Well!

Let’s rewind. Earlier this summer, the YouTuber Charles “Cr1tikal” White Jr. posted a $5,000 bounty to beatHalo 2on the highest difficulty setting, with every bonus challenge modifier turned on, without dying. In the 18 years sinceHalo 2’s 2004 release on Xbox, no one had ever published evidence of completing the challenge. White’s challenge stipulates that the whole run is streamed, either on YouTube or Twitch. By July, no one had successfully stepped up to the plate, so last month, White tacked an extra $15,000 onto the bounty.

I can honestly say that I don't really recall playing Halo 2 as it's been a long time since I've tried tackling it (maybe I played it for MCC) but this is a pretty impressive run. I can barely beat these games on normal with no skulls, so watching people be actually good at them is fun!
