New Half-Life Speed ​​Record 2: 41 minutes

Usually the passage of Half-Life 2 in a normal person takes a couple of tens of hours. Of course, there are gamers who can go through the game faster, but they are few. But there are those for whom the speed of passing games (speedran) is a vocation. The other day a record was set for the speed passage of Half-Life 2 - only 41 minutes.

Immediately it is worth making a reservation that in the process glitches and flaws in the game were used, if you move clearly along the plot, it’s impossible to pass a toy in such a time. But there were no cheats, no third-party software, only what is in the game itself.

As for the game itself, the 2006 version was used, which preceded the Orange Box engine, which was introduced in 2007. The passage was originally shown on Twitch, and then the record was posted on YouTube.

Glitches have been used a lot, including those that allow the player to roam the levels above the ceilings. Freman high-speed traffic was also used. Enemies at the same time just flew around, interaction with them was minimal.

The team that was playing the game not only recorded a video of the passage, but also posted a complete document describing all the glitches used, the segments of the game and comparing their results with the results of other "athletes."
