Noobs: updated H2A's timing rules, added H5 full game rules

In order for you to submit your times to haloruns.com we have a few guidelines we would like for you to follow they are listed below, in some cases rules are different between versions for example Halo 2 Classic rules differ from Halo 2 MCC.

=Fullgame Timing Rules=

==Halo: The Master Chief Collection General Rules==
*No Skulls Enabled
*In game timing (IGT) is only allowed in Halo 2 MCC, Halo 3, and some IL's
*MCC Leader board times are invalid on Haloruns because they use skulls

==Halo: Combat Evolved==
*Real Time Attack (RTA) on PC, RTA Minus loads (subtract loading time) for Console
*Begins at first frame of fade-in on The Pillar of Autumn and ends at last frame of fade-out on The Maw
*"Loading screen" is defined as: First frame of full black after a level-ending cutscene, to last frame before the next cutscene begins.
*Halo: Custom Edition is not allowed on HaloRuns due to ease of cheating. Any kind of external mod or hack such as FOV hack is also banned. This applies to all games.

==Halo 2, Halo 2 MCC==
*Real Time Attack (RTA)
*Begins at first frame of fade-in on The Armory and ends at last frame of fade-out on The Great Journey.
*Skulls are allowed if they are collected and become active during the run. This only applies to Halo 2 classic - in any game where skulls are selected through the menu (such as MCC), they are banned in fullgame and IL runs.
*MCC timing can subtract loads between levels. Cutscenes and in-level loads are still counted.

==Halo 3, Halo:Reach==
*RTA Minus Loads (Theater Films)

==Halo 3 ODST, ODST MCC==
*ODST runs must start on Prepare to Drop
*You are allowed to have [http://imgur.com/MucBAAm audio logs] unlocked prior to the run.
*Xbox 360 version of the game uses In-game timer and adding up theater times
*Master Chief Collection ODST uses RTA Minus Loads

==Halo 4==
*Real Time Attack (RTA)
*Begins at first frame of fade-in on Dawn and ends at last input (activate nuke).

==Halo 5: Guardians==
*Runners on the newest patch will be able to use the sum of in game times for full game runs. Individual level runs will allow in game time as well. The time that should be submitted is the time that is displayed on the score report after the missions.
*Runners on the patch before the In Game Timer will still use the sum of individual levels for full game. To keep consistent with the in game timer of later patches, old patch runners are allowed to subtract mid level cutscenes from the individual levels.
*Time each individual level using the Individual Level Timing Rules for Halo 5 listed below, and add them up. As with any other fullgame run, the game must be played through in order from beginning to end, without excessive pausing or other timing manipulation
*Meridian Station, Alliance, and Before the Storm are also counted in fullgame runs. Timing for the levels starts at the first frame of fade-in and end at the last frame of fade-out.
*As with other fullgame runs, the ending cutscene and credits sequence must be able to trigger for the game to be considered complete. Runs that softlock before the credits are not considered valid.
*Save and quit is allowed

=Individual Level (IL) Timing Rules=

Outskirts

2016-09-21T07:54:51Z

Noobs:

{{Level Infobox
| title = Outskirts
| image = [[File:Outskirts.jpg|300px]]
| caption = Over the rooftops and through the beach...
| game = Halo 2
| time = Easy: ~x:xx Legendary: sub-5:00
| previous = [[Cairo Station]]
| next = [[Metropolis]]
}}

'''Outskirts''' is the third playable level in [[Halo 2]]. See [http://www.halopedia.org/Outskirts Halopedia] for general information.

==The Strats==

===The Rooftops===
The first thing you want to do is get out of bounds. Grenade-jump onto the steel beam, then jump up to the ledge.
*If you have difficulty with the first grenade jump, an alternate (slower) strategy is to go into the tunnel and jump on top of one of the lights, then crouch-jump onto the ramped ledge. Once on the roof, turn around and crouch-jump/nade-jump onto the ledge.
Follow the route in the world record video and head over the rooftops to Hotel Zanzibar. If you miss a jump, there's usually a slower backup route.
====''On legendary''====
The first thing you do should be to turn around and grab the sniper rifle from Johnson. Then proceed to the rooftops.

* If you do not wish to carry over weapons to Metropolis, note this strategy may be substituted with the easy strategy of simply going to the rooftops. You can prevent weapon carryover later into the level.

===Hotel Zanzibar===
====''On easy''====
Grab the pistol from just inside the window. Wasting its ammo does not affect whether it carries your weapons and grenades over to Metropolis, because the pistol does not spawn anywhere on Metropolis, so you will get a brand new set of weapons. This is beneficial, as you will always spawn with four grenades, which can make Metropolis much easier. Head towards the ghost near the crashed pelican that is on the beach.

====''On legendary''====

When dropping back into bounds at Hotel Zanzibar, anger the white elite until he pulls out a sword. The sniper can stun him if he's not cooperating. Backsmack him while he's raging and trade your second weapon for the sword. You should now have sniper+sword. Sword-cancel over the enemies in the hotel and get to the ghost.

