Hey everyone, I haven’t been on SourceRuns in a _looooooong time._ Sorry. I wanted to come back to say I’ve gotten a Personal Best on HL2LC, “No Launch”, being 01:36, and one that is currently not verified, that is 01:30 approx. I wanted to get some comments about my run, maybe how I could improve these Single-Segment Runs. ## Here are the links to the [Speedrun.com](http://Speedrun.com) runs I’ve posted for HL2LC. ## [1st Posted as Record](http://www.speedrun.com/run/9me9xx0z) [Currently Accepted as Record](http://www.speedrun.com/run/pzgxk20m) ## Thanks for reading and watching 🙂 UPDATE! - Recently got a New PB, timed myself from the rules listed on [Speedrun.com](http://Speedrun.com). Time, 01:20. I did use ABH at one section, knowing that I can do it there consistently. [Here It Is!](http://www.speedrun.com/run/kz50jxdy) ---

You can do ABH in the very first part of the map, this trick is really inconsistent and requires you do a lot of scrolling really quickly cus you sorta do a stucklaunch off the side of the boat, combined with the extra hops you get from that small slope next to the rock. You can also ABH toward the end of the run. > **[Half-Life 2: Lost Coast - Any% in 1m 05s by BitRain - speedrun.com](https://www.speedrun.com/hl2lc/run/0y665qjy)** > > Half-Life 2: Lost Coast - Any% in 1m 05s by BitRain Nice thumbnail tho 😃 ---

It seemed so at one point, where it kinda bugged out. If so, maybe you should add the “SS” and “Not SS” tags on the leaderboard (At least I’d still have a record XD) I’ll have to practice the ABH in the beginning, if I can’t get it, I’ll try finding another route. Thanks 🙂 ---

> [@BitRain](#): > > [http://www.speedrun.com/run/0y665qjy](http://www.speedrun.com/run/0y665qjy) how far can you lauch and still be considered in the “No Launch” category? Would make more sense to not allow any ABH launch before the first gate. > [@AiiROfficial](#): > > Nice run, I’m guessing that run was segmented? He provided a demo so it’s most likely Single segment. (afaik it’s possible to combine multiple demos into one but it’s really hard to do and it would look even more obvious) ---

(afaik it’s possible to combine multiple demos into one but it’s really hard to do and it would look even more obvious) I like the thought of that for no launch, but if it’s still allowed, I’ll have to learn it XD Also, I probably should’ve thought about that before saying that, whoops ---

It is single segment, I just kept trying it again and again til I got it and the run is pretty short so it wasn’t that much of a chore to do. > [@Elgu](#): > > how far can you lauch and still be considered in the “No Launch” category? > Would make more sense to not allow any ABH launch before the first gate. That’s the farthest I’ve ever gone. I guess Any% No Launch is just beat the game as long as you use _some_ of Valve’s intended route. Normal any% literally skips everything. ---

Normal any% literally skips everything. Well, great run, I’ll have to change video titles, and then when I get the chance, practice. I will beat the run of its the death of me XD ---
