It stll exists. It's called cheesing. (Destiny)
I like the ingenuity behind the breaking exploits because it, often, denotes a keen interest in and knowledge of the game's mechanics.
It's not so great when you skip most of AotCR to get a fast time and I suspect that even the speedrunners are slightly disappointed that it is possible.
My favorite runs are when they don't break the fourth wall and it just looks like the Chief is being a total badass. Often the story tells us that we need to get to a place like YESTERDAY and so it makes sense that the Chief doesn't kill everybody and does insane, amazingly well timed jumps and totally aggressive fighting to get to his objective in a time that a lesser mortal couldn't even contemplate.