In a full game run, it helps to have at least 2 frags for Metro. You can sometimes pick up frags from the dead sergeant and by killing a marine.

* If you do not wish to carry over weapons to Metropolis, grab the pistol after angering the white elite into pulling out his sword. You should now have sword + magnum. Using magnum ammo does not matter, as the weapon does not spawn on Metropolis.

===The Beach===
Boost the Ghost through the next section. Use quickturning (LT+A) to make tight turns without losing much speed. If you are have trouble squeezing between the wall and the shipping container, you want to try to get your right wing in first. This is done by going slightly to the right and then tapping 'A' to raise the front right as you get there.
====''On legendary''====
A safer strategy for the shipping container is to park the ghost at the far wall, get out and snipe the grunt on the turret, as well as the Jackal in the tower. Then continue to boost through the level. If you skipped the sniper, park the ghost and wait for the grunt to get off the turret, then take the opportunity to boost through. This is riskier and slower.
===The Tunnels===
The Shadows will switch lanes and generally force you to juke them, losing time. To avoid that, start riding the ledge just before you reach them.
====''On legendary''====

Travel forwards into the first tunnel to trigger a Warthog to spawn behind you, then switch your Ghost for the Warthog. If the marine driver is in a certain animation when he gets out, he'll get in the passenger seat right away (#MagicMarine). Make sure to bring both Marines - they will draw fire and let you survive. Ride the ledges on the sides of the road to avoid enemies and stay safe.

The Silent Cartographer

| image = [[File:TheSilentCartographerfixed.JPG|300px]]

| game = [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]
| time = Easy/Legendary: 4:30
| previous = [[The Truth and Reconciliation]]
| next = [[Assault on the Control Room]]
}}

'''The Silent Cartographer''' (often abbreviated '''SC''') is the fourth campaign level in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. See [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/The_Silent_Cartographer Halopedia] for general information.

Halo Runs record page: http://www.haloruns.com/records?lb=104 (click the timestamps for video links)

==Video Examples==
Examples of every trick mentioned here can be found on either the [http://haloruns.com/records?lb=104 Individual Records] page or [http://haloruns.com/records?lb=100 Full Game Records] page.

==Getting the Warthog==
As the level starts off and lets you out of the Pelican, immediately head left away from combat and run around the island. Soon you will see a warthog. Use a grenade to tip it upright and hop in, continuing around the island. Grenade is swag strats but also a bit faster, go for it regardless no negative effect.
===''On legendary''===
You should pick up the overshield by the crates before you get in the Warthog. This will help you to survive until the door skip easier.

==Security Door Skip==
Once you reach the main building, drive your warthog in and proceed towards the door. There are a few ways to prevent the door closing on you.

*You can warthog fling into the door before it closes.
*If you miss the fling, you can clip above the door. Park the Warthog parallel to and right up against the door. Enter/exit the vehicle and adjust its position until you clip out of bounds. You will know
*The last way to simply jam the Warthog into the door itself. You need to be centered on the door from the top of the ramp and drive, full speed, strait at it. The Hog will be stuffed halfway into the frame and you can exit out. If you use this strat, when on your way back up top, you'll have to re-enter the vehicle and exit again to get back outside.
If you did the skip, jump around the gold Elite. Fire your weapon as you walk onto the platform to skip the Shafted cutscene. Keep in mind you will not get a checkpoint if you skip the cutscene.

==Cartographer Drop==
Fall off the back of the platform and crouch as you are about the hit to minimize damage, proceed down the ramp and jump off again hitting the over shield on landing to take no damage.
If you jump, activate the console, and spam enter you will skip the cutscene here and keep your forward momentum

==Cartographer Cutscene Teleport (Co-Op Only)==
One player positions themselves near the top platform, but does not activate the 'Shafted' cutscene yet. The other player falls from the third level ledge, by the two dead marines, to the normal ramped walkway
below. From there fall onto the overshield below and kill the two elites near the console before activating it. Activate both the 'Shafted' and map room cutscenes at the same time. Both players may be teleported to the top of the platform if done perfect.

'''If it looks like you have been teleported to the map room, do not revert. Instead just wait two to three seconds, before the screen fades white for a moment, teleporting you both to the top platform.'''

==Ascent - Nade Jump==
Run past the elites and head straight, here is a harder grenade jump that will allow you to save a few seconds and grab a active cloak
The more consistent path is to head right as you reach the room, and head up the ramp though it is slower
===''On legendary''===
After activating the console, throw a frag down the hallway to get both elites attentions, then assassinate both of them.

The grenade jump to get the cloak is highly recommended, as you can skip almost all the remaining fights in this section.

==Ascent - Jackal Room==
The next room has a small jumping skip, jump on top of the "boxes" in front of the door you exit and then jump to the left platform using a pillar as a stopping point for the second part of the jump

Proceed to run out and skip the gold sword elite on your way out, and continue to the surface and wait for pickup.
===''On legendary''===

Once you leave, take the warthog back up the ramp, and drive out of the building off the metal deck. Then proceed around to the right and back up, this buys enough time for the pelican to come so you don't die.

