Re: Kill 'em all speed runs

In Response To: Kill 'em all speed runs (Rockslider) : Recently in the HBO news, Louis reported that High Speed Halo had a new : section on speed runs in which you kill all enemies. But I was : disappointed to find that their Full Path Halo runs aren't about killing : all enemies after all; they seem to be just like their normal : unconditional speed runs except that you have to cover the whole level : rather than missing entire chunks of it via one trick or another. As such, : it's still about bypassing as much combat as you can; which just ain't : right to a trigger-happy cyborg like myself. Naughty Louis - but he can : blame his source I guess, a well-known trickster beginning with D. : Anyway, it prompted me to completely rework Bad Cyborg's section on Kill 'em : all speed runs (in H1), which dates back to June 2005. The original piece : just gave the rough idea but this relaunch gets serious, going into : carefully considered play-tested detail on rules, aimed squarely around : plain old trick-free combat that takes full advantage of everything Bungie : laid on for us, rather than skipping as much of it as possible. Speed runs : for cyborgs who want to leave a trail of destruction in their wake! : I've included some run times if you want something to compete against for : starters. Sorry no videos (maybe one day), but if any site is interested : in starting their own video section for this type of speed run, be my : guest. : Talking of which, can any helpful person suggest any links to videos of : serious trick-free single-player combat, and without any annoying music : dubbed over the gameplay? I've not had much luck finding stuff like that. : And some of the stuff I have seen has been so gung-ho that I was : repeatedly wincing as the player diced with near-death experiences, shield : bleeping madly. I want to see some sharp serious soldiering, where it : looks like the player actually has an interest in living to see tomorrow! 1. It has nothing to do with me. The HSH guys operate on their own. I just mention cool stuff they do from time to time. 2. I apparently misunderstood the concept of the full path runs if what you say is correct. I'm a little disappointed to hear that involves skipping conflict. JH
