The latest Half-life 2 speed run. Group effort by ~7-10 of us. around 40m faster than the previous run by marshmallow.

Something I found quite amusing was on a certain forum, a certain Circuitous posted on a thread a while back:

The guy that did the HL2 run can sit pretty knowing it's now untoppable because of changes made to the game. =D

I believe this was said about the previous run, which we beat by 40 mins =D

Im also hoping that its the Circuitous that spends half his time in these forums!

edit: Done on HARD difficulty

o_luminous · 03-29-2006, 06:28 PM

what difficulty level?

i can do it in 1h 34 min!

Circuitous · 03-29-2006, 06:29 PM

Yup, that was me. Watching now.

Ha. Magic actor teleportation.

What forums did I say that on, anyway? I can't remember now. I said that not knowing you could push actors to their next segment.

post it on http://speeddemosarchive.com/ if you haven't already
cool stuff

o_ivaqual · 03-29-2006, 07:17 PM

pm me if you don't want to register for gamearena to get the hq version. i can share the login info, you just have to wait until i'm done dling it myself (45 mins from now).

o_loader · 03-29-2006, 07:45 PM

OMG, that guy owns..

The bhopping is menthol.

Nice ramp sliding too

Defrag · 03-29-2006, 07:49 PM

The fact that a speedrun still takes an hour and a half kinda ruins it for me :P
Good effort nonetheless!

o_ghost · 03-29-2006, 07:51 PM

Yea, nothing beats seeing quake done in less than 15 minutes or something crazy like that.

o_dragonjojo · 03-29-2006, 10:22 PM

I saw the one where the guy beat monopoly for the NES or whatever in like 15 seconds.
I have no idea wtf happened.

o_blueiii · 03-29-2006, 10:29 PM

Thats a sweet speed run, but nothing beats the Goldeneye speed run. I think it was like 47 minutes without dying once in 00 Agent mode.
Yikes!

o_ivaqual · 03-29-2006, 10:34 PM

What the hell was that conc in the canals level, just before the passage with the manhacks ?

o_paft · 03-29-2006, 10:43 PM

I feel so alone. I've not been able to play HL2 yet.

o_porkchopvii · 03-30-2006, 12:04 AM

my comp can handle it.. so in th mean time while i save up, which im glad that FF hasnt released yet.. but i went and bought HL2 for xbox to see what everyone was raven about.. and boy i about crapped my pants. yes prolly takin a smal hit on graphics but still man.. kicks arse.. i havnt finished it yet.. funny doin the water route and the highway 17, i keep tryign to steer with view(halo style) so i messed up a lot. but still loving it none the less.

o_fragile · 03-30-2006, 02:50 AM

ha! i knew it could be done faster! i said something in the catacombs, like "i bet somebody can do it like 15-20 minutes faster..."

but 40? damn.

o_nuggs · 03-30-2006, 05:29 AM

now i know what concing, rjumping, and ramp sliding will be like in FF!

o_nezumi · 03-30-2006, 05:50 AM

You can also download via bittorrent, which will be super-seeded by superjer.com for ever and ever.

o_fresh · 03-30-2006, 09:31 AM

lol considering he replied within 7 minutes, id say its a fair bit more than half his life

o_magz · 03-30-2006, 03:35 PM

lol valk ^_^

It is in the process of being added to SDA.

To Defrag; I know exactly what you mean, 1hr30mins doesnt seem particularly "speedy" however, if you watch the vid you will see that it is extremely fast. I am almost positive that it could be done sub 1hr if it wasnt for all the waiting around for NPC conversations, we try and speed it up as much as possible by bonking them on the head as much as possible, but it still takes quite a while, and slows down the pace of the movie

Think it was the HLComics forum or something similar Circ

hard difficulty luminous ofc

o_ivaqual · 03-30-2006, 03:38 PM

Yeah, 1h30 may sound like a lot of time but it's really not, and although it gets kind of slow between the middle and middle-end, the vid is extremely fast-paced and the tricks never stop coming. Definitely a good watch if you are into that kind of stuff.
