"Hey Frog when's the Halo 2 LASO video"

Sometimes all you need is an assault rifle and a dream

5:08 is a thing of beauty

“We need to cause a chain reaction on a massive scale however.” *_MASSIVE EXPLOSION_*

Punching the grunt during the hog run was super smart! Way to think on the go Frog

The pain and hardship of LASO is great, but the feeling of finally finishing is even greater.

Camo Jumo always makes me laugh. Imagine a typo so bad you get roasted for it for eternity by complete strangers.

You gotta respect the man for being so honest with his failures in this run. He could’ve said “oh yeah I did LASO flawlessly with no deaths” and nobody would be able to reasonably question him.

22 years later, the secret grunt on the last mission has been useful for once

17:26 Hold on, why do you have Plasma Grenades, shouldn't the Foreign skull not allow having those?

The video has at last been bestowed onto us

Happy for you getting a sponsor dude!

Frog, the way you articulate yourself in these videos is outstanding. I usually get bored of other Halo content creators, not because of the content itself but how its presented and conveyed. You keep me engaged, entertained and wanting to play Halo for the 100000th time😅 Cheers mate, love from Australia.

Holy shit that list of skulls part was brilliant, glad I recently subscribed

Grunt Funeral helps a bunch.

Vicariously living out a playthrough of LASO by watching Frog 👍 It simultaneously makes me want, and NOT want to try it at the same time 😂

A new video to watch with my food. Amazing

the fast forward part at belly skip sounded like a horror game

*BREATHES HEAVILY!* "WHEN HALO 2 LASO VIDEO🗣🗣🗣🗣 "

I’ve been waiting for this one! I wish I could like it twice. Always love seeing you play Halo bro. Well done finishing CE LASO 👍

Glad to see it man. Welcome to the club.

I love LASO videos and have been watching your content recently and loving that too, and now its you and LASO🎉🎉

Yep. Definitely never doing this.

22:14 That's my favorite part of the game WITH grunt funeral on. Just sit back and watch as "Devils Monsters" plays

The elevator shotgun scare had me wheezing.... Such comedic timing Frog!

This is what I'm currently working on as well. I'm on the 9th mission and am trying to learn how to do the flood bump to bypass the whole level. So far the hardest missions were Truth and Reconciliation and The Library. Both of these are brutal. Silent Cartographer and Assault on the Control Room were the easiest missions. Silent Cartographer gives you so many supplies and there's no real difficult parts and the banshee grab trick makes Assault on the Control Room super duper easy. Edit: just finished Halo CE LASO

I've been watching you for a long time frog, and I've got to say I'm really impressed by the way your style has evolved. I can't wait to see what your videos are like in the coming years :)

hey i just wanted to thank you. it had been a while since i played halo, and you got me into it again, when i started watching you i had 450 achivements in halo mcc on pc, now i can say that i have 700 achivements, you re ignited the love i have for halo. Thank you for showing me halo is still fun

It has been bestowed! Thank you frog, this video was very enjoyable to watch :)

Reach LASO is going to give the most pain I guarantee that, lol.

Basically binged all your Halo videos in the last 3 days. Love it keep them coming

Congrats on the Laso run! I do feel like I want to see people have fun in games so sadly I'm gonna have to skip this one, but good for you!

What a crazy frog, he actually did it

Very impressive, frog. I wish I were better at Halo speedrun tricks. I have managed to beat all of the MCC games on LASO but the speedruns just kick my ass.

Thanks!

So you can quit out right as you die in laso, and if you go back to the Playlist and hit resume you will have a checkpoint saved. That'll save you so much trouble for the rest of the Laso challenges in different Halos. I can't imagine having a perfect run in Laso I died so many times doing all of the Laso's! 😂

I love you Frog

Hey Frog, great video as always. Just curious, but how were you able to have plasma grenades during 343 Guilty Spark? Do you spawn with them on that level? Otherwise shouldn’t foreign prevent you from getting them, or is there something weird with that level?