Halo 2

2016-05-06T18:01:12Z

Noobs:

Halo 2 is one of the more technical speedruns in the series. With the addition of glitches such as sword flying and sword canceling, movement in Halo 2 is much faster than Halo 1. However, Glitches can also work against you, as there are several run-killing glitches that can occur.

Halo 2 legendary is absolutely brutal. It is recommended that you be familiar with both the speedrunning tricks and casual play on legendary before attempting to speedrun it.

Halo 2 is mostly identical between NTSC and PAL, with the exception of one clip on Arbiter that saves about 10 seconds on PAL. You should run the 1.0 version on 360 to reduce lag, and for the smaller controller (helps swordflying). Halo 2 Vista (the PC version) is slower due to sword flying being patched, and the addition of loading screens between levels. However, it should still be possible to get a sub-1:35 time.

==Movement Techniques==

===Sword Flying===
{{#ev:youtube|GNLvuECAfbY|300|right|Two handed sword flying demo, by scurty.}}
Sword flying lets you lunge towards enemies across long distances. Unlike the normal limit on the sword's lunge distance, sword flying allows you to cover vast distances at high speed.

via scurty:
: First off, you need to make sure you have two things: The Xbox Live update NOT installed and a sword with another weapon of your choice.
: Sword flying is a simple three button combination that is quick to master because it has a rhythm to it. '''The button combination goes in this order: (Y) (X) (Right Trigger)''' The first two are hit in rapid succession (usually by the sliding of your thumb) while the third button is hit slower than the first two are spaced apart. Watch the video to hear how it sounds.
: '''Your reticule must be red''' for this to work on your gun when you switch to your sword (by pressing Y). You also don't have to be zoomed if if you don't want to, although in most cases you will be zoomed in.
Most people find it easier to swordfly with an Xbox 360 controller than with an Xbox controller. To swordfly with one hand, slide your thumb from Y to X, then press R. Alternatively, you can swordfly while clawing by rolling your index finger from Y to X, then pressing R with your middle finger. This allows you to aim while preparing to swordfly.
'''If an enemy is standing still, you will be able to swordfly over its head and past it.''' If it is moving, the swordfly will stop when it is above the enemy's original position.

The Rocket Launcher is one of the most useful weapons to swordfly with, because it has a large reticule and 2x scope, and turns red at fairly long distances without much aiming.

===Sword Canceling===

Sword canceling is a movement technique. In its simplest form, sword canceling is the ability to "cancel" the effects of a sword lunge. If you press R to lunge, you can press X (Reload) to cancel the impact of the lunge any time before it hits.

This can be utilized to travel long distances in tight quarters. To swordcancel past an enemy, press R+X+A simultaneously (Fire+Reload+Jump). R+X will perform the sword cancel, and jumping will make you rise in height as you lunge, thus letting you fly through the air.

To swordcancel over an enemy's head, press A, then R+X+A simultaneously. The first jump gives you height to get over the enemy.

===Ghost Wheelie/Quickturn===
While boosting in a Ghost, hold A to lean back and raise the nose of the Ghost. This lets you turn more sharply while maintaining your boost. It also makes you prone to flipping, so be careful.

Holding A can also be useful for getting enough air on certain jumps.

===Superbouncing===
Superbouncing is a variation of a pressure launch. If the player model intersects with the geometry, the game will apply a large amount of force to try and push the player out. By going into auto-crouch, you can glitch the player model. Then when you jump on a polygon seam, you will intersect, and the game will push you out. Superbounces differ between PAL and NTSC, because different framerates means different intervals for collision detection.

The only place superbouncing is useful is as a method to board the Scarab early in [[Metropolis]].

===Melee Boost===
http://www.twitch.tv/ranabundana/c/4491742

Button Combo: B-X, X-B, Y-B, B-Y
Keep your crosshair over the enemy so you fly past him (crouching helps a lot). It can be timed perfectly but it may be easier to spam the required buttons.

==Combat Techniques==

===Double Shot===

By pressing Fire twice and then Reload (RRX), you can fire two Battle Rifle bursts in quick succession. The timing of X is around when the last bullet of the first burst is fired. After the doubleshot, the BR will reload itself, unless you perform another doubleshot.

You can chain together doubleshots by tapping YY to switch away and back to the BR. With the right timing, you can double shot until the clip is empty - RRX YY RRX YY etc.

===Double Grenade===
Fire a plasma pistol overcharge. When the overheat bar is at halfway, quickly tap L twice. You should throw two grenades in quick succession. This is useful for some launches, such as the [[Delta Halo]] Ghost launch.

You can also double nade with a beam rifle overheat, but the timing is different.

===Double Melee===
In addition to the BLB method from Halo CE, you can also do BXB or BYB to melee twice in quick succession. It's not as useful for speedrunning due to the low melee damage of Halo 2 1.0.

