Barney: So Gordan, you have to lead numerous citizens through this open parking lot and through this abandoned train station while avoiding entire hoards of combine.... what do you think your chances of failure are?
i have something to ask you and i really need to know this whats the difference between steam game and non steam games because i want to get the orange box for my pc and i dont want to be left out of any thing because i made the wrong chose
@backWalters We use an AutoHotkey script in the run. What this does, is when the jump key is held down, it will spam the jumps key lots of times, repeatedly, allowing us to bunnyhop more easily. Wallclimbing uses this as well, but it will spam jump AND use.
@backWalters Transgenic86 has the route for a speedrun for it, though it is not optimised. At the moment, we're working on one. Don't expect it soon though. It'll be months before it's done. And there may not be bunnyhop, but there is something far better.
@Decklann In certain cases, the characters in the game have to be standing in a certain place for the story to advance. So if you can get them there quicker, you can make the game advance faster and save time. In these cases, if you bop them on the head with an object right, it will teleport them straight to that point. It's quite difficult to do, but it saves time.
at 1:24 the commentary track says they put the zombie on the planks of wood to slow the player down just enough to make sure they saw the screen change to the advisor making them realise they've been spotted
Please excuse me not shooting the Combine very well at the beginning. I was bloody happy how quickly the gunship died, and it made no difference if I got hit by the combine, though it just looks sloppy. You try getting the gunship dead that fast though :D
@zonetropper Post a video of you killing it faster and I'll believe it. That is pretty much optimal, only beatable I believe with faster quickswitching and fast rocketing more efficiently, which would be very hard to do.
6:23 - "No time to lose." How appropriate, Alyx.

I like the "You better move it, or I'll gently touch the top of your head with this splintered wood / suitcase / paint bucket / whatnot" trick. :)

actually, Gordon isnt that incredible considering tha fact that Alyx has went trough mostly the same places and finished at the same time as him....
seriously guys you are awesome, the 7hour war would really have lasted 7 minutes if you participated BUT the combine would have lost....
Good Job

@FKProds It isn't really plagiarism. More like similar ideas, or just copying a thought. As to why you care at all is beyond me.

Every Half Life 2 game ends with Gordon getting a concussion.
It's... not good to get that many concussions.
