A '''speedrun''' is an attempt by players to finish any [[campaign]] level as fast as possible. This is done by having good understanding of the game's gameplay mechanics and exploiting these mechanics. Common methods in a ''[[Halo]]'' speedrun is by using [[explosive jumping]] technique, careful selection of weapons and bypassing as many engagements as possible, sometimes getting outside the map to do so. Allies may also be killed to skip dialogue. Halo speedruns are typically run on either Easy or Legendary, with each difficulty being a separate category. A subcategory under Legendary, L.A.S.O. (Legendary All Skulls On) requires the runner to activate all skulls while playing on Legendary. L.A.S.O. typically requires different routing from that of a no skulls Legendary run.

Due to performance limitations between a controller and mouse and keyboard (MKB), runners may prefer running on PC through [[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]] if possible.

Due to the performance difference between mouse/keyboard and controllers, most runners prefer to use [[Halo PC]]/[[Custom Edition]] (though [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Anniversary]] and [[Halo: The Master Chief Collection|MCC]] may be used if the former are not available).
