This project was over two years in the making, and was made possible by the efforts of everybody at HighSpeedHalo.net and HighImpactHalo.org. The following runners contributed segments to the project; Cody Miller Scurty Goatrope djDAP NOKYARD Louis Wu Explanation of tricks: Sword Flying: this trick is heavily abused throughout the course of the run. Only possible in Halo 2 1.0, you cannot perform this trick if you have updated to play on xbox live, or if you have the Vista version. If you switch from any weapon to the sword while hitting X to cancel the animation, the reticle will stay red for a fraction of a second while the sword comes up enabling you to lunge farther than you could otherwise. This is most useful with weapons like the battle rifle and sniper rifle, but it works with any weapon. Sword Canceling: If you lunge normally with the sword but cancel with X, you keep your velocity while canceling the lunge. You can hold A to rise a bit to continue on past the enemy. Superbouncing: If you jam yourself into a sloped surface, then jump onto a place where two polygons come together, the game thinks you are inside of it and shoots you upward to eject you.

This can include glitches, abusing in-game mechanics and skipping items or even playing events out of sequence. Halo 2 was released on November 9, 2004, as the sequel to one of the biggest games on the original Xbox. The feel of Halo 2 changed a bit from the original, with Legendary difficulty being significantly harder, the dynamics of the weapons changing, and invisible barriers and death volumes set up to prevent the sort of exploration possible in Halo. Still, there are a number of bizarre glitches not present in the original. Combined with interesting level design, they make Halo 2 very well suited to speedrunning, even as a console FPS!
