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.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Its suicide to do halo 2 SLASO. Its next to impossible to do but its also a worthy challenge to all gamers.

Well where can I get a capture card and how can I use it?

Also I watched the video you linked me and I have already seen it before but I use a lot of his tricks when I do my Legendary runs, I don't use all of them because I still like to fight, just like you said.

It's also hard to collect all of the skulls int he first place, some of them are almost impossible to find even with videos

Well, you can get a capture card at any big name electronics store or online. The Dazzle cc's are very popular, somewhere around $100. They are external so it's easy to install. That way anything you do or see from your 360 can be recorded and I just use the editing software that comes with Windows.

My advice is to work up to the Legendary SLASO run before you buy a cc unless you want one anyway. If you do record something then you can put it on YouTube. If you record something like a SLASO run it will be too big for YT so you will have to find a site like Cody did.

If you watched Cody's speed run and you were not intimidated you probably are as ready as anyone to try this. Good luck.

I won't really even bother with H2 SLASO since I don't feel like making a whole bunch of profiles just to be saved at every individual skull.

Yeah, the pisser is Bungie had a skulls menu planned at one time. Then MS told them to hurry up the release of H2 and so it never got done. Even though I have profiles for all skulls it's still a pain just to go activate them.

i dont see what you guys are talking about, its not that hard to beat. you just need to take advantage of everything you can

You must know something 99% of the players do not. SLASO is; Single Player - Legendary - All - Skulls - On. You are full of fecal matter if you think it's not that hard. Even the person who beat H3 SLASO cannot accomplish the same in H2. Do it and prove it and flowers will be strewn at you. If you ever say you did it, without proof, you will be nothing but hot air.

I've been Haloing since it Xbox dropped. I only do Legendary/Mythic no-die runs...and I won't even attempt SLASO. Merely getting all of the skulls is more effort than I'm ready to part with. Never mind the unicorn-riding leprechaun concept of getting anywhere with them all activated.

I have yet to weigh in on this because you all have sufficiently throttled all who have even had the scant thought of completing SLASO. The biggest bummer in my HALO universe is that none of my damn disks will work anymore! I miss the grunty squeals of terror, WORT WORT WORT, the sight of infection spores coming after my MC butt.............alas..........guess it is time to buy the disks again!

Well I will go ahead and hold off on the CC for a while, once I beat Easy with all skulls then I will buy them, Im going for 15 maximum deaths on each level on my final SLASO So I have a ways to go.
