BCM22 - Kill 'em all speed run

Halo, level 1 ('The Pillar of Autumn') on Legendary. This shows a kill 'em all speed run in 8:29, restricting myself to plasma weapons only, once at least one can be safely acquired. For full details and written commentary see here at my site: http://www.badcyborg.net/Halo/Movies/BCM22.html

@eg0u5078 It got somewhat shunted aside as I wasn't satisfied with it, and many other things have taken up my time since then. I'll try and do a better run, and maybe I can finally get a speedrun playlist started.

@BadCyborgMovies This AotCR run ever going to see the light of day? Or have moved on to other projects?

@eigenlambda I'm glad you brought up the lesser-known technique of attacking with baguettes. To be honest I find baguettes a fairly poor choice against Elites, unless they're baked extra crusty and ideally with a steel pipe hidden up the middle. But they can certainly be good for poking Grunts in the eye. Those little guys *hate* it when I attack with bakery products.

@BadCyborgMovies yeah, the melee is the best part. also, the human pistol has a sweet melee, you flip it over in your hand, hit someone with the butt, then flip it over in your hand again. i spent hours trying to do that with sticks. and the rocket launcher: like, you swing it over your head at the guy and then you need to adjust it. i do that with baguettes :D

@eigenlambda Plus, the plasma pistol is great for doing melee when you get close. To begin with I thought you were hitting with it, but eventually I realized that it gets transferred to your left hand and you hit with a fist. It's pretty fast, so it took a while to notice. Anyway, I love that crisp right hook. *SMACK*

@BadCyborgMovies I just ran through T&R again... I used to always use plasma rifle, but with this video you've convinced me that with quick finger the sheer volume of fire from a plasma pistol makes it the right choice... not only does it take down Elite shields quickly, it intimidates Jackals into changing their position and losing their shield cover

@eigenlambda Thanks. You want a kill 'em all speed run of AOTCR? I've actually got some footage of a decent run, but I was planning to try and go a few minutes faster. I'm definitely thinking of posting further speed runs though, so "watch this space" as they say.

[eigenlambda]

beautiful.

post the aotcr all-kill?

@ChosunOne302 thats what I figured, and having the marines and elite fire at each other forever was fun too

@ChosunOne302 I did suspect it was just a case of memory. I find POA a great blast but I wish it had gone on longer and included some larger areas for variety. Also I wish we could've had access to the shotgun and needler. Come to think of it, I wouldn't say no to a rocket launcher either! Even if it *is* going to damage the paintwork.