===Quick Reload===
After a certain point in the reload animation (usually after the clip is in the weapon), the weapon counts as reloaded. At this point, you can cancel the rest of the animation by pressing YY to quickly switch away and back to your main weapon. If you are only carrying one weapon, you can melee and hit X to cancel the melee. When using a scoped weapon, it can be faster to zoom out by pressing YY. You can press YY after a sword lunge as well.

==Enemies==
In Halo 2, some enemy types were added.

===Elites===
Ultra Elites are known for their raw firepower and strong shielding. They will usually pull out a sword when you close the distance, this is a good opportunity for a backsmack or grenade stick. However, be very careful of dual-wielding Ultras. They are some of the most dangerous enemies in the game.

Jetpack Elites are usually dual-wielding Plasma Rifles. Generally, you want to home in on them with a plasma pistol overcharge or snipe them with a ranged weapon. Their shields are weaker than normal Elites, a sword lunge will do them in if you can close the distance.

Stealth Elites have the weakest shields of any Elite but this is compensated for by their fast shield recharge rate, which makes them extremely durable. Like all cloaked enemies, they do not turn the reticule red. In all instances upon spawning, they will be briefly uncloaked so you can get a sword fly off of them. You can force them to uncloak by shooting them. A sniper weapon has enough stunning power to keep them immobilized. Melee attacks are also a good way of de-camoing enemies, as well as stunning them. A sword lunge will either kill them or remove their shield completely. Getting them caught in a grenade explosion can expose them.

Zealots are rare in Halo 2, and only appear in a few locations, such as Hangar B in [[Cairo Station]], the tunnels on [[Metropolis]], and the last enemy on [[Gravemind]]. They always spawn with swords but their shield isn't different from a blue Elite.

===Flood===
Infection Forms in Halo 2 do a lot of damage, especially against unshielded players. Don't try to melee them with anything but the sword, as your melee range is nerfed from Halo: Combat Evolved. They can glitch out and refuse to pop when they hit you. This wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that they do damage ''per frame'' - aka one-shot you. It's advisable to keep distance.

Carrier Forms are also very damaging, although their movement has been nerfed from Halo: Combat Evolved. Also, they deploy fewer Infection Forms than before. A fast killing method is to make it fall down and stick it with a plasma grenade, but there's a small window of time for the stick.

Combat Form whips have weird properties, sometimes they can gain the ability to assassinate you. Again, keep distance. You should destroy dead Combat Forms so they won't be re-animated by Infection Forms.

===Other Enemies===
Heretic Grunts almost always have Needlers. Their projectiles can easily hit you, even when you're behind cover, due to the large hitboxes.

Fuel Rod Grunts can hit you through thin walls, again due to the hitboxes. Fortunately, there is no longer a kill switch on their weapons.

Jackal Snipers are MLG on Legendary. They can easily snipe you out of your seat when driving a Ghost or Hog.

Most Brutes can tear through shields in an instant with their weapons. Best to keep your distance. Having a sword or brute shot can make a huge difference in close encounters. Stick them when you can, especially when they berserk. Dual-wielding Needlers is also efficient though rarely used.

On Legendary, any encounter with a shotgun wielding enemy will prove fatal, they have extraordinary range with their shots.

Tricks

2015-08-14T20:40:51Z

Noobs: Created page with "If you are new to Halo speedrunning, these are some tricks, techniques and game mechanics that are widely applicable to the Halo series. = Basic Tricks = ==Combat Techniques..."

If you are new to Halo speedrunning, these are some tricks, techniques and game mechanics that are widely applicable to the Halo series.

= Basic Tricks =

==Combat Techniques==
===Playing Claw===
[[File:How2Claw.png|thumbnail|right|How to claw.]]
Playing Claw allows you aim and press buttons at the same time. Use your index finger for the face buttons and middle finger for right trigger. For certain control schemes, this allows the player to keep their thumb on the joystick while doing other things, such as jumping, sprinting, or using equipment. Note that this is not an in-game trick.

===Noob Combo===
The Noob Combo is the utilization of a weapon combination to take down enemies very quickly. This combination requires a Plasma Pistol and any weapon capable of killing unshielded enemies with a single headshot, such as the Pistol, Battle Rifle, DMR, Carbine, Needle Rifle or Light Rifle.

Upon approaching a shielded enemy, such as Elites and Brutes, charge the Plasma Pistol and shoot at your target. If the shot hits, the enemy's shields will be depleted. Switch to the headshot weapon and shoot the enemy in the head. This will result in a quick kill.

Some enemies may require more effort to kill with the Noob Combo. Brute Chieftains in Halo 3 cannot die to a headshot unless their helmets are removed; therefore, it will take multiple shots from a Battle Rifle or Carbine to kill an unshielded Chieftain. In Halo 4 Legendary, higher ranks of Elites sometimes require a second charged shot from your Plasma Pistol, making it more difficult to kill them.

===Distraction Grenades===
Grenades can be used to manipulate enemies and to force them to do certain things. Because Grenades are recognized as a high-level threat from the artificial intelligence, enemies will attempt to dodge them frequently. This can be used to clear a path through the enemies or to force them into a certain position, such as near locked doors on [[The Truth and Reconciliation]]. If enemies have not spotted the player when he throws a grenade, the enemies will tend to go to the site of the explosion. This can be used to distract enemies as well.

