So, I have taken interest in the whole concept of speedrunning, and I have found it quite amusing. I have seen some runs that focus on completing a game in a certain way, instead of just plain completing it quickly, such as the No Suit Run, or the Crowbar Run, and I thought of the idea of completing Half-Life with the command “sv\_friction 0”. ---

Good idea, but in my opinion, a negative air accelerate run would be more entertaining to watch (sv\_airaccelerate -10). ---

9mmhandgun run no gravity run trigger\_changelevel-delay run, using every possible shortcut (using impulse 101 where the weapons are lost) YaLTeR made a testrun of hazard course with -10 airaccelerate. Would be cool to have of the full game. ---

I wanted to do a 9mmhandgun only run earlier, since you can [get it before crowbar](http://wiki.sourceruns.org/wiki/C1a0c). Anyway, I stopped after c1a0c because I realised that you have to get the crowbar in Residue Processing ☹ No friction run would be the same bunnyhopping, except sliding on the places where you must walk, but because of the limited airaccelerate you’ll have to slow down at turns anyway. ---

The reason to bunnyhop is because there is no friction in the air. Without friction on the ground it’s faster to slide than bunnyhop. I think that was OPs main intention about it. ---

I have expeirimented a little bit with zero friction in HL:S. It is quite fun when you are in an open area, but HL1 doesn’t have too much of that. I was thinking I would do my own speedrun of the game, but I am not very fond of health sacrafices, which speedruns are all about. ---

> [@quadrazid](#): > > The reason to bunnyhop is because there is no friction in the air. Without friction on the ground it’s faster to slide than bunnyhop. I think that was OPs main intention about it. Yeah I get it. You’d still have to Bunnyhop in order to gain speed 😛 ---

I insist. Without friction on the ground it’s faster to slide than bunnyhop. Try it. ---

No, you wouldn’t have to bunnyhop. Strafing can make you gain an insane boost. You can try this in long hallways. You will have to get used to looking not-forward, though. I tried doing this, and I slid right over the catwalk that the bullsquid falls on in “Unforseen Consequences”. ---

Frictionless Bump PS: Just went frictionless all the way to the the cliff in surface tension. Rage Quit at that point. ---

I think this should be made into a run, its got a lot of potential
