My feelings on The Demon Rush
Game Page: Doesn't exist yet.
Dmitry "KhanFusion" K.'s run on I am Death Incarnate difficulty
Decision: Accept
Reason: It's a fine addition to SDA's current lineup of FPS runs.
Khanfusion, I know we discussed timing your run, but I forgot which in-game time I was supposed to use. I think I was supposed to add up the times for each stage?
Dmitry "KhanFusion" K.'s run on I am Death Incarnate difficulty

Hi Mike,
I've verified the run and here's my summary:
-------------------------
I'd been following the RTCW forum topic and now I've watched KhanFusion's run a couple of times.
- The audio and video are in sync and the quality is good.
- I've found no consistency errors between segments. The selected weapon and the number of bullets in it check out between levels.
- There is no RTCW run on SDA yet, but various earlier speedruns are available elsewhere on the Net. This one is faster than those.
In the forum topic the runner said he made his first ~41-minute run only two weeks after seeing s1cksyst3m's run. But he wasn't satisfied and worked on it some more, and he further improved it by another 4+ minutes. To me this is an indication of talent & persistence.
The author's game comments explain the tricks very well. (The tricks tell of great in-depth knowledge of the game.)
This game could be considered the Doom3 or Crysis of the early 2000s. As such it deserves representation on SDA and KhanFusion's run fills the void very well. Recommended & accepted.

Video/audio: There are some framedrops, but nothing serious.
Cheating: No
Mission 1 Part 1
0:41 - I told the runner several times on forums to just jump on that railing on right, ignoring the sniper, but apparently he didn't listen. It's not really that hard not to get hit and even if you do, you'll have enough health plus this level is very short. Saves only about a second though.
Mission 3 Part 4
0:46 - He could have do a couple of strafe jumps before the gate lowers down enough to get more momentum.
Apart from these two things, I didn't see anything worth mentioning that is not described in runner's commentary.
I am definitely impressed with this run. It's quite a big improvement over the InsaneB4st4rd's (s1cksyst3m) run, which was never submitted on SDA, and there doesn't seem to be much to improve.
Verdict: ACCEPT

Verifier: oh I've watched it
Verifier: it's good, it's good
Verifier: I could elaborate but 'accept' is the crux of it
Verifier: there are some places where I remember actually doing a better job when I did a speedrun of RtCW for fun, but he ended up with better times on all levels, so I guess I can't criticize much
