Mirror's Edge Final Level Shard Speedrun 5:20:97 & one aborted by EA's stupidity

HQ viewing advised.
For some reason this single player only game automatically quits to the menu if you lose connection to the EA server, which is only used in Speedruns to upload the time to the high score tables at the end. (I was still connected to xbox live - it was EA's server that broke).

I happened to be on an extremely fast start. Usually I aim for about 1:30 for the 2nd lift. I did get a fast run recorded after but there was over half a minute of mistakes/wasted time and a record wouldn't have gotten uploaded to EA's servers, so I left it at that.

i dont really understand this game, im on level 2, chapter 1 it took me a while to understand i had to go to these weird places and i dont know how to beat level 2 could you give me a few tips?

Right at the start you look up at the tall black building, that's where you are headed to, follow the items that show up red and use them to vault, swing and jump to and from. Over the electric fence then big jumps across 2 gaps until you go into the black building. Have you gotten there yet? This is maybe the longest level in the game so don't worry if it takes a while.

what was your actual time then?

[Fnordinary]

My fastest record was a 5:13 but it's harder to do one while recording because I have to play in SD not HD. The first run would have been much closer to that time, but I highlighted in this one all the places I made mistakes that I have done quicker, so theoretically if I made no mistakes I could do a 4:45 easily. The WR back then was a 4:38 or something. on 360 done with the constant jumping 'trick'.

Aw, the beginning message made me sad :(

But anyway, lovely job my dear, even if the server failed you!

[Fnordinary]

Thanks for the comments :) It's such a rewarding game to play when you get into the rhythmn of it.

Nevermind the servers, it was more the surprise of it that got me..
