I had a crazy idea. Speedrunning every map backwards! Before I start doing segments, I’m gonna ask the community if this sounds fun because I’m not doing it by myself! Here’s an idea I had for a coast_07 route: http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/PUA1KBEl/file.html And also, shouldn’t it be HL2 Done For…

That would be cool, I would quite like to help out if you need runners or routers.

Probably someone could edit the maps with hammer to allow it going backwards, that would make it an really interesting run, possibly even an mod. Edit: And also reversing cutscenes somehow.

I could edit the maps, but then would it be hl2 anymore? I think it might be better to just do the maps we can, although editing the maps would allow for a complete run. Also when would timing start, and end, we could do it so that maybe it ends once we are in the train. And for the start, what woul…
