If you're an experienced Halo player looking for a new challenge while you wait for Infinite's co-op campaign and Forge modes to finally arrive, this might be it. Streamer MoistCr1TiKaL has issued a challenge to anyone willing to accept it to complete a LASO run of Halo 2. It has never been done, at least not on record, and Cr1TiKaL will stump up $20,000 to the first person who manages to do it.
For those unfamiliar with what a LASO challenge is, the acronym stands for Legendary All Skulls On. Technically speaking, what Cr1TiKaL is asking of one very skilled Halo player isn't a LASO run. It's actually slightly more difficult. To win the $20,000, you need to have all skulls on except one. The Envy skull which allows Master Chief to turn invisible, something that would make the run significantly easeir if allowed.
Its time to look at the best Xbox games on Microsoft's first original giant box and remember some classic we haven't heard from in years.
I'd add an honorable mention of Outrun 2. That is a fantastic arcade racer, I'd say even better than the 2006 Coast 2 Coast.
At least Project Gotham has not been forgotten this time!
Doom 3 was also an impossible port and fun to this day (1080p 60fps on Switch revisited and had a blast).
Far Cry instinct also impressed graphically

Jade Empire was also very good
GF365: "There is a multitude of magnificent weaponry in video games and using a sword in a game is something fans adore. So here are the best swords in video games. I decided to include some of the less obvious picks as well."
Anytime people bring up special swords in games, I instantly go to Umbra in Morrowind.
And yes, I know there's lore to the sword and it appears multiple times throughout the series, but it's the first time I came across it and it felt like such an insane item that you always needed to get.
Ghost of thushima easily. Its the most stylish, brutal and beatifully animated sword game ever made. With best stance dancing combat mechanic and most satisfying combat and sword kills. The way he wips the blood off his katana in swift motion before he unseath the blade. The way you move katana in this game is art in motion. Its so beatiful even the sounds are bold and spot on. You cant compare elden ring/souls games to got when it comes to swords and sword choreography. Elden ring combat is unrealistic and most basic shit compared to ghost of thushima. Elden ring swordplay: roll,roll,roll, light/heavy attack with like 3 different animations. With zero interactivity in sword combat with enemies. Elden ring sword combat is accurate as it is
in world of warcraft. Enemy A.I is on same level than world of warcraft mob aswell. They dont even do anything than stand and wait for you. They even hold torches at day time just copy pasted models in an empty world. Goty my ass.
"Twitch streamer and Halo 2 speedrunner JerValiN has managed to accomplish something that was once believed to be impossible: a deathless run of Halo 2 on Legendary difficulty, with all Skulls on..."
"By successfully finishing this challenge, JerValiN has completed the $20,000 bounty issued by popular Twitch streamer MoistCr1TiKaL to beat Halo 2 LASO without dying."
That’s awesome! As with all these types of challenges, it always makes me wonder if someone did this ages ago, just didn’t have a way to show “proof” that they did.
TDang who was the one person to dislike every comment? “No Accomplishments”!
Cool!
There have been loads of SLASO runs done in Halo 2 though, I've done a few myself. I am guessing he is limiting a death to killing the run instead of just the mission but even thats not too crazy once you have run it a few times and know the tactics. Its more a test of patience and the ability to pull of some glitches than anything else.
