NEW RTCW run

2005-12-12 06:19:01 am

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

i have just completed my new RTCW done quick with a time of 46 min 30 seconds. I was wondering where i can upload to get my run put up here? i have a normal quality avi @ around 1 gb and a low quality @ 601 mb. all video settings are on high for this run, and the normal quality is 640x480 and the low quality is 320x240. i have already tried filefront to no avail, i keep getting an error. So does Radix have an ftp i can upload to?

Oooo an RTCW speedrun, I definitely want to see this.

For info on submitting your run, go here: http://speeddemosarchive.com/submit.html

Your 640x480 version is by default classified as High Quality. 320x240 is required for normal and low quality versions (though there are some exceptions, I saw one at 400x300 for example).

Are you sure you used the right bitrate settings for the normal quality version? 601 mb in 46 minutes is ~1700 kbps, nearly triple what it should be. Sounds like you will have to re-encode it.

Does this 58 minute run exist somewhere? It's not in the game list.

Nevermind, found the thread.

Great run, FU3L3D. This is definitely a keeper. Shocked

Shit this run is awesome. I especially like the last boss fight. Just great. Shocked

The best thing about this is that I, pretty much got the same route (including the shortcuts in Norway where you first "meet" the Lopers) until Norway. I thought an improvement of 5 minutes would be the maximum with the shortcuts I found till then. You proved me wrong.

reloading your weapons before approaching the final boss is important. true.

I don't want to ruin your plans, but if you want a "true" 100% run I guess you would have to include the kills as well.

That's impossible to verify, the game doesn't count kills. How should a verifier (or the player) know if that grenade he tossed through the door really killed the enemy in that room?

IMHO 100% would be 100% of everything listed at the debriefing screens, that is all Objectives, Secrets and Treasures.

as Tub said, how should the Verifier know I killed Every enemy. And it's impossible to get 100% kills you can't kill all of the enemys in the Forest level without getting detected.

Every Treasures, Secret room should do it. You need every objective anyway to get to the next level.

Correct.

Hm, guess it was too long ago I played this game because I was very sure it did actually count kills.

Obey the Daleks or be Exterminated! Riiiiiiight...

Sucks to be Heinrich, especially if rocks fall on you. Man, I didn't even know that Heinrich could easily be killed by just letting the pillar that blocks the end of the tunnel fall on him. That's really cool. I was like expecting you to blast everything onto him, but you hardly even used any of it. Excellent work on the run, FU3L3D!

On the cable-car bit, is it possible to jump onto the top of the cable car (as you do in this run), then jump from the roof onto the cable, and run/slide all the way down? I remember doing this when I first got the game (but it was some time ago so I may be wrong!)

Awesome run by the way, very entertaining 8)

100% runs=great to watch

Fantastic run! Clearly very well planned in regard to most everything. And such a crisp picture on the HQ version! 2 thumbs up.

No, theres an invisible wall which blocks you.
