Short version: If you jump backwards you go fast. Heres their explanation why thats so useful: One of the first things youll notice is how most of the speedrun takes place backwards. Some scripts (such as a jumping and duck spam script) were used. The version of the game is from 2009, build 4104. Segmented means that the run was done in multiple parts so riskier and faster strategies could be used. Timing starts when the crosshair appears and stops when it disappears. In order to make this work, some parts of the run werent done consecutively, so that particular strategies could be employed: This incredibly fast speedrun of Half-Life 2: Episode Two was pulled off by SourceRuns Team, and they managed make it through Valves shooter in record time: 30 minutes and 36 seconds. Still, this is something that will interest all Half-Life fans out there.Itd be easy to assume the GIF above is the most impressive part of this run, but its not. This mod is a bit short and feels unpolished and unfinished, even for a game jam. YouTube’s ‘paco robledo’ has shared a video showcasing this mod and from the looks of it, it feels kind like something in alpha phase.
Half-Life fans, here is something special for you today.