In Halo: Combat Evolved, if enemies see the grenade before spotting the player, they will simply look at the grenade and remain stationary. This tactic can be used to distract enemies or to get a stealthy kill on them.

===Ally Damage Sponges===
When riding vehicles, having allies riding as passengers will provide defensive bonuses for the player. Instead of the player taking 100% of incoming damage, the damage will be distributed among the player and passengers. This tactic can allow players to survive heavy damage from enemies, especially on [[Outskirts]] and [[Tsavo Highway]] on Legendary Difficulty.

Certain NPC (Johnson in Halo 2 and 3, Arbiter in Halo 3, Buck in ODST, and Noble Team in Reach) are either able to revive after dying or are unkillable. You can take advantage of this trait by letting them engage and distract enemies.

===Melee Stun===
When hitting an enemy with a melee, the enemy will often stagger, rendering the enemy harmless for a few seconds. While the enemy is staggered, the player can run past it or sometimes run behind it to assassinate it.

Most enemies stagger from a melee, but some enemies can resist staggering, particularly Brutes in Halo 2 and Knights in Halo 4.

This tactic is not effective in Halo 3: ODST, particularly on Brutes, since the character does not apply a sufficient force to stun them.

===Plasma Pistol Stun===
The Plasma Pistol can stagger enemies for 1-2 seconds with a charged shot. In Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo: Reach, and Halo 4, a charged Plasma Pistol shot can stun most enemies. In Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 3: ODST, however, the charged shot will only stun shielded enemies as a charged shot deals no damage to unshielded enemies.

===Early Reload===
Upon emptying a clip of any weapon, the player can start reloading a few frames early by hitting Action/Reload as soon as the last shot of the clip is fired.

===Reload Cancel===
Reloading can be done slightly quicker to save time in combat. To do this, melee or press Y twice after the character puts the new clip in the weapon during the reload animation in Halo: Combat Evolved or Halo 2. In Halo 3 and onwards, press Y twice after the clip completely refills on the HUD.

==Movement Techniques==
===Grenade Jumping===
Grenade jumping is a jumping technique used to gain extra height from a jump. In order to do this, throw a grenade at the ground near your feet. Then, jump slightly before the grenade explodes. The resulting explosion will propel your character, giving extra height to reach areas inaccessible from normal jumps.

Frag grenades are generally preferred in most of the games as they have a greater explosion radius and deal less damage to the player. However, plasma grenades are sometimes preferred in Halo: Combat Evolved as they deal less damage in that game. In Halo 3 and onward, Plasma Grenades deal a very high amount of damage and can kill the player even from full shields and health. Spike grenades and Firebomb grenades do not work for grenade jumping as their explosions do not provide sufficient force to propel the player. Grenade jumping with a Plasma grenade in Halo 4 is extremely difficult as the explosion has a small radius but usually kills the player, even from full shields. Pulse grenades do not work for grenade jumps due to the lack of a propelling force from the explosion.

There are certain weapons that can be used as a substitute for grenades as their projectiles explode. The Brute Shot in Halo 2 and Halo 3 provide slightly less of a propelling force than a Frag grenade, but it deals less damage to the player. In Halo: Reach and Halo 4, the Concussion Rifle can be used as it provides a greater propelling force than grenades and deals much less damage to the player. The Fuel Rod Cannon can also be used; it provides similar propelling force as a grenade and deals slightly less damage to the player than a Frag grenade. Using a Rocket Launcher to jump is very dangerous as the splash damage often kills the player.

===Crouch Jumping===
By crouching at the top of a jump, you can pull your feet up, increasing the distance between the ground and your character. This allows your character to reach ledges that would be inaccessible to normal jumps.

===Slide Jumping===
Slide jumping is a movement technique that can be utilized to move quickly. This trick is fairly simple; while falling onto sloped terrain or slanted objects, jump as soon as your character makes contact with the terrain or object. Your character will bounce off the terrain/object and convert your character's downward velocity into forward velocity.

===Enemy Boosts===
Enemy melee attacks apply a force to anything they hit. The player can utilize this to get a propelling force from the enemy. In order to do this, purposely get hit by an enemy's melee to get pushed away from the enemy.

On Legendary, enemies deal a significant amount of damage; it is very risky to use this as a time-saving tactic.

===Reducing Fall Damage / Resetting Fall Timer===
In Halo, there are two ways to die by falling. The first is to take too much damage from impact with the ground. The second is to be killed by a fall timer - if you fall for too long, you'll die.

Crouching at exactly the right moment can reduce fall damage. However, crouching at the wrong moment can increase it. In Halo CE you can crouch before a landing and reduce the damage. Reach, and 4, you you can hit a slope while crouched to reduce fall damage.

