Scored Heroic Single Segment - 1:58:20 by RC Master
Have you ever heard of the Spartan 1 Project? They’re a 10,000+ member group on b.net and have their own site as well now. They have a number of teams which help people get achievements in various games, mostly Halo. You might have heard of the Annualists or the Highwaymen before - who have helped literally hundreds of people get those achievements.
One of their groups, called the ‘Quest for 52’ (forum may require sign-up to view) are dedicated to getting the Weekly challenges. Two of their members put up a competition called ‘Reach Iron Pro’. The rules are as follows:
> 1. The run is to be done on Heroic difficulty.
> 2. Scoring is to be turned on.
> 3. No skulls are to be turned on.
> 4. Co-op runs are not allowed.
> 5. Once you die the run is over. (You must restart from the beginning of the campaign.)
> 6. Phasing / warping are not allowed in the run.
> (i.e. Forklift glitch on Nightfall, Banshee glitch on New Alexandria, etc.)
> 7. De-spawning enemies is allowed.
> 8. Runs must appear in series in your stats. (to avoid recon of the upcoming level)
> (They must appear in a row (one after another) in your campaign games played on Bungie.net)

Being fairly experienced in the Reach campaign, I took up the challenge and did the whole game on my second try. The video of which is posted here for your perusal. So yes, this thread is kind-of shameless self-promotion.
Top Prize is a year of Xbox Live Gold, with 1600msp, fame, glory and bragging rights also on offer for 2nd and 3rd place.
So give it a go! Or just watch the video
