3 segments, finally getting used to AFH (thanks to eXeC). 49 seconds, one second slower than HL2DQ, but that’s 'cause I got a little sloppy halfway through. ---

I was looking for some rocks/slopes on the beach that could send us flying over the water to the tunnel. I had one boost, but I didnt had that much speed to fly onto the road. Also, dont AFH that much. Its slower and its easier to screw up while you are doing it. ---

Having route information spread everywhere but the forums (be it in our minds or in spammy private chats) doesn’t help anything at all. Neither does “ABH off of the car, then get a boost of the small bump that’s in the rock to get to X faster” help much. ---

…get done with this map in about 20 seconds. 071 is the current segment. The route is just to launch over across the water as fast as possible, end at level load. We’re either going to split this into two, where one seg sets up a launch and then the launch, or just try to do it all in one segment. Oh yeah and Highway 17’s done. Total time for that chapter: 49 seconds. ---

Longer \_2 demos save time on the next map, so they’re not relevant at all, as long as they’re not broken. ---

> [@S.](#): > > Longer \_2 demos save time on the next map, so they’re not relevant at all, as long as they’re not broken. They are relevant in this case. Since his \_2 was 15 ticks, if he got the same time as I did on my 068 it’d be 15 ticks faster. Therefore, he has to get at least 15 ticks faster than mine for it to match it. ---

Timing \_2 demos is unfair. For example, I get a good time and all for the actual segment, but I screw up the \_2 demo just because my PC is bad or something (though the save is okay for the next seg and stuff), I automatically lose the segment. Also, we would’ve moved the same distance over those 15 ticks, doesn’t matter if it would’ve been done during \_2 or 068. To those complaining that I have 1500 ups - you can jump instantly in 068 and regain maxvelocity with one jump. ---

Yes we have to time them. HL2DQ didn’t time them because theirs were impossible to time. They had segments where they literally shot pidgeons for 19 seconds. Nobody said your segment was bad because of the \_2, they said it was bad because of the save. If doesn’t matter if you can jump back up to max speed in 1 jump, you’re still spending time at less than 3500, where gocnak’s 068 never dips below 3k once he hits the ground. I don’t mean to be rude, but stop pretending you’re at a disadvantage. Timing the \_2 demos isn’t unfair, it’s necessary. Olympic runners in relay races don’t get to “not count” the time when they’re handing off the baton, and if they drop it they’re penalized. Further, we have SEVERAL \_2 demos that are .5s (or even .6s for one of gocnak’s), so we have made it very clear that the length of the \_2 doesn’t matter. The only thing that DOES matter, is that since your \_2 demo was 15 ticks, if you want to improve 068 then you have to improve it by more than 15 ticks, because improving it by exactly 15 ticks means it’s the same as my 068. ---

We’ve deemed it unnecessary to go back three maps for 10 ticks. Exec, you will get some (and probably most) c17 maps, hence the map preference sheet thread. [Next page](https://forums.sourceruns.org/t/d2-coast-09/1976.md?page=2)
