After so many days of grinding Half-Life 2 for the best time, I have managed to beat Done Quickers time (40:49)! READ DESCRIPTION FOR MORE INFO!
This is an RTA run done live on my twitch channel: [ Ссылка ]
KEEP IN MIND! This run is NOT done on Any% No Voidclip. It is done WITH voidclips. Voidclip is a glitch we found back in 2015, but later in 2019 we decided to ban it because you can keep saveloading in the void to save some time in game time, but spend like 5 minutes in real time. This still means I manage to beat Done Quickers time using all the glitches that we know in Half-Life 2. (There are places in the video where it says when I will do a voidclip, and a loading bar to show how long I am save loading for)
This run is done on new engine, on the build 4104. You can see my UPS with a mod called ghosting, which we have used in Half-Life 2 runs for years at this point.
The biggest timesave in this run, is a glitch called quickclip. Quickclip is basically where we are able to take a box and then jump with it into a wall, and then suddenly we get through the wall to skip a cutscene.
It was around November 2020 that I discovered, with new small optimization strats we got recently from xeiz and maxam (huge shoutout to them) that a new decent RTA run of Half-Life 2 could bring the time down by a lot. I started calculating and found out that sub Done Quicker could be done with a perfect run. However a few more small strats got found that made it so I should be able to sub Done Quicker at any point. When I then decided to try and speedrun Half-Life 2 again back in January 2021, I started to improve a lot and fast and got my time from 47:37 to 45:06. Saving over 2 min and 30 secs without any new skips, only from optimizations. This was from grinding almost every day for 3 months straight. I then decided to come back to Any% to try and beat Done Quicker, and I manage to do that in about 2 weeks after coming back to this category.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! SINCE I STARTED TO SPEEDRUN HALF-LIFE 2 BACK IN 2017, MY LIFE HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED AND I HAVE GOT SO MUCH HAPPIER THAN EVER BEFORE!
Here is a list of people I would like to thank, that made me get sub Done Quicker possible.
raintnt_ (for teaching me how to speedrun the game in 2017 and competition in 2018)
waezone (for all the competition in 2019)
deathwingua (for all the competition in 2018)
Chili_n_such (For teaching me how to get consistent at some strats)
maxam (For all the competition in 2021 and to start this whole +strafe journey)
xeiz (For finding a lot of small strats and optimizations)
Gocnak (For ghosting mod)

MetalGio (For helping me with learning how to edit)
Everyone on my stream (Who has been supporting me and made me get this time!)
My in real life friends (For supporting me!)
Valve (For making this amazing game!)
I am still going to keep grinding Half-Life 2 in the future. There is still some stuff I need to take care of, before I am completely done with this game. And even then, I will still come back if new skips will be found or if someone beats my time. (I am not going anywhere)
If you have read this whole description, then you are an amazing person. Thank you for reading it all! Remember to subscribe to me here on Youtube, and follow me on Twitch to know when I will go live! You can also follow me on Twitter!