Dude, I love your videos. It is the creators like you, that keep this franchise alive.

Let’s go! Been waiting for this for so long.

I love the cutoffs on Keyes standing on top of grenades so much

Congrats on getting a sponsor man that rules!

I actually started to do laso cause pf your videos, i'm stuck in the library right now, but i have to say it's really fun

Babe come quick! The frog posted

Great job Frog! Now make sure to have some “fun” on Halo 2 LASO! 😀👍

Been catching up with your previous videos before this one came out, almost missed it so i have subbed now. Keep up the great videos and also "When the halo 2 laso video coming out" hahaha

Getting onto the ship for Truth and Reconciliation was the hardest thing I've done in a video game save for the prison skip in Gravemind in Halo 2. I recorded every death for LASO for CE-4, and I had over 1,000 screencapped deaths that I have been tossing around the idea of making into a supercut. Edit: seeing you just completely skip that area hurt my feelings.

Frog I love your videos

Me and my friend played LASO CO-OP and got by easily enough until The Truth and Reconciliation. We could NOT get past the firefight when you first enter the ship

Crazy how I've beaten all of the LASO playlists in MCC and I'm hearing of all these new tricks I've never seen or used before!!!

Following your respective video guides I was able to beat Hale CE and Halo 2 under 3 hours and now...finally...also got the Halo CE LASO Playlist achievement. No glitches used outside of the despawn trick on Two Betrayals (which you skipped ironically) and early Gondola in Regret. Now Im pumped to start Halo 2 LASO, hope I wont have to figure out the entire run by myself *wink-wink*. Thanks for your "regular guy" guides, wouldnt have been able to complete any of those without their help :)

It's finally here!

Was literally playing War Thunder when the sponsor segment appeared

Need full playlist of that run!

New to the channel, loving it already. I loved your ‘Is Halo 2 Legendary Broken’ and would love to see CE, 3, and my personal favorite (sorry frog) Reach versions of that video

My brother and I didn’t know about the ammo backpack reload when we did it coop. Our solution? Melee kill every flood. Save bullets for the carrier forms. Otherwise just melee kill. We hoarded shotgun shells and rockets till the last two ish rooms and burned through it all in a sprint to the Index. I think it took 8 hours for us to get through. Slow and steady, beating every combat form to death.

Grunt Birthday party my beloved. 🌸

A tip for LASO runs. Take a tiny piece of coloured tape or piece of stickynote (or something similar), start up the game normally, lightly stick your tape on the screen where the reticle is. Congrats you now have a reticle that the game cant take away

Yo, Frogarchist! I saw you in my Halo Reach multiplayer lobby! That's really cool, that this happened! I love your videos and the sheer coincedence that you popped up in my Reach lobby is cool!

Wow. Very impressed with how quickly you handled this. Me and my brother did LASO on the Trilogy, but we didn’t know all the tricks. Library was a NIGHTMARE. Took us 7-8 agonizing hours 😂😭

By god, he did it

Pretty smooth transition into the ad, not gonna lie.

Mad respect mate, I completed every halo game on legendary expect halo 5 and infinite. and I also was crazy enough to play dark souls 1, 2, 3... Yeah I've had my fair share of madness I'm keeping my sanity and not touching LASO ever.. I also don't know why but I did not skip anything when I did my legendary run.. all those jackal snipers and bullet sponge knights..

I remember doing CE laso on mcc a few years ago, it was actually the most fun one to do out of all of them besides the library. Still haven’t been able to do halo 2 laso since I play solo but I completed reach, 3 and odst solo laso. Fun times

20:46 "We need to trigger a detonation on a large scale however." Frog witnesses a giant chain reaction that kills every enemy in the room.

The story behind camo jumo cracks me up 😂

Did this with an Australian friend through all 6 Laso games, he put me onto this channel too

At 10:08 in all my years of playing Halo CE since it launched I have never seen an elite get into a shade turret before the mission Keyes. I didn't know they could.

