Half-Life 2: DWaHMoV (Done With a High Magnitude of Velocity) - General

[QUOTE=Legolas;41349215]I feel like they could've knocked off a wee bit more time by redoing the 1:11:30-31 part. It seems like the guy accidentally hit the wall :v:[/QUOTE] I think Alyx talking is a timed section, and won't follow till she finished talking, so he didn't lose time. I could be wrong though

[QUOTE=343N;41349391]wow fuck off would ya [editline]8th July 2013[/editline] it ain't even working in sandbox servers for me. what[/QUOTE] Gmod runs on a fork of the orange box engine, so it's likely garry touched something and [del]broke it[/del] intentionally removed it

There's no anti bunnyhop in multiplayer so you don't get the backwards boost

the hopper ramp jump was incredible.

So what games does ABH still currently work on

[QUOTE=kidkiller745;41353780]So what games does ABH still currently work on[/QUOTE] It only works in singleplayer

[QUOTE=kidkiller745;41353780]So what games does ABH still currently work on[/QUOTE] All of the above.

[QUOTE=flyboy463;41342807]I suggest grabbing the (legit) torrent of this. Not only is it higher quality but there is also another audio track where they talk about how hard some of the segments are and some tricks that they used. There was quite a bit of trial and error and thinking on this run. [url]http://thepiratebay.sx/torrent/8652026[/url][/QUOTE] there's no commentary in this

[QUOTE=JerryK;41354618]there's no commentary in this[/QUOTE] Did you switch the audio track or is it just not there?

[QUOTE=mon_ons;41355112]Did you switch the audio track or is it just not there?[/QUOTE] How? I'm using VLC

[QUOTE=Camdude90;41355163]How? I'm using VLC[/QUOTE] Click audio at the top, then hover over Audio Track and choose track 1 or track 2, assuming it's there.

Yeah it's there. Works fine for me.

[QUOTE=JerryK;41354618]there's no commentary in this[/QUOTE] Yes there is.

The Route Kanal music kicking in at 13:50 just adds to the amazing-ness of the stunts.

*FOLLOW FREEMAN* "Yeh, goodluck shitlords."

I love how Breen just rolls his eyes and looks away when he lands in the elevator.

That citadel portion was insane.

I wonder why didn't they just ditch the airboat altogether? Like when he reaches the part where they give him the airboat gun he just leaves it there and goes on foot which is much much faster, i don't understand why couldn't they do that troughout the whole chapter?

Makes for a hilarious contrast at least. First few minutes, they're just going along in the airboat, nothing special aside from the insane tricks they do. Suddenly, you expect a gate to close, he uses the 'teleportation' of entering the airboat to skip the trigger, and then he gets back out and [i]zooms[/i] across the place.

The coast part was fucking awesome, I didn't even know it looped around like that. And the way they skipped the bridge by leaping over the whole thing. I fucking love speed runs. Also I like how HL2 is now another game where you can speed run it by running backwards.

[QUOTE=kidkiller745;41353780]So what games does ABH still currently work on[/QUOTE] Hl2, ep1, and portal 1. It also works in gmod singleplayer.

In root canal, why did the speedrunner get out of the airboat then get right back on it in the pipe/tunnel thing? Surely it would have been faster to just stay in the airboat.

[QUOTE=The freeman;41381571]In root canal, why did the speedrunner get out of the airboat then get right back on it in the pipe/tunnel thing? Surely it would have been faster to just stay in the airboat.[/QUOTE] If you mean at the big factory with the gates that close, it's to bypass the trigger that closes those gates.

Holy shit at 42 minutes when they just jump the whole fucking map

watching this video reminds me that half life 2's gameplay may have aged poorly IMO, but that soundtrack is so fucking good oh my god [editline]9th July 2013[/editline] "alright gordon, the car's ready for you." "or you can just run away and not take it you big piece of shit. whatever."

In the similar deal to Valve showing off in the excessively long HL1 tram ride, they make you do silly physics puzzles for the sole reason of "Hey guys, did you know we had physics? We know that in reality we don't know why anyone would make this puzzle, but physicssssssssssssssssss." They will introduce cool mechanics like the Bugbait or Floor Turret to never be used out of a chapter or two. The boss battles are painfully obvious and the only change that occurs is weather you have the RPG or not. After Nova Prospect when the rebellion is actually doing something, the game is just set up as throwing 10-20 enemies at you, going to a new area, and repeating until you get to the gunship or whatever that thing that wasn't the helicopter was. It's still a good game, but it [I]is[/I] definitely aging. Graphic wise, the only thing that looks kinda bad is the character's faces, especially the G-Man.
