This run was so funny. It was excellent until the part where I kill the 2nd to last guard. Right then I ran through an N-bomb and lost my mauler. I had to do a quick draw and get my falcon 2 out to kill the fu.cker. So I did that. Then at the last door, cass turned slow when she opened it. So yeah, I think I did great with what I had. I guess my next PA PR will be a WR.
edit: great, an hour more of playing and nothing. I can't wait till I just get the damned WR so I can play Agent. Dropping the bombspy off is very annoying IMO.
Ok, I am pretty sure I'm just gonna leave it at this. I'm not gonna play seriously on this level anymore. (SA and PA at least). The only way I'll improve is if I play just for the heck of it and get damn lucky. Or perhaps if I feel like spending another 10 hours on this level someday. It is kind of cool playing at a level until you are on the edge of WRs instead of quitting once you get 80+ pointers though.

There is a LOT less luck than everyone makes it out to be in MBR. Luck parts... On A/SA, getting into the 2nd elevator smoothly is a luck part.
Getting cass to run fast is based on luck. And if you think there is some trick you can use to make her run fast... you're wrong. It just means you're a n00b to the level. Also, you want her to run immediately. So for the absolute best run, you must get a fast cass that runs the instant you get done skipping her speech. Also, you must NOT let a fast cass open any door except the very last one. If you do, chances are she will turn into a slow cass, and it would waste time even if she didn't.
The other things that depend on luck are the guards mostly. Sometimes they can be real dumbasses. Throwing N-bombs, and shooting you out of the way are annoying, as well as getting in the way occasionally. And sometimes (not too much) Cass will go in kind of a circle, which wastes time. Ah, and people may believe that Cass talking or not talking on a run is based on luck. It is in a very small way, but 99% of her talking can be avoided if you know what you're doing. One of the very worst things you can do is get in front of her, except for in the 2 spots where you must open a door for her quickly.
Speech skipping might also be somewhat based on luck. I can skip both of them cleanly about 75% of the time though so I'm not sure.
If you're good, then 1:30/1:34/1:38 should come (VERY easily if you know the right strat) without much trouble in the luck deptartment. An hour tops for those. If you can't get them, don't blame it on luck. You just suck.

Sucky run but at least it's worth more than 2 points like my previous time. I need to work on the lasers.
Oh, and something strange happened on this level when I threw the dragon. It sounded like it was bouncing around when I was going to the door with the drugspy, then it started some kind of chain reaction of explosions that went on for about a minute or two. This happen to other people?

On PA I can't seem to go into the elevator in the beginning without being seen or something. There is always a guy waiting at the bottom and it never happens on SA. for my 2:32 I went and got the disguise first instead cuz I suck. The rest of the level is cake actually.

I got leaderboard #5 overall, #3 currently. The PA run really sucked, but the beginning is funny because I took out the far cloaked guard and then had 1 bullet left for the other, and after wasting time finding him, I shot him right in the head, it's so funny.
I'll come back to this level on another date.

I messed up the ending again with a hesitation before Jon's last line, oh well.
Post by: Wouter Jansen on June 04, 2003, 04:51:00 pm
This was quite tough. What TTs do you need for 1:39?
I catched the 1st lift at about 55 high (closed), the 2nd lift at about 1:20 low I think (closed). So I suggest 1:18 the 2nd lift closed, and/or 53 for the 1st lift. but like.. I don't see where I lose 2 sec. I don't do the shooting at the start as fast as Karl, and the hole is little slower. but I'd say that would make 1 sec together. Also, my 1:41 must have been like 1:41.99

I'll tape over that SOS and work on it for 2:15ish. Shade will be proud that I can actually do well on AB now.

The SOS had a bad ending, but I'll stay with it. P2 was just another one of those first completions after getting used to the level. I'll get back to it later.

AF1 A 0:56.05
this came preety fast, and was kind of a lame run. i was slow at some parts, but the pres was hella fast. after that, i was goin for 55.. and did a 'perfect' run - fast blondes, fast pres - and when the pres is getting into the pod.. the game FREEZES! oh how cool is that! it was a 55 for sure..
btw im just playing for fun.. i dont wanna own anything or move up at the rankings. AF1 is just a fun level.

