'''World Record Strat - 1:03'''
'''World Record Strat - 1:03'''
−
The start here is VERY important. First decide if you rather exit the elevator on right strafe or left strafe. Left is easier because you can see where your going better, but right eliminates changing strafe on the catwalk which saves a few tenths, so its up to you. If you want the fastest starts, imediately exit the cinema, open the door as the screen is fading in, and switch to mines for a quick warp - as you turn into your strafe. LOOK AHEAD as you take this corner and continue through the door, aim slightly right to avoid getting stuck by guard. If you dont make it out of this room you should always be getting 0:05 pause outs.
+
Open the lift door and shoot no more than 5 bullets while in left strafe. Make a sharp right turn and go through the door. If Trevelyan beat you through the door, or you got stuck on these guards (which happens frequently) restart.
−
As you take the right turn down the stairs, back switch to ZMG if you did the mine warp, otherwise continue with the gun. (small things like changing weapons is up to the player). Around the bend in the catwalk - changing strafe if you start on left, and maintaining a horizontal angle always! THE GAY GUARD: this guy standing before the HARD bend, is very gay and likes to backboost you. Shoot him fast if you must, just dont get shot. This bend takes practice: keep close to the walls and turn fast and sharp. Stay level with the final bit of catwalk before turning a sharp right through the door, out onto the spiral of DOOM!!!
+
Keep strafing and make the progessive right downhill turn onto the catwalk. You can get a boost here sometimes. Make a sharp right on the catwalk keep close to the rails. Go through the next door onto the next catwalk. There is a guard here who will often backboost you or block your line. If he does any of this, restart. The catwalk makes a slight right turn, then a left. Keep strafing down the next part of the catwalk and go through the next door.
−
SPIRAL OF DOOM...
+
As you are going through the next door, switch to right strafe and start heading up the spiral. The spiral is the key part in this level. You want to keep as close as you can to the inside of the spiral, without getting stuck. This takes practice, but is needed for this [[WR]]. About a third of the way up the spiral you will encounter a guard. Pretend he isn't there and strafe as close to the inside of the spiral as you can. You will sometimes get stuck, and if you do, restart.
−
This is the most time consuming part. Staying close to the inside corner but not getting stuck in corners requires alot of practice and hardcore skill. Shooting the guard here DOES help... Dan Cervone (bless him) said in his strat that 1:03 is only possible without shooting this man, I will now say that 1:02 ISN'T possible without shooting him... LAG! he lags the final spiral section real bad. not good. so shoot the arsehole, and in one shot on strafe. Then you want to enter the CAVE of HELL without getting stuck.
−
THE CAVE of HELL is gay. This is where the run can either become great, or just dies. You want to move as close to the boxes as possible and keep good lines until the exit door. Seriously, I've eaten my hair out over the gayness of this room... not good.
+
Go through the door at the top of the spiral, hopefully getting boosted. It is possible (and acceptable) to get a backboost here as well. The room you enter now turns left, so do the same. Go through the next door and onto the next catwalk. Following the catwalk, make a right turn, then a left, then a right. Avoid all the guards on this catwalk. Go through the door on the right, and make a left down the next hall. There is another opportunity to get a boost here. Turn right down the final hall. In this area, you want to get as close to the left side of the hall as you can, without sacrificing speed, in order to avoid getting hit by the drone. If you go get a backboost from the drone, 1:03 is still possible. At the end of this hall, move a bit right and head towards the lift. Open the lift door and switch weapons or hope for a boost to quickly warp to the end.
−
THE BORING PART
+
Most 1:03s have a boost ratio of +3, though +1 is possible and even boost ratios have resulted in 1:03. It is reccomended to repeat this level until a good boost ratio is obtained for your best shot at this [[WR]].
−
just keep running along this catwalk and watching out for stucks until you turn right into... the drone room. After turning right for the final time, you have entered ...
−
−
THE FINAL STRETCH
−
this is where you start shaking and sweating and convulsing :D all good
−
Make sure you have a sharp and clean turn into the blue room, and take a deep breath. You want to enter on the left side and keep on this wall to avoid the drone backboost. Practice this and it makes sense. After the blue tunnel, move right ever so slightly to avoid a stuck, grip your control while yelling "SHOOT ME!!! SHOOOOT MEEEEE..." down to the elevator where you open the door from a distance and boost in and be all like "fuck..." *smiles* check your time and play again, and again, and again... until its 1:02 and I come to your house and kill you.
