So, a speedrun aware egoshooter might provide several ways to confront a group of enemy units - quicker ways that will require you to confront more enemies at a time and/or from a less advantagous position, and slower ways in which traps can be activated or the enemies confronted one at a time. On the other hand, in real life warfare, egoshooters played online, or strategy games, moving ahead quickly will result in more damage, not less. Michiel Sikma, 10:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC) Pretty cool game, but what I had in mind is this: In egoshooter speedruns the player will usually be barely shot at, simply because the AI isn't prepared to shoot at something that moves this quickly. A notable example is Umihara Kawase, which can be finished in less than two minutes using a proper route. If we could only get in touch with them! - Michiel Sikma, 10:33, 29 April 2006 (UTC) Oh, to answer your second question, there has never been made a (commercial) game for speedrunning, but there are plenty which have great speedrunning potential. Other than that, I haven't ever heard about what the makers of the games think about speedruns.

#MOS SPEEDRUN 2 ACHIEVEMENTS ARCHIVE#
All I know is that John Romero has one Quake speed demo on Speed Demos Archive ( link to his profile). In Metroid Zero Mission, however, specific 'hard-to-execute' and 'hard-to-find' routes were left available to enable the "13% runs" (and under) as well as some speed runs. Yes in Metroid Fusion, there's a trick called the "Shinespark" trick that requires an ungodly amount of skill, but is possible, this however is not a speedrun trick. Has there ever been a game that had been optimized for speedrunning? (like, for example, shortcuts that require unreasonable amount of skill) The guy who speedran Quake IV suggested on, that the game had been adapted as to prohibit common speedrunning tricks. Do they like to see people find loopholes in their code, or generally appreciate the effort putting into perfecting playing the game, or are they angry because runners rip through the stuff they carefully put together? Are there copyright concerns? It'd be interesting to know what the developers think about speedruns of their games.

Michiel Sikma, 08:47, 12 April 2006 (UTC) Game developer's position? Is there any page that they made that just plain states how long it is, who made it, and perhaps some information on how it was made? I know I can go to SDA for that, but it'd be nice to hear it from them as well. Michiel Sikma 14:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC) Half Life 2 in 2 and a half hours Michiel Sikma 06:36, 10 March 2006 (UTC) Maybe it will work if I change the font to a monospace one. I'm hoping they will fix it as soon as possible. It got broken when something else got fixed. Michiel Sikma 23:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC) If you're wondering about the internal links being messed up, it's a known bug. I think the most neat way is adding the date to every event. Nifboy 08:28, 9 March 2006 (UTC) It's possible to put single-pixel vertical lines in there, but this looks pretty ugly. Is there some way to put some kind of marker in so as to indicate that these are events and not durations of some kind? It's excessively confusing otherwise. Megadodo 00:26, 5 March 2006 (UTC) Timeline I can't find anything that says otherwise either. Michiel Sikma 06:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC) As far as I know, Rast's run is still the fastest recorded ascension (by turn-count, anyway). Maybe someone who knows about Nethack could figure out what really is the fastest ascention? I've removed the template for now since a mentioning in the talk page is good enough. Apparently, the listed "fastest ascention" isn't really the fastest at all at least, according to this anonymous user. Someone left a template in the Nethack section.


Doing so will additionally earn you the Apex Predator achievement. It is possible, though extraordinarily difficult, to complete all four of these on a single run. You will receive the Beast personality for your reward. March of Sacrifices Challenger is awarded for completing the four listed achievements in Veteran March of Sacrifices. Complete the listed achievements for Veteran March of Sacrifices.