wtf i dont believe i got this in 5 min of play.. i was lying around the level, and when i saw i got a good pilar combination i thought "hum lemme try". man, i hadnt played the level for like 3 months, and i did everything smooth, no door-stuck, good skedar jump.. only one door wasnt opened like Zeebo's 1:29, or else i'd have the wr. it was like 1:30.5 or so..
Post by: Boss on June 06, 2003, 12:00:00 am
Man, this is a tough level to do real fast. I did get another 29 SA, so that is now on tape. If there's a reasonable WR to go for other than Def 6 and Duel 9, it would be SA 28. I failed several although I'm not sure how legit the sloppy mine throws were.
Rescue A 1:33*
I got stuck after blowing up the wall for a sec, but the rest was reasonable.
Rescue SA 2:28*
I think I had a faster 2nd lift than my agent, but I lost time here and there, but a good run overall.
I'm gonna pwn Escape SA/PA soon. I had a 1:53 Jon and screwed up badly from there... just maybe a level I suck at could turn 180 degrees, aka leaderboard.
Post by: Your Eliteness on June 06, 2003, 04:20:00 am
More info in a few hours, hopefully. Gotta eat pizza now.
EDIT: Okay, here's all the details...
I popped the first guard in the head.
I missed Jon but turned and got a headshot quickly (he was at the closer side)
I fired my Magnum at Trent and paused. The crosshairs were on the right hand side of him. I unpaused, the crosshairs snapped back onto his chest and the gun went off. I was in shock and looked at the timer. 0:10.8x.
Geez, I only wanted 0:11.
EDIT 2: Attack Ship SA 2:59
Now I bet some poor bastard will read that and think it's PA.
Anyway, it was a nice run. I think it was a 1:53 locked door.

haha, these sucked but this level isn't too bad. I should FINALLY improve that agent time now. 1:04 is just not acceptable anymore.

Maian PA 2:31. 2nd lift arrived at about 2:07 high low 2:08.
Also taped 2 Investigation SA 2:18s. about high 1:36 low 1:37 bots. I've only had one bot faster so far, being 1:32, but I @#%$ up that potential 2:13 by leaving to early at uploading.
I can't forgive myself for that. I was surprised that PAL could get such a bot.

What the hell?!?! I was trying for this earlier today but I couldn't seem to hit jon when I killed the first guy. I went on to get War! A 0:28 and and Ruins PA 2:04. Then I came back to Duel and after like 4 or 5 tries I kill the first guy on 0.13 then do a perfect shot to jon but HE WAS ON THE WRONG SIDE!!! I PEGGED HIM RIGHT IN THE HEAD FROM THE OPPOSITE SIDE TO GET...dududuh.., 0:06.98

Post by: iggy on June 07, 2003, 05:32:00 pm
I was going through the 3rd door in the level at about 14.2. A little too nervous to look at the time after that. Good speech skips. Bad post-elvis. Got stuck from the guards going up the stairs while reloading. Only bad part really. Gave up on 1.2, again. Definately going to work on this one more.
Post by: Wouter Jansen on June 07, 2003, 07:45:00 pm
)David, you can't have killed the first guard in duel at 0.13.
You need to pause and the fastest for that is probably 0.10 to have it working, then you still have to spin before you hit him. You probably paused at 0.13.
I'd like to see that SA 0:06. Although 6.98 is not perfect, there sure are faster runs around.
What did you mean with that "I just got another perfect duel 6 and going for better than 9 on pa"? Are you trying for Duel PA 8? Good luck it will probably annoy you alot. It probably requires insane perfectness.
Good going, Bryan.
Now my latest sucktastic time.

I meant that I was trying to improve my 0:11 PA duel to 9 or 10 after I got the 6 and my second run for PA I got a perfectly to trent which would've given me a 6 on SA. I just thought it was ironic.

I've been playing MBR SA. Tonight I managed to get 1:28 3 times. Also I got some good TTs. Such as a 43.23 disarming and once I got cass to the last ramp at 1:18 (level ends 6 - 7 seconds after). What happened then was that she went around the rail of the ramp at the bottom. I should have ran ahead of her and blocked it but I was dealing with a stupid guard and being a dumbass. I will untie it sooner or later.

Okay, I haven't PR'ed or played Perfect Dark in about a year. I don't know why I just woke up this morning and decided to play it, and I don't think I'll continue.
I get too impatient anyway, and this crappy Skedar SA run wasn't even with the good pillars. I had the first close-up pilla, the one near the reaper-toting Skedar to the right of the cliff, and the pillar waaaaay in the far back of the level. And I got stuck on lots of doors. I could easily take 2 minutes off my PA time, but what's the use?

Pretty fast Cass and all , but I did loads of mistakes that costs me a nice 1:36.First I didn't skip Cass' last speech , and the bitch was ready to move before finishing.1 sec here.
After that on the top of the stairs I pushed her too hard so that she did a 360 and ran weirdly.1 more sec here (TT=she entered the room at 1m11)
And at the end of course , on the LAST corner , she went mad again and did some more 360 so that to show me she can dance pretty well.2 secs lost here.
At least now I know how to get good Cass consistently.

and almost nothing seemed to go right. I'm surprised at this time.
Post by: Boss on June 14, 2003, 01:25:00 am
Wow, I wasn't expecting this to pop up. I also got a crap 1:57 PA that had bad pillars, slow skedar army part, etc.

