Halo 2 Master Chief Collection Par Times
Outskirts/Metropolis Par Times
Yes, we’re combining these two. Halo 2 does this all the time, where levels are broken into two rather awkwardly. We’re going to recombine them when it is pertinent, like here. Outskirts and Metropolis are unified by a singular concept for Time runs; you can skip 90% of the levels.
On a time run, the only fight you have to get into is this opening one in the courtyard. Give the turret due justice against the drones that fly in and run around the courtyard during the waves of Covenant squads.
When the Hunters show up, swing around to their left when they charge and pop them in the back with a battle rifle. Now go snatch Sgt. Johnson’s sniper rifle and run forward. Take out the snipers in the next courtyard and then use the boxes to jump onto the rooftop.
Use the rooftops to skip all the way to Hotel Zanzibar, then run through them to where the Warthog spawns in. Hop in, and gun it. Memorize the upcoming beaches and tunnels and just keep on going till the cutscene.
Once Metropolis begins, don’t get in the tank. Grab the Warthog to the right and gun it across the bridge, and trick one of the Ghosts into running into the wall and hijack it.
Then run that Ghost through the tunnel and over the barricade they normally force you to walk through on the right. Keep driving into the next open area and take control of the new Warthog.
Once again – drive; get all the way to the city center. Now here’s the second fight you have to get into; drive the Warthog around to destroy the Wraith tanks from behind. Once done, sprint through the building to the upper catwalks with the weapon pods.
Grab a sniper rifle and a shotgun, and start hitting the Elites on the Scarab’s top deck. Hop down onto it and get angry with the shotgun quick-like.
For Score; take your time and don’t skip to the rooftops. Take your time through the alleyways, and try to stay one or two steps ahead of the Marines so you can get the kills.
Take your time on the beach with the Warthog. Take your time with the Scorpion tank and Warthog. Have fun with it and enact total annihilation upon your enemies – Halo 2 is far kinder toward Score runs than Time runs.
