this is unbelievable

Halo 2 speed trial becomes Guinness world record

How fast can you beat Halo 2? In August of 2005, Cody Miller managed to take on the Flood on Legendary difficulty in 3 1/2 hours ,  without dying. It's an amazing feat, so much so that the 2007 Guinness Book of World Record lists Cody's stunt.

If any Joystiq readers can get a scan of the page, let us know and we'll update. The Guinness website does not have it listed yet, unfortunately.

You can check out Cody's explanation of the feat here, as well as check out the video here. Congratulations, and for those naysayers who say his run is no big deal, we'll let the guys at Bungie's tell you off:

"I bet that about 40 of you will say, "ZOMG I TOTALLY DID THAT TWO YEARS AGO IN HALF THE TIME." But you're lying. I know it, you know it and your mom knows it good and hard. So just don't."

maan halo 2 is one heck of a game, too damn difficult

Yes i know, but the legendary difficulty level is worst. That guy is the devil . Did you downloaded the video of his gameplay? It's a must watch!

Honestly the US army should recruit this guy and turn him into a super-cyborg.

Jesus!!!!!!

Maybe the guy should try and beat Metal Gear Solid series 1, 2 and 3. And I guess he must have downloaded hidden cheattttttttttt

finishing mgs123 is something most of us (mere mortals) have done. NO big deal.

finishing halo 2 on LEGENDARY (i dare your ps2-loving arse to even try to do half of it on heroic) in such a short time is a GODLIKE ACHIVEMENT OF UNBELIEVABLE SKILLZ!

"I bet that about 40 of you will say, "ZOMG I TOTALLY DID THAT TWO YEARS AGO IN HALF THE TIME." But you're lying. I know it, you know it and your mom knows it good and hard. So just don't."

Yeah i am gonna say something like that. finished halo 1 four times on legendary and the other level while waiting for halo 2 to come out as i am waiting now for 3.

And i finished halo 2 in like six hours on the first try[legendary]. so i bet if i put my mind to it i will do it in 3hrs.

oh and i finished metal gear on hard and extreme.

I AM THE GOD.

six hours vs 3 hours is a biiiiig difference dude.

If you've ever done time trials in ANY fps, talk less of a fixed-walking-speed fps like Halo, you will come to understand this.

you can NOT do it. Do not even bother to try!

first try dude, first try. when u already know what to do it makes things a bit easier
