Title: GE trick turns PD upside-down!
Post by: ExpertGamer64 on October 06, 2002, 10:22:00 pm
What GE trick you say? Well, let's think for a bit...

- The idea of frame rate making times worse came the first day the game came out. Conclusion: We turn off Hi-Res Mode.

- PDO shi.ts his pants when he flies accross the bridge w/o it being there in Ruins. Conclusion: Ngamer, Disco, Me, and others attempt to recreate but all fail. We stop all knowledge of this incident and forget that this happened.

- Vince fools around with Ruins and and flies accross the bridge like PDO, this time looking down. Vid proof comes. Conclusion: I own all and rapes the PA record by getting 1:38 PA. Other agent modes aren't affected. We all think nothing else afterwards.

- GE starts to flare up with tricks from no-body people. People rave to get into the action. Aztec trick, Looking-down trick, and Control trick (improvissed from Aztec). Conclusion: Dense PD people do nothing with the new trick.

Have you guessed the trick yet? Obviously its the looking down trick. Why has no one tried to get :26 War? Or 1:29 Invest? Or 1:09 Villa? Or even at least :01 off of every single agent record! (less Chicago cause Randy owns everyone ... 'cept me). Everyone should get going with this trick cause records will start to fall left and right now...starting with a :26 on War.

If it ever comes to the point where I have to look down at the floor 95% of the time to compete, I will kill myself, or die trying.

Looking down isn't a f.ucking GE trick.  It was first done in PD (villa etc..) but everyone was too lazy to try it further:p

Karl already commented on this in another topic. PD levels are too complex too look down in. I suppose some levels could be tried, but it would not be as easy as GE.

war... the one where you have to shoot the skedar king, navigate through a few skedar, slide through a door and of course, aim at the first skedar to kill him. shooting your explosive phoenix and such.

i'm sceptical so far.

I've worked a bit on Villa A and it appears it saves some time.Not too much , but at least 1 second as I now can activate the generator wind at high 51 , thing that was impossible without looking down.

Looking down is cake... if you play with cinema like me.

on infiltration i look down naturally at the start, but that doesnt really help i guess.  i guess i better try it on War A.  i dont care if i cant get 0:26, but 0:27 or 0:28 would make me happy.
also, it should work on chicago...seeing there are some big explosions on some parts, and lots of guards, it may save a second (SA and PA)

I already have 0:27 on War. I thought I would never play the level again.

Guess I was wrong.

I told you that looking down would speed you up. It has worked with GE. And everyone told me I was just a stupid n00b. :lol

This is how I managed to chop my Villa A time down to what it is now a couple months ago.  I simply looked about...60 downwards until I got to the floor just above the generator floor.  Using 1.2 also helped, I'll admit that.  :)

But I would notice that the game would stutter whenever I had a normal view going into the main open area, where the snipers first load.  Looking down takes care of that.

At the part where you have to activate the bridge, strafe down to the end of that hallway and make a u-turn quickly and strafe straight accrosss the gap while looking down. You should go straight accross and not fall.
