Cody Miller

Cody Miller was an administrator at HighSpeedHalo.net, a site devoted to Halo speedruns. He held multiple records in Halo level completion times. It was later revealed that he had cheated, as his runs were actually segmented, but never said so at the time.https://dotesports.com/culture/news/history-halo-speedrunning-gdq-sgdq-15510
In August 2005, Miller completed Halo 2 in campaign mode, with the difficulty set on Legendary with a time of 3 hours, 17 minutes and 50 seconds without one single game-death. This can be considered a considerable feat, especially to someone new to the Halo game series. Miller is the first Twin Galaxies verified champion to finish the game without losing a life. Twin Galaxies senior referee Robert T. Mruczek said, "There is a variety of ultra-cheesy tactics that Miller did not employ… it was a clean run and one that should be respected by his fellow gamers on the title."Guinness World Records 2007, page 154
In 2011 at AGDQ, Miller ran Halo CE. During the run, many known glitches that were normally used to make the levels progress faster were either not used or could not be executed. It turned out Miller was not as good at the game as the speedrunning community believed he was and as a result, spent over an agonizingly long 4 hours running the game, turning the difficulty down from Legendary, to Heroic, and again to Normal.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aC_dSMGURg The original estimated time was only two hours. As a result of this disastrous speedrun, AGDQ implemented a new rule called the "Halo Rule", which gives ADGQ the right to cut off a speedrun if it is doing exceedingly poorly.
It was later realized that Miller had cut his "full game" run, and it was actually made of split runs. This led people to believe his Guinness World Record was also a segmented run, although he never said so. Other runners such as Mr. Monopoli believed that these slow, uninteresting runs "did a lot of harm to the perception of Halo speedrunning in the larger community."
