Visible proof? All it is is a very high kill count and a message that the MAKER just happened to put at the bottom that says it's the max. Hm....

Okay. Random programming info. To create a kill counter they had to use a variable and variable have different types for varying amounts of memory. To determine the max kill counter all you would have to do is examine the code and find what type of variable it is. I didnt bother downloading that video on the first page but since you can have a negative kill count(suicides and TK's) I would assume that it is a signed variable(negative and positive numbers), and that the type is either short or long because there is no need for more than that. Here's a small table for further inspection:


Type Name Range of Values
__int8 -128 to 127
__int16 -32,768 to 32,767
__int32 -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
__int64 -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
short -32,768 to 32,767
unsigned short 0 to 65,535
long -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
unsigned long 0 to 4,294,967,295
float 3.4E +/- 38 (7 digits)
double 1.7E +/- 308 (15 digits)
long double 1.2E +/- 4932 (19 digits)

theoretically, you could get an infinite number of kills until the screen fills up. but that is just theoretically.

Sorry, I had it wrong. It goes to 16 something. I might have a screenshot of it. Play around with it in Halo CE -- player 1 kills is at 0x402AB068

I got my score to -700 one time.

An easy way to do this is to hold the right analog stick (up/down) so you face downward. Hold the right trigger while you have a rocket launcher. Use '10' for your speed.
