and both are types of games where you can always brute force progress and not feel stuck like in parts on here, and it just feels more fun. Enemies are easier, guns work better, and you get a lot more options with equipment and vehicles. From my own experience from LASO in every halo game, you will get a lot of skill in thinking about encounters after that that will carry over to any future games you try to LASO. But good job on clearing this level, first time I did CE LASO it also took us a year, this level sucks and you should feel accomplished for beating it
Yeaaaaah Truth and reconciliation took me and my group about 4 months to get through, about the same length of time as the entirety of halo reach and half of halo 3. I would recommend doing 3, 3odst, reach or 4 before even scratching halo 1 or 2 laso. Those 4 are a genuinely fun challenge, but I respect the attempt anyway, T&R is a morale killer
For anyone trying to do this, the xbox series X/S quick resume feature can save co-op splitscreen checkpoints. This is how me and my brother did h2 legendary.
I would say if you do consider continuing in the future, get some Halo experts to run through with you as it will still require you all to be on top of your game but the added guidance would help a lot. Also to make you feel better, Halo 1 is really being thrown in the deep end. If you attempted 3 or Reach or ODST you would have way more fun.
man i love the presentations in all your guys' videos but i think this is the best one you've done so sar oh also idk if you figure it out later in the video, but if you're playing ce again it's best to use the og graphics since the anniversary graphics have misaligned collision meshes - this is because the collision meshes are still based off of the classic ones (which match up more closely to the og models)
Really enjoyed this video I’m gunna go watch pt1 , I’d like to see you fellas play through the rest of the halo games. As I am doing the same currently for the first time, LASO definitely isn’t for me and after seeing your struggles I’ll give it a miss for now 🤣
Are you familiar with the infinite ammo glitch? It works on all weapons that reload. Also, this is the hardest Laso mission in the series without it so any other mission will be easier for you.
i respect the quitting LASO, T&R took me like 15 hours of playtime to clear it solo, though in solo there's the save and quit method that bypases the restart skull. FWIW, i will say, huge congrats on making it through, and you guys did beat probably the worst non-H2 LASO level. if you'd like to try a LASO that is genuinelh a fun time, Reach is really fun, especially learning the speedrun skips for missions like Sword Base!
Reach is by far the worst game to try and laso on imo. That games balance is just so far off the mark, it's not even funny. You cant even rely on overcharging plasma pistols for elites and jackals because they dont deplete shields in that game.
@@SPITSPHIRE but it's much easier to deal with shielded enemies by peppering the tap shots of the plasma pistol, and it lasts much longer, and on most missions you have some invincible cpu helping you deal with enemies slowly but safely, as well as several fun level-skipping glitches (though CE also has a few of those, especially on Silent Cartographer, Assault on the Control Room, 343 Guilty Spark, and The Library)
imagine if you had gone with his idea off the bat. Just do it in 1 setting. Filthy casuals. Muh 90 minute gaming session is over, mom! Could have had this video out in a week
Made it 3x harder by playing on MCC with the faster physics too, valiant effort. Halo 3 LASO is almost doable on MCC…all games legendary is obviously within your grasp too. Could bring Ben & one other..? Isn’t Halo 4 player co-op on all/most games?
I despise T&R. The level that kills my legendary runs isn't the Library, it isn't all of Halo 2, it's T&R that immediately makes want to stop playing Halo forever
I said this when episode 1 came out, but I think this series would have been WAYYYYYY more doable if you just played it in reverse order, or at least just the games in reverse order. You would start off with much easier and player friendly games, then by the time you worked your way up to Halo 2, you would have a really good "feel" for LASO and it would """easier""" to complete them. And honestly if you just accepted you would have to cheat through part of the level in lieu of a good checkpointing system, even the harder levels wont be that bad and I think the series could have continiued. But obviously, if you guys werent having fun with it and didnt think it was doable, then yeah quitting was the right choice. We dont want you guys to /actually/ suffer.
Yeah there are definitely some paths we could have taken to continue this journey, but we also like progressing through things in a linear release order way. But also also, the logistics of editing while trying to maintain the rest of the channel was too much for the two of us. One big time commitment series (Zombies) is enough for the time being.
21:26 I remember encountering this a decade ago with CEA and that was the moment that I realized 343 are morons and need to be dissolved as a company entirely
@Pat4ever. 343 was payed to make it and they contracted development out to Saber Interactive. I'm guessing you just looked at what the awful Google AI says where it lists all of the companies with any involvement in it.
Sucks that you guys are giving up entirely. Aside from This one level and... the entirety of Halo 2... the rest of the games as far as I know aren't nearly as bad to play through (completely blanking on my Halo 5 experience), even with Blind Skull disabling the HUD.
apart from the hp gain u get when cheating, i call it a good victory since professional developers arn't capable enough of making a save checkpoint system for two players
@@Ordolph Iron basically doesn't exist because everyone who does LASO solo uses the save/quit method. If you can deal with H2A's long load times, Solo is the best way to do the game.
Interesting. I've been curious about that - I presume the Warden fights are particularly unfun. I'll have to look at some gameplay to see what makes it so special
honestly now that it's pointed out the thumbnail does look ai. I really hope you all haven't dropped that low to using ai art for thumbnails. I love watching you guys but I'll unsubscribe if that's the situation :/

