Hey, complete audio isn't required (but obviously preferred). Missing audio is a reason to reject a run if there is reason to believe it is covering up for a cheat or splice but I am sure your submission will be fine!

The main source of Halo 3:ODST Speedruns is Haloruns.com.

The SRC page acts as a site to track non HR.com categories because it is quick and easy to change. It also keeps the HR.com focused on the 'main' categories to encourage competition and optimisation.

The SRC page may change over time as the popularity of categories changes. There will need to be a balance of having fun 'side' categories but not too many excess side categories.

If you are interested in having a particular category added feel free to create a new thread in this form asking for it to be added. You can also ask in the Haloruns.com Discord linked on this page.

Hey, so New Game is considered a "fresh disk" on a "fresh Xbox profile". In this scenario you would not have any audio logs collected. New Game+ is when the player has played Momabasa Streets and has collected 1 or more audio logs.

Because you can't un-collect audio logs (without creating a new player profile which isn't always possible) runners have decided that the main source of Halo Speedrun leaderboards, HaloRun.com, will track NG+ runs. SRC is used to track the remaining NG+ difficulties as well as the New Game category which some people have expressed interest in running. They would need to start the game on a profile that has 0 audio logs collected but can collect them during the run.