In Halo 2, you can reset the fall timer by corner riding or sword flying . In Halo 3, you can sometimes save yourself with a hammer swing, equipment jump, or by exiting a vehicle right before you land. Besides equipment jump, the same applies to ODST.

==Game-specific Tricks==

===Backpack Reloading (Halo: Combat Evolved)===
Backpack reloading allows the player to reload one weapon while using his other weapon. This trick allows for optimized damage output in combat as the player can constantly keep shooting. To do this trick, tap Action/Reload twice and switch to your other weapon. Your weapon will automatically reload as you use your other weapon.

===Trading Weapons With Arbiter or Johnson (Halo 3)===
The Arbiter and Sgt. Johnson are main characters of Halo 3; therefore, the game will not allow the player to trade weapons with them by conventional means. In order to trade weapons with either one of them, the player must "kill" them and swap weapons near their bodies. If there aren't any enemies around, they will get back up and pick up the dropped weapon.

===Hammer Boost (Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST)===
The Gravity Hammer applies a propelling force when used. While moving, the player can look backwards, jump, and start swinging the Hammer to launch himself faster towards his destination.

===Muscle Running (Halo 4)===
Muscle Running essentially grants the player infinite sprint. While sprinting, jump and melee. Before you hit the ground, tap sprint, and you will continue sprinting.

Muscle Running utilizes the mechanics of how sprint recharges in Halo 4. When the player stops sprinting, his sprint will start recharging the instant that he stops sprinting, meaning the player can immediately sprint after stopping. However, if the player jumps, he will maintain his forward velocity, though he is still sprinting while mid-air. Therefore, in order to end the sprint before hitting the ground, a melee is used to end the sprint mid-air so the player's sprint starts recharging before he hits the ground. Once the player hits the ground, he can start sprinting again.

==Miscellaneous Tricks==
===Weapon Juggling===
Weapon Juggling is a simple trick that allows players to transport weapons. When swapping weapons, the player will drop his current weapon and throw it with a small forward velocity. By repeatedly swapping weapons, the player can essentially carry three weapons at a time. This trick is simple to do; repeatedly swap weapons with Action/Reload while moving forward.

===Checkpoint Delay===
[[File:CP Delay.gif|thumbnail|right|This player delays the checkpoint from the top of the ramp to the end of the hallway.]]

Checkpoints can be delayed by jumping or meleeing. While this does not initially save time, if the player dies, they can save a few seconds.

Note that in Halo: Combat Evolved, checkpoints work differently than in other games. Checkpoints can be delayed by jumping, throwing a grenade, and shooting with the Banshee or Ghost.

= Advanced Tricks =

The following are tricks that are more difficult to do.

===Flood Bump(Halo: Combat Evolved)===

===Superbounces (Halo 2)===
Superbounces are a glitch that involves intersecting the player's hitbox with another object's hitbox. Because the collision system will not allow two objects to be within one another, the game will try to separate the two entities. If the player intersects himself with terrain, the game will detect an error with the collision and try to eject the player from the terrain, and this can result in the player being launched a far distance from the terrain.

===Swordflying (Halo 2)===
[[File:Sword Fly.gif|thumbnail|right|This player uses a Brute to Swordfly a considerable distance.]]
Swordflying is an advanced movement technique that allows players to Sword-lunge an enemy from long distances. This is a frame-specific trick, meaning all required actions must be done within one frame.

To Swordfly, aim at an enemy with a ranged weapon, such as the Rocket Launcher or Beam Rifle. Have the target reticule turn red and press the button combo Y-X-R (Switch Weapon - Action/Reload - Fire Right Weapon) in one frame. If done correctly, the player will lunge at the enemy from long range.

===Deployable Cover Launch (Halo 3)===
A Deployable Cover launch works similarly to a Superbounce in the sense that the player glitches himself in an object and launches himself very far afterwards. This glitch can send players across long distances, but it is dangerous as the landing can kill the player.

This trick requires a Deployable Cover. To do this glitch, look down, jump, deploy the Deployable Cover after the apex of the jump, and crouch when you land. This should result in the player crouching in the deployed cover. After this, move forward very slowly, remain in the middle of the Deployable Cover, and the game engine will launch the player forward at a very high speed.

A detailed video tutorial can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRbdBCNFO_Q here].

===Equipment Jumping (Halo 3)===

Certain equipment have a hitbox that allows players to utilize for a second jump in midair. This trick is actually fairly simple to do. While in midair, look down, deploy the equipment, and jump. You will perform an extra jump immediately after the equipment has been used.

The following equipment can be used for Equipment Jumping:
*Auto-Turret
*Deployable Cover
*Flare (Chief only)
*Power Drain (Elites only)
*Radar Jammer
*Trip Mine

===Hammer Launching (Halo 3, Halo Reach, Halo 4)===
[[File:HammerLaunch.gif|thumbnail|right|Example of a Hammer Launch.]]
The Gravity Hammer can cause various objects to spin rapidly when the player hits the object with the hammer. If the player is in contact with this object, the spin of this object will push the player with a large amount of force. Players can use this to launch across large distances in a short amount of time.

