Half-Life speedrun record smashed, video evidence is nauseating - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=Falubii;44538688]I've never really noticed anyone frowning upon.[/QUOTE] It's heavily frowned on by most casual players. There used to be tons of servers with antibhop mods and shit that restricted any sort of advanced movement [editline]13th April 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Midas22;44539023]They still needed to use a mod to get bunnyhopping working.[/QUOTE] They made a mod to use the old bhop from pre-steam HL but using post-steam HL features such as better demo recording/playback. It's pretty much the same gameplay you'd get from installing HL from the CD and patching to a specific patch

[QUOTE=Midas22;44539023]They still needed to use a mod to get bunnyhopping working.[/QUOTE] The mod doesn't allow them to do anything that wasn't already possible in first release half-life.

[QUOTE=slapdown3;44539179]The mod doesn't allow them to do anything that wasn't already possible in first release half-life.[/QUOTE] I never said it didn't.

[QUOTE=Midas22;44539023]They still needed to use a mod to get bunnyhopping working.[/QUOTE] i think all they did was revert to an earlier version of HL1, its stated in other speedruns at least that valve did a lot to fix most of these exploits, so this technically is impossible to do on the steam release version since these exploits and maphax have been mostly eliminated, still this makes me want to go back and play HL1 for some reason

hopefully now they can go outside and do other stuff

Wow this is insane to watch. I hardly feel like this is the same game I played

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;44538985]did you ever play cs 1.6 in the early days? if so then you would've seen it[/QUOTE] Man, I remember playing the release version of CoD and seeing people so angry at bhopers they pretty quickly patched it so spamming jump eventually slows you down to a crawl

Speaking of Half Life speedruns, the [url=http://speeddemosarchive.com/demo.pl?HalfLifeOpposingForce_easy_SS_2906]opposite force[/url] one is pretty fun, mostly because of the inverted camera machine gun boost exploit that looks silly as fuck.

i love how he flies through the room with the ninja chicks and doesn't take a single hit

okay i just watched the whole thing and wow, i am absolutely floored that people were able to do something like this.

jesus christ, i was barely able to keep up with what was happening at some points. it's like he's got noclip on.

[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;44540245]Man, I remember playing the release version of CoD and seeing people so angry at bhopers they pretty quickly patched it so spamming jump eventually slows you down to a crawl[/QUOTE] You weren't able to bunnyhop in CoD, you were just able to spam jump all the time. It didn't slow you but it didn't make you faster either.

One of the guys in this speed run also took part on the HL2 speed run. Kudos for him.

Some people say this is dumb and nonsense to spend 1000 hours to get a good time. But fucking look at these people, skill jumping takes some serious skill to pull off, where as some people just bash them for being no lifers.

[QUOTE=slapdown3;44539179]The mod doesn't allow them to do anything that wasn't already possible in first release half-life.[/QUOTE] Actually, it does. The latest release of Half-Life allows frame rates higher than 100 FPS, which can affect gameplay, especially the health provided by the door.

i didnt see that nvm this post

Pretty shitty twitch stream chat, anyone who dares to say that scripts can be considered tools gets flamed and/or banned. Ridiculous what people will do in the hope that "famous people" will agree with them. [editline]14th April 2014[/editline] I mean shit, I saw someone get banned for saying that this speedrun isn't actually representative of skill as much as it is of endurance/trial and error. It's like logic and rationality are thrown out of the window in favor of peer pressure.
