I was just wondering if anyone on here has ever tried it, and/or filmed. I was thinking after I get all the skulls to try it. I know the H2 Legendary campaign was super hard to start with but I am thinking about starting on easy, then going to normal, ect.
If anyone has done this before, do you have any tips? I would also love to try a Halo 2 Mythic run. But that would be near impossible.Lots have tried, all have died. Several people have said they beat it SLASO but did not offer proof. Some of the best players on the planet have tried and failed. Even the guy who beat H3 SLASO had no success. The guy who beat Legendary (not segmented) without dying once has not done it SLASO.
Beating H2 SLASO would be the single greatest accomplishment the game has to offer. Major credits to the guy who could prove it. If someone says they did it with no proof they would be dismissed and ridiculed so if you attempt this greatest of feats you should have a capture card at the ready. Doing it segmented by level would be ok but you have to start each segment by getting all the skulls and start playing until the level is complete. A million people would scrutinize the film so it all has to continuous.
I tried for 7 or 8 months straight, off and on, and finished three levels but I took shortcuts and ran by the fights so I didn't feel as if I really beat anything. Black Eye simply destroyed me.
I think you are right though, maybe start on Normal and you will see the difficulties:
Armory is a killer, enemies are always turned toward you.
Thunderstorm is hard only because you must melee because of Black Eye.
Blind adds extreme difficulty to headshots.
Catch will turn Grunts and Brutes extremely deadly with machine gun nades coming at you.
Famine is tough because of the ammo situation.
Envy is good but it eliminates perma cammo.
Assassins is bad news because your Marines become useless, they won't fight what they can't see.
Mythic is absolutely brutal.
Sputnik hurts because any protection you have will fly away.
Angry means enemies fire at you at a faster pace.
Ghost means enemies will not turn around when you whack 'em.
And Black Eye is the worst of the worst. The only way to get health is to melee enemies or objects that can be destroyed. The enemies will not turn away from you, ever (Armory and Ghost) and they are super strong (Mythic) and they will sword you in a flash (Thunderstorm).
The only chance you have is to memorize all breakable objects in the entire game including all vehicles. Trap your useless Marines behind you so you can go back and feed off them. Turrets can be meleed and so can fuel cells.
Other than all that, it should be easy to beat SLASO.
Also, there are a couple of players (not me) who have beaten the game on Legendary with Mythic activated so it's not impossible. Here's Cody Miller's run on Legendary, no death's. Imo the greatest H2 vid ever made (so far). It made it into the Guinness Book and Bungie had a special feature on it. SLASO would top this.