For most objects, the player can walk up towards the object, jump, and press RT to swing the Gravity Hammer. Different objects will require the player to aim differently or to move differently with the object. For example, players will need to aim just above a small cubical box to launch whereas a Covenant Weapons Crate requires the player to aim at the box.

Halo: Combat Evolved

2015-07-18T21:56:17Z

Noobs: changed some grammar, added link to halopedia for general game info

Halo CE, also known as Halo 1, has a few major skips, but most of the tricks are smaller and involve manipulating spawns and optimizing combat. The AotCR bridge fall and the Keyes shield bump are the most essential tricks to learn, as they both skip major parts of levels. Otherwise, learn the route by watching the WR video or checking out one of the [[tutorials|Tutorials]].

While Easy has a greater focus on efficient tricks, Legendary is heavily combat-intensive. Some say you should start with Easy, and switch to Legendary if you want more emphasis on fighting, others say to start with legendary then easy will be really easy.

See [http://www.halopedia.org/Halo:_Combat_Evolved halopedia] for general game information.

==Level Strategies==
*[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo CE)]]
*[[Halo (Halo CE)]]
*[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]
*[[The Silent Cartographer]]
*[[Assault on the Control Room]]
*[[343 Guilty Spark]]
*[[The Library]]
*[[Two Betrayals]]
*[[Keyes]]
*[[The Maw]]

==Version Differences==
Halo PC is the most commonly used version for speedrunning. It has greatly reduced loading time between levels (although these loads are not counted in the time anyway). More importantly, it has no lag during in-level loadzones. The aiming is more precise due to the mouse, although there is significantly less autoaim on PC.

Halo CE on console is timed by RTA minus loading screens. This means that most of the disparity between console and PC is accounted for, although PC is still slightly faster due to less lag. If running on console, you should run the NTSC disk on an Xbox 360 to minimize lag. Do not run PAL, as walking speed is ~17.5% slower. The Anniversary edition is the same as PC, although some cutscene skips may be slightly slower. The Marketplace version is identical to NTSC.

==Movement Techniques==

===Walking Speed Optimization===
Walking directly forward is the fastest way to move in Halo CE by a small margin. Strafing and backpedalling are both 12% slower than walking straight forwards, while moving diagonally forward (W+A or W+D) is 5% slower than walking forwards. Because of this, it is optimal to move with only W (forward on joystick) whenever possible.

===Vehicle Flinging===

Turn the Warthog from left to right and exit the vehicle. If you time it properly, the rear-left tire of the Warthog should hit you, launching you forward. It is used on [[Halo (Halo CE)|Halo]], where you can fling into the Forerunner complex much faster than walking into the tunnels. It is also useful for getting through the first Silent Cartographer door before it closes and locks.

You can also fling using a Ghost. Since Master Chief exits the Ghost on the right side in Halo CE, you have to turn from right to left.

==Combat Techniques==

===Backpack Reloading===

By pressing Reload-Reload-Switch Weapon (XXY on console), you can have your secondary weapon out while your primary weapon reloads itself. You should hear the reloading noise while your secondary weapon is equipped. You should pretty much always be backpack reloading.

===Double Melee===

To double-melee in Halo CE, press Melee-Grenade-Melee (BLB on console). You will be able to cancel the melee animation by throwing a grenade and melee again.

==Enemies==
The main enemies in Halo CE are the Covenant and the Flood. Special care should be taken for the following:

===Elites===
Red Elites (Majors) are stronger and more accurate than blue Elites (Minors). Cyan Elites (Stealth) are completely unshielded and often easy to detect, the sniper puts them down quickly. Gold Elites (Zealots) you encounter during a speedrun only have swords, and they have much stronger shields than normal Elites; their tenacity is unmatched. Silver Elites (Spec Ops) are prone to throwing grenades when they are engaged and likewise have stronger shields, but their biggest threat is the amount of grenades they leave behind, you can kill them with 2 shotgun shots and a melee. The easiest way to kill any elites is the [[Basic_Tricks#Noob_Combo|noob combo]].

===Fuel Rod Grunts===
In Halo CE, Spec Ops Grunts have a kill switch on their Fuel Rod Guns - it will blow up shortly after they die. Be careful of possible grenade chain reactions.

===Rocket Flood===
Nasty buggers. Stay away from them. They will snipe you from long range, especially on [[Two Betrayals]].

Halo: Combat Evolved

2015-04-15T05:56:51Z

Noobs:

Halo CE, also known as Halo 1, has a few major skips, but most of the tricks are smaller and involve manipulating spawns and optimizing combat. The AotCR bridge drop and the Keyes shield bump are the most essential tricks to learn, as they both skip major parts of levels. Otherwise, learn the route by watching the WR video or checking out one of the [[tutorials|Tutorials]].

While Easy has a greater focus on efficient tricks, Legendary is heavily combat-intensive. You should start with Easy, and switch to Legendary if you want more emphasis on fighting.

