A World Record run.
Level jump links (NOT level times):
Winter Contingency: 1:32

Nightfall: 22:47
Tip of the Spear: 35:07
Long Night of Solace: 46:03

Pillar of Autumn: 2:02:02
Lone Wolf: 2:21:09
This is the first and only known run of it's kind. Safely this can be thought of as the highest score attained in a single segment (SS) Heroic run without skulls and the fastest scored heroic single segment run.
This run was performed for the 'Quest for 52' group's (part of the Spartan 1 Project) competition known as 'Reach Iron Pro.' To compete, a player had to play the game in level order without skulls, with scoring on, and must not die.
Additionally, you could not use the Forklift skip on Nightfall or the Banshee Hospital Skip on New Alexandria. The competition is ranked firstly by how far through the game you get, and secondly by how large your total score is. I was the first, and so far only, person to complete the whole game in this way and so am currently in first place on the leaderboard for the competition.

== FAQ ==
Q: What is a Single Segment?
A: A single segment is the most difficult and gruelliing type of game run. It is the entire game from start to finish, in one sitting. This run was recorded live, so you see exactly what I saw, as I did it. If you just want to see the gameplay, use the time-stamps for the levels at the top of this description.
Q: This is cool, I want to see more like it.
A: Excellent! Some of my single-level speed runs (which are much more optimised and feature more tricks) are here on my channel. But many more are on http://www.HighSpeedHalo.net or the HighSpeedHaloDotNet channel on YouTube.
Q: Do it on Legendary noob!
A: I'm planning to. I just managed to complete this run on Heroic first.
Q: Woah, that's a long video! How big was the file? How long did it take you to upload?
A: I recorded live in mjpeg so as not to kill my harddrive; the resulting file was 82.9GB. Then I compressed it into MP4 using Sony Vegas Movie Studio (since Handbrake wouldn't work) into an 8.47GB. This is the file I uploaded to YT, and it took ALL DAY TO UPLOAD (7 hours). Not because my upload is slow (I actually get around 20Mb up where I am right now!) but because YT wouldn't give me the upload bandwidth!

Really RC, come on - I can see me doing Heroic but this doesn't fly w/me, If you're covering all the Bases , I get it, but U have to do Legendary or it's not cool. Take Care Rottie

Gatling95 3 months ago
@Gatling95 Because the first time I'd tried to do this I died there repeatedly.
I didn't want to fail again an hour and a half into the run.
