And yes, I'm the one who is working on a Single-Segment run of HL2. I'm using the old version because ABH is too risky for a SS, and also I'll have flying. I am running with scripts though. Scriptless would be very hard for a noob like me Also, as S. said, I might lose motivation at some point (like I do on almost every project I make xd) and stop working on the run, so don't get hyped too much.
I've actually been working on a single-segment run of old HL2 as well, though I'm doing it without scripts. Honestly, it's not really that bad in my opinion. You can still use flying without scripts, but you have to be more picky about what objects you use, and in general it's a lot harder to fly for a long time, so it's more limited. Climbing with objects is a lot harder, and most of the work I've done so far in my run is figuring out methods for climbing more consistently without scripts. I've made some pretty good progress on that front, and I've been able to do a lot of the stuff from the old HL2DQ run consistently without scripts by modifying the strategies a bit.
But I'm actually kind of burned out right now and haven't done much work on the run in a while. Maybe we could collaborate at some point though. I've been pretty busy lately but this summer I'm sure I'll be able to work on the run.
At any rate I don't have much of an idea of how fast the run will be, since it's very much in early stages, figuring out tricks and so on. I'm sure it'll be under 2 hours, but I don't know by how much.
Half-Life (Ps2): Hazard Course speedrun done in 5:11 by SuperFrizzio
22 segments
The Hazard Course on Ps2 is different from the PC version, for example on Ps2 you can't die and there are more maps and invisible walls The differences video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=o--CoJiqOUg
The trick at 2:27 is the Angle-Jump Glitch, discovered by me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ennW7jiPC0U
Runs with scripts got put here due to SDA disallowing scripts after the runs had been made and put up on the site.
My current best Half-Life SS Hard No scripts time is roughly 3 minutes faster than my current SDA time. I might settle with this time since sub 37 is cool and sub 36 seems out of reach.
Badass, superfrizzio! I own the PS2 version too, and actually my friend and I did a speedrun of the Decay levels (though these days I can only find the first 7 levels of it ... no idea what happened to the others). Anyway, I look forward to watching both of these.
Any chance you'd take a stab at running the Decay levels with someone?
I don't like too much Decay because you can't save and you must do every level in one segment . For now I'm only interested at speedrunning Xen Attack, my favourite level. Can you post your speedrun?
Thanks for the new vids quadrazid! I hadn't seen Xeno Project or Life's End yet. And while I've seen a 12:41 of Case Closed, yours is obviously quite a bit better. Nice work.