==Level Strategies==

==Version Differences==
Halo PC is the most commonly used version for speedrunning. It has greatly reduced loading time between levels (although these loads are not counted in the time anyway). More importantly, it has no lag during in-level loadzones. The aiming is more precise due to the mouse, although there is significantly less autoaim on PC.

Halo CE on console is timed by RTA minus loading screens. This means that most of the disparity between console and PC is accounted for, although PC is still slightly faster due to less lag. If running on console, you should run the NTSC disk on an Xbox 360 to minimize lag. Do not run PAL, as walking speed is ~17.5% slower. The Anniversary edition is the same as PC, although some cutscene skips may be slightly slower. The Marketplace version is identical to NTSC.

==Movement Techniques==

===Walking Speed Optimization===
Walking directly forward is the fastest way to move in Halo CE by a small margin. Strafing and backpedalling are both 12% slower than walking straight forwards, while moving diagonally forward (W+A or W+D) is 5% slower than walking forwards. Because of this, it is optimal to move with only W (forward on joystick) whenever possible.

===Vehicle Flinging===

Turn the Warthog from left to right and exit the vehicle. If you time it properly, the rear-left tire of the Warthog should hit you, launching you forward. It is used on [[Halo (Halo CE)|Halo]], where you can fling into the Forerunner complex much faster than walking into the tunnels. It is also useful for getting through the first Silent Cartographer door before it closes and locks.

You can also fling using a Ghost. Since Master Chief exits the Ghost on the right side in Halo CE, you have to turn from right to left.

==Combat Techniques==

===Backpack Reloading===

By pressing Reload-Reload-Switch Weapon (XXY on console), you can have your secondary weapon out while your primary weapon reloads itself. You should hear the reloading noise while your secondary weapon is equipped. You should pretty much always be backpack reloading.

===Double Melee===

To double-melee in Halo CE, press Melee-Grenade-Melee (BLB on console). You will be able to cancel the melee animation by throwing a grenade and melee again.

==Enemies==
The main enemies in Halo CE are the Covenant and the Flood. Special care should be taken for the following:

===Elites===
Red Elites (Majors) are stronger and more accurate than blue Elites (Minors). Cyan Elites (Stealth) are completely unshielded and often easy to detect, the sniper puts them down quickly. Gold Elites (Zealots) you encounter during a speedrun only have swords, and they have much stronger shields than normal Elites; their tenacity is unmatched. Silver Elites (Spec Ops) are prone to throwing grenades when they are engaged and likewise have stronger shields, but their biggest threat is the amount of grenades they leave behind.

===Fuel Rod Grunts===
In Halo CE, Spec Ops Grunts have a kill switch on their Fuel Rod Guns - it will blow up shortly after they die. Be careful of possible grenade chain reactions.

===Rocket Flood===
Nasty buggers. Stay away from them. They will snipe you from long range, especially on [[Two Betrayals]].

==Rock Grenade Jump==
{{#ev:youtube|tb5h_JeMjyY|300|right|Rock Grenade Jump by ericlol.}}
As the level starts run towards the river and use the big rock to jump on a rock ledge, then grenade jump to the cliff above. This saves about 5 seconds skips the first enemy spawn up ahead as well as the Banshees.

On Easy you may want to run across the bridge instead, especially if you are inconsistent with grenade jumps or just starting out. The grenade jump is much more important on Legendary due to the skipped enemy spawns.

==The Base==

Once you reach the base, assist the marines with killing the first drop ship spawn. Once the enemies are dead, kill all of the marines and proceed to the next drop ship on the other side of the base. Killing the marines skips dialogue and means you don't have to wait for them to evac.

You should probably save frags for the 3rd dropship to kill the elite, and the 5th dropship for the ease of killing the spawn. Once you have killed all dropship spawns grab the warthog and get the marine out of the turret and then continue along the intended route.

==The Light Bridge==

At the bridge segment, use the warthog or a fling to jump on the slanted wall heading up to the console, this will skip a cutscene and instantly start the bridge. Proceed out of the natural caves and stop by the escape pod on your way to the left most spawn to pick up a sniper rifle for later.

===On legendary===

Before getting into the warthog it is recommended to grab a needler. When you go to activate the light bridge throw 2 plasmas down the intended hallway behind you and fire the needler to kill the two elites that are added on legendary.

==Forerunner Complex==

Through the next areas, you will be killing marines. Be careful about causing the marines to go red - if this happens the level will complete more slowly than normally.

Once you reach the first marine spawn, go inside and kill the marines, proceed towards the next spawn located at the cliffs.

==Rockslide==

Before heading into the rocks, pick off the sniper located above the marines. Finish off the remaining marine spawn and head towards the last group.

===On legendary===
Instead of killing all the marines, drive around the right side in the warthog and reach the top where the marines are holding off. Kill all but the sniper and one other, and allow them to get into the warthog, you will use them at the next base as an efficient way to kill the enemy spawns.

==Hill==

Before entering their area, pause on the hill for the prompt to search for remaining life boats to save time. Drive up to the marines to trigger the area, then proceed to kill the enemy spawn and the dropship that comes afterwards.