Incredible froggy skill 🐸

LASO!? LET’S GO

But consider, LASO Extreme Iron Like regular laso but with iron skull restarting the campaign

Idea for a new video: do a speedrun at a public event of this game and fail to achieve every speedrunning trick while also lowering the difficulty twice

halo ce is such a unique laso, not being able to use covenant weapons + grunt funeral makes for such a unique playpattern compared to the other ones, when i did it a couple years ago i basically just followed halo completionists guides on it was a fun experience i never wanna do again.

Admire the patience to do this shit lol I did Cairo Station from 2 once and that was enough to swear off LASO forever 😂

22:11 Why did they all just watch the grenade fly past them like its some kind of cartoon lmao

theres away around the iron skull. simply puase the game and save and quit before you respond/restart while your death animation is playing. hit save and quit then reload back into the game from the main menu. youll spawn at your last check point

Finally, I can sleep. The LASO video is here

me: theres no way that Frog does the thing in the title of the video Frog: does the title of the video me: :o

I got to T&R by myself on laso. Gave up in the lift room. After seeing this, I think I'm going to give it another shot.

As someone that has beaten CE LASO, seeing you do the hangar skip on TnR made me irrationally angry.

Now we need a halo 2 laso video 😼 😈

You make it look easy

I remember attempting this years ago and I only beat Pillar Of Autumn and that was enough brutality for me. LASO is the Anti-Fun of all time.

How'd you use plasmas with the foreign skull on to get the sentinel unstuck? Do you spawn with those or something?

Hi Frog!!! I am so happy to have finished watching this video at 12:12 AM on March 12, 2024! Go WarThunder!!!

Oh we hitting Warthunder numbers now!

"I'm never gonna play that again because that was the opposit of fun" was so funny for some reason

When my friend and I played T&R legendary we determined which of us Keyes was following and had that person sit in the prison block babysitting Keyes while the other cleared the way to the hanger. 😂

Still waiting for ultimate marine experience on legendary

I tried halo 3 laso. I was solo but did co op to reset to checkpoints when i die, and i put a small piece of tape on my screen where the reticle is supposed to be. Took me 3 hours to beat sierra 117. This shit is ridiculous lol gg frog

A memory from 23 years ago. My cousin and I were co-oping Legendary because I wanted to "see the real ending." We spent forever on it as we were young and incredibly bad. After failing over, and over and over and over again on the final mission we managed to make it to the end of the game and saw the infamous 'real ending.' My cousin sat there, stunned. "We did all that just to see a dude hug an alien?!" I still don't think he has forgiven me.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

In all halo LASO levels, available pretty cheat glitch, if you press save and leave, when you die and camera show your corpse. Then in menu press continue, Instead of playing level entirely again, you will start from the checkpoint, it takes more time to do, but since beat LASO without a single mistake, (which could ruin entire walkthrough) is impossible, it is a good option for solo players like me. Unfortunately in HALO 2 LASO this glitch sometimes does not work, and you have to play from the start, which sucks, because HALO 2 is hardest LASO challenge, it literally unbalanced and unbeatable without using speedrun glitches, especially on the level gravemind, on the elevator to the prison...

If you want someone to run through H2 LASO with in Coop to get a feel for the differences in approach let me know. Ive ended up guiding people through that LASO for a bit over a year now and Ive gotten pretty good at refining existing strategies and explaining them to my partners so that over time they get better at seeing places to improvise beneficially (especially relevant to manipulating enemies to beat them down for shields/overshields)

What I would do for the reticle problem is just put a piece of tape in the center of your monitor even if it's a really tiny piece of tape it still works as a reticle

It might not have been fun but getting that achievement to pop is worth every agonizing death and reset

“You know what they say, third time is a charm” “They lied” 😂😂😂

17:00 ish - this is where my Anniversary version LASO is stuck.

Hey man. Love the content. Why do I still see your reticle at the end of the pillar of autumn and on the next mission after afew deaths?
