May I hear the reason?
There isn’t one, I just wanted to start a long, heated debate. That didn’t exactly work. Yeah, I say go with 4.
Alright. The run is far from completed. So the poll/debate is still relevant if anyone have something to say.
Having good progress at On A Rail. As planned, I will release some kind of teaser once the chapter is done.
c2a2b1 = Can’t wait to see that huge improvement
Wtf? Since when is this run estimated at 22 minutes? That’s crazy!
Have been pretty slow progress last months. Been busy with skiing season and other stuff. However I’m glad to announce that over 4 minutes is saved over SW’s old run already.
Found some neat tricks at end of On A Rail, saved 1.15s with a tripmine.
And a brand new trigger delay shortcut at Forget About Freeman that will save 6-7s, one grenade and 8 cells.
Currently I’m at the unskippable rocket launch. A pretty easy segment that pretty much anyone could do. The only tricky thing is to end it ASAP. When the button is pressed, the map can be changed after 40 seconds. I had to save after killing the ARnade grunt to duplicate his ammo. So after the save there is 35,62 seconds left til the optimal mapchange should take place. So there is plenty of time to loot up everything
What I need when leaving the map is 47 hp and 4 AR grenades.
When starting to record, please change to another weapon since the shotgun fire animation was not completed when I saved.
pause0;weapon_handgrenade; ect.
Use pause1 in game.cfg to pause in the loading.
Record using hlspbunny mod.
Position should be in the middle of the transition room, similar to the screenshot.

Lowest time and coolest style will get it.

coolkid, always shaving off the frames.
35,60 8)
Gotta see demo and save.
What’s up all’y, I’ve been following this thread for some time because I can’t fucking wait to see this speedrun. And now I decided to make an account just to back you guys up. Keep up the good work! 8)
Lovely builder.
Thanks to CRASHFORTRESS for making the Teaser
Awesome teaser. Great intro, great music, awesome 3rd person view of Gordon, great camera choices, cool fonts, cool montages. Not too revealing but just enough to pique the viewer’s interest and thirst for the final speedrun immensely! In short, great job. There’s no doubt in my mind that the final run will be even more exciting to watch. Can’t wait.
OH MY F*CKING GOD!! ;D
This is so good. Good job guys! Seriously 
Hey guys, so how’s it going with the run? Gotten any further? Any news is good news :>
Yes, good news : >
Pretty good progress lately and I’m closing in to some of the more interesting parts of the game like Questionable Ethics and Surface Tension. On A Rail was completed with a whooping improvement of 49.50 seconds. Apprehension is also completed with a more shy 20.42 improvement. Total savings right now adds up to 4:43 minutes and will be 5min+ at the end of Residue Processing. I just finished the first map of the latter and I can promise a few pretty exceptional routes in this otherwise straight forward chapter.
On A Rail history:
think-circle 4:18
dopefish 3:43
RandomEngy 4:11
Spider-Waffle 2:43.66
New 1:54.16
For details, have a look at the timesheet.
Fantastic!! Keep up the good work <3
how the heck did RandomEngy lose time on OAR?
He had fewer segments of an otherwise identical route. Adds quite a lot with poor movement.
RE’s run is overall slower on most parts but with some new skips, like alienslave boost in testchamber, OC freezer skip, WHGHs skip ect.
Could be useful?
