R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

Accomplished it awhile ago and wondering if anyone else has attempted or done this?
Proof:)

I always hated that run and never could do it so smoothly.

7 hours huh? I can understand the frustration it must have taken. Only this has nothing to do with incompetent AI. It must have taken skill to alternate from backward to forward, forward to backward while keeping in mind the goal of the run. Were they times where you were inclined/tempted to continue going forward? Were there times where you had high hope and then disappointed?

That is some serious dedication. Kudos op!

Lol thanks man, it was back in the days where everyone wanted recon and we thought maybe we would get it for completing this. But yes, we tried many times and gave up, after the third day we stayed fast and go that thing done. It was hard to know what jumps could be made in reverse and which ones couldn't, so we just guessed and went for it lol.

I think Bungie looks for the funny and random/lucky things rather than the amazing ones. Sure it's nice to be rewarded, but Recon can easily be acquired these days. And then there's film modding. I think it's more rewarding to make friends, get subscribers, positive comments, and views on YouTube.

3 days huh? Wow. That's what I suspected. Also, did you try grenades while moving backwards? That might have helped with some of the jumps. Also, near the end of the video, you start going forward. Was it because of the time?

I have never asked/hoped for Recon since I joined btw.

I noticed that you did this with three players in two hogs. the other(forward)hog could of provided "bump draft" to the reverse hog as it goes over the big jumps. Try doing it in a mongoose next time.

The jumps werent so much of an issue as the time. The floor would fall out to fast before you could set up for a jump so driving forward was needed to give a tad extra time, its impossible going only backwards.

When I said that, I had a frag grenade to assist jumps in mind. Yeah, I know how difficult it is to park that damn thing and keep it stable.