9:05 Calling OG graphics ugly was heart piercing bruv
if anything the anniversary graphics are ugly at least for ce anniversary

Both UNSC and Forerunner aesthetics in the OG graphics are just gray with occasional breaks for lights or gaps, the Covenant is hues of purples, the only time you don't see gray or purple, is during an outdoor segment where you get dirt, trees, grass, and snow.

i knoww
CE's master chief collection classic graphics are bugged so they look worse than they were originally
Word of advice if you ever decide to tackle this again.
Look up a laso guide.
And follow it to the letter.
Took me and my bro several 3 hour sessions.
And one power outage.
But we did it.
Because of the guides not missing any shots.
Yupp. LASO is NOT something you can just wing. Maybe for some of the other games, but CE and H2 require research haha.
Sounds like a Zombies easter egg. lol
It’s so funny seeing you guys struggle with the sword elites once you go up the lift, the old graphics have the elites carrying BRIGHT blue glowing swords and are much easier to see.
This level took me ages just on normal legendary. Props to you guys for doing this, its truly brutal.
This series being ended (entirely reasonably, I might add), does have me thinking that it would be fun for its spirit to continue on as some kind of 'challenge mode attempts' series where you pick a single slice of some major challenge mode in games you like to see if you can manage it.

Great to see the Halo-Guys playing Halo again!
I have always been curious about LASO as well but this was truly a "we played halo LASO so you don't have to" for me
Whoo! Came for the zombies content, but stayed for the journey through wacky Helldivers 2 moments, the 2 episode LASO journey, and now a Destiny 2 teaser for the future???

Are you familiar with the infinite ammo glitch? It works on all weapons that reload. Also, this is the hardest Laso mission in the series without it so any other mission will be easier for you.
Do ultra nightmare on Doom eternal but since it's a solo game you can both do it and then monitor your progress and see who does it first if they can.
I have played a large chunk of Eternal on nightmare and it was just straight up fun but dying and restarting would be spooky
The only really hard levels that you both will die a lot on is the first five levels because you don't have all of the health upgrades
Oh I’m excited for this one!!
Unless you are going for the achievements, just do laso minus the iron skull. Would still be good entertainment :)
I’m def interested in what you’re gonna do with Destiny/D2!

