Halo 2 Sword Flying at 144 FPS

[sirkees]

It works! However, this is pretty much only doable with a macro, as the window to input the buttons went from being .066 seconds when halo 2 was 30 fps, to .033 seconds when it was moved to 60, and now to .0138 seconds with 144 fps. I found a youtube video where a guy made a macro that seemed to have a very high consistency:

However, he used Synapse 2 to make his macro, and since I'm on Synapse 3, I don't have the legacy macro widget. Synapse 3's macro tool is different and inputting the values from the youtube description didn't work for me, so I experimented a bit on my own and made something that has a pretty poor consistency but its the best consistency I've had so far... you'll get the lunge within 10 tries.

It goes like this:

0s delay | (switch weapon button down)
.002s delay | (switch weapon button up)

0s delay | (reload button down)
.001s delay | (reload button up)

0s delay | (fire weapon down)
.02s delay | (fire weapon up)

There you have it if anyone wants to try it, let me know if you find any values that make it more consistent. Also, I understand many are frustrated with the various issues with Halo 2's launch, but give 343 some time, they have a lot on their hands, but they'll get it done. Thank you guys and have fun!

i tried all of this. but frame ttimes are so inconsistent, thanks to loads and enemy spawns. so it works like, 5/10 times. no fun, may aswell just use 60 fps locked mode, since that is what they use for speedruns.

It's based on tickrate. Should be pretty consistent overall if it's 0.002 for all three sequences. The final button can be experimented with, if you're swordflying with button combos the final click needs to be spaced out increasing the value a little might make it more consistent.

You can't possibly be serious. Setting a keypress for a swordfly that only works in campaign isn't cheating.

Gaming peripherals by that logic should be considered cheating, since razer, corsair and logitech come with prebuilt hardware macro's. Essentially those that can afford it naturally get an advantage, so that's fair?

Your argument reeks elitism.

it's still cheating however you like it

Then they should patch swordflying than, they bought it back in 2018. Halo 2 is popular for speedrunning and 343 knows that.

Try swordlfying on a keyboard and mouse without a macro, even with a macro it isn't consistent.

Let me guess, one of those types "hurr macro bad even for single player, cheatzzzz" huh?

People could abuse no recoil scripts in rust. It depends on the game dude, halo isn't particularly useful with macro's at all, asides from campaign exploits. Or halo 2 classic button combos, which are fairly easy even doing them the normal way.

I don't think it's framerate dependent, I have tried to lock the game to 30FPS (using Radeon Chill) and it still has the same successrate as it has when I have uncapped frames.

In H2V I can hit the trick fairly frequently even with uncapped frames, the crosshair stays red for way longer there.

Yeah I was wrong, it is tickrate based and nothing to do with FPS. However, I believe a macro is necessary because the tickrate is so high now its nearly impossible to pull it off manually. If you're allowed to mod campaigns, then macro use is not an issue xD (responding to other comments).

There is a way of doing it. I've been able to do it by hand a few times. I use a few macro programs and made my own. I've gotten it to work a few times in a row then it just dosent works anymore. I think if we keep cracking at it we could find a way to do it on pc no mods.

Could you share your macro by any chance?

Hey dude, the times you posted in your original post work fairly consistently for me both in and out of scope (only tested with Cov Carbine on Quarantine Zone). Also using Razer Synapse 3. I had to limit the fps to 60.

Also those crying about whether or not a macro in a single player mode is cheating are lame asses.

Good to hear, and facts dude. I'm not sure how much fps factors into the consistency but it seems like it does.