I thought you guys had just forgotten about this series, I guess I was wrong
I love halo so much that when MW22 happened I made him play though all the halo games we could
If it makes you feel better I think Truth and Reconciliation was the hardest CE LASO level for me.
I now see why this series ended
Made it 3x harder by playing on MCC with the faster physics too, valiant effort. Halo 3 LASO is almost doable on MCC…all games legendary is obviously within your grasp too.
Could bring Ben & one other..? Isn’t Halo 4 player co-op on all/most games?
Took us about a week's time. over many attempts...
I cant tell if thats AI art..
Can you just do the playthrough on legendary or maybe with just a couple of skulls? A less masochistic series is also good entertainment :)
destiny loading icon at the end? I'm intrigued
I despise T&R. The level that kills my legendary runs isn't the Library, it isn't all of Halo 2, it's T&R that immediately makes want to stop playing Halo forever
"As ugly as the old graphics are"
What the hell is wrong with you guys.
“One year, one level”. Only played it for 8 hours 😂 . Any level or game could take years if you play less than an hour a month.
I found LASO in Halo 3, ODST, and Reach a lot easier than this one level.
I said this when episode 1 came out, but I think this series would have been WAYYYYYY more doable if you just played it in reverse order, or at least just the games in reverse order.
You would start off with much easier and player friendly games, then by the time you worked your way up to Halo 2, you would have a really good "feel" for LASO and it would """easier""" to complete them.
And honestly if you just accepted you would have to cheat through part of the level in lieu of a good checkpointing system, even the harder levels wont be that bad and I think the series could have continiued.
But obviously, if you guys werent having fun with it and didnt think it was doable, then yeah quitting was the right choice. We dont want you guys to /actually/ suffer.
Yeah there are definitely some paths we could have taken to continue this journey, but we also like progressing through things in a linear release order way.
But also also, the logistics of editing while trying to maintain the rest of the channel was too much for the two of us. One big time commitment series (Zombies) is enough for the time being.
Awe. I love watching you all suffer too sad this series is gone. Gone too soon
21:26 I remember encountering this a decade ago with CEA and that was the moment that I realized 343 are morons and need to be dissolved as a company entirely
343 didn't make CEA. It was Saber and Certain Affinity.
@@whatiwant8898 you don't know what you're talking about
@Pat4ever. you have Google to fact check me.
@@whatiwant8898 literally Google disagrees with you. just stop talking already
@Pat4ever. 343 was payed to make it and they contracted development out to Saber Interactive. I'm guessing you just looked at what the awful Google AI says where it lists all of the companies with any involvement in it.
"Great" LASO journey
Hey great applies here just fine! Great amounts of suffering, great amounts of swearing, great amounts of regret!
Kings
sounds like a skill issue u guys
Sucks that you guys are giving up entirely. Aside from This one level and... the entirety of Halo 2... the rest of the games as far as I know aren't nearly as bad to play through (completely blanking on my Halo 5 experience), even with Blind Skull disabling the HUD.
If you dont play the LASO campaign playlist, you dont even get the achievement :')
I'm never going to get the achievement 😔
@@defendthehouse TnR is by far the hardest level. Took me and my friend the same time to beat TnR as it did the rest of the game after it lol
apart from the hp gain u get when cheating, i call it a good victory since professional developers arn't capable enough of making a save checkpoint system for two players
Is the thumbnail AI?
I feel like it's genuinely easier to do LASO solo if you want to use checkpoints.
I mean, the Iron skull effectively eliminates checkpoints if you're playing solo
@@Ordolph Iron basically doesn't exist because everyone who does LASO solo uses the save/quit method.
If you can deal with H2A's long load times, Solo is the best way to do the game.
gg
So enjoyed,lylm
Frankly, heroic is enough challenge for me, I just love having fun. My skills are gutter tier and I frankly do not care. I’m just in it for the fun
Listen yall dont even wana know how bad halo 5 laso is (trust me its baaad)
Interesting. I've been curious about that - I presume the Warden fights are particularly unfun. I'll have to look at some gameplay to see what makes it so special
A halo series but using the original tool and completing the game? That caused you to control each other if that's repeatable
honestly now that it's pointed out the thumbnail does look ai. I really hope you all haven't dropped that low to using ai art for thumbnails. I love watching you guys but I'll unsubscribe if that's the situation :/