Annoying level, but I will not give up.
It feels great to shoot the alarm guy in the head with a crossbow in full strafe

Post by: JugadorJ3 on June 14, 2003, 04:30:00 am
140 infiltration SA. I broke my own. but OMG worst run EVAAARR!
Got stuck at the top of the ladder for a second... and leaving the second lift i get stuck on the door then escape and get stuck on a guard...
1:40.06 was the decimal.
Post by: Your Eliteness on June 14, 2003, 06:14:00 am
Air Base PA 2:36
On the PA run, I got to the last lift with gunfire in my ears and saw it half open. I didn't know if it was opening or closing. There was about an inch left until I realised it was closing, so I reopened it and hopped inside
If you call that lift does it come back? Or is it like the first lift?

After 2 1:58s and 1 1:57, I'm glad to finally hit the milestone. I could probably get 1:55 without even doing the devastator shot the WR way since I had to take out 2 guards at the bottom of the lift instead of the 1.
Nice SOS leaderboard Wouter.

Post by: KillerSim7 on June 15, 2003, 05:58:00 pm
I got this with the techie guy in the room where I plant the explosive. I had to call the 2nd lift back up cuz of that too. I think that I can get 1:48 with the techie down there if I time the lift for it, and maybe 1:44? if I get the card before I go down (not sure how much time that saves. I'm guessing 4 seconds).
Some of the TTs I get (not necessarily on my PR run)
Get shield - :41.xx
1st lift shuts - ??? (I know it begins to shut at about 1:01 (and maybe a bit earlier) on some of my runs)
I don't know any good ones I've had after that. I'm sure if they were any good at all I'd have a better time. Worst things about this level.... Waiting the cinema, and trying to knock out the techie before he drops down that hole. Rest is fun. I need to talk to Matt some more about it. Can't believe I typed all this for a crappy PR.

Post by: KillerSim7 on June 15, 2003, 11:33:00 pm
Ugh, I cut the cinema earlier so I could get the keycard way easier, but then I ended up waiting several seconds at the 2nd lift as well as running into the wall instead of through the last door to the end. Could easily have been 1:46. I've decided this level is very gay. Now for 1:15 agent.
Post by: JugadorJ3 on June 16, 2003, 02:36:00 am
start just before the cinema ends (half a second)
start when carrington says 'away you go to the hanger'.\
the latter is hard to make the lift (kinda)
the prior is hard to make the techie due mainly to his randomness.

no new pr's, i just got these again.. the 1:56's were with at least 4s of stuckage and no doors opened.. the 2:15 was with lotsa stuckage too.. i hope to get the SA wr tonight (hopefully around 1:52-1:53).
btw i need tt's for SA.. i want to know if those are enough for the WR:
door to moonpool lift - 0:22.8
skipping speech at GPS (first speech) - 0:38
door to generator - 0:50 (got a 0:49)

I just barely got this taped.. the tape was at 0 left haha.
Anyway this level is kind of fun would I not get shot back like thousand times every run.
This was a high 1:19 2nd lift.
About high 55 first lift I think it was.

The thing that makes this level so hard is getting Elvis to complete obj 3 AND live. I think I can get around 3:40 if he would work with me more often. Living the level is finally not a problem for me anymore.
It's just one of those levels that I have to keep playing over and over until everything falls into place.

What i do is left strafe up and as soon as i'm no longer on the ladder i switch to only left strafe button and move to inline with the button. After i hit it i use right strafe to get out of the tower and change to left ASAP to go to the techie.

I use left strafe* into the left side of the wall beside the door (not the side of the lift) and as soon as the lift has been going exactly 5.5 seconds i change to right strafe and head for the middle of the door. Use right strafe all the way from here for best results.

Invest SA 2:15.1X
I had a 1:33 bot, I had gotten 2:15 with a 1:34 before. I knew 2:14 was very possible here. I released the CamSpy perfectly and opened the doors perfectly. Then I perfectly ran into the last laser as it deactivated and bounced me back, losing almost a second.
This is what my day plan is for tomorrow:
9:00 am - Wake up, maybe have something to eat. Start playing Invest SA.
12:00 noon - Have a biscuit or something to keep myself alive. Keep playing Invest SA.
6:30 pm - Stop and have dinner
7:30 pm - Play more Invest SA
Midnight - Go to bed.
So you might not be seeing much of me tomorrow.

Escape A 3:23 [-0:12]
Air Base A 1:59 [-0:30]
Crash Site A 2:10 [-0:30]
Deep Sea A 4:47? [-0:03?]
CI A 1:24 [-0:09]
Skedar A 2:22 [0:20]
MBR A 1:56 [0:05]
Still don't get Deep Sea...I'm missing something fundamental there.
But, a full 2:02 off my Agent total brings it under 40:00 to 39:54. On to get SA 1:20:00 and PA 2:00:00, which will bring my total time under 4:00:00.

Maian SA 4:25 [-6:33!]
Duel SA 0:07 [-0:01]
Passes a few benchmarks: Goal #2, SA 1:20:00, passed with a total of 1:14:47. I'll probably stick with SA to get Escape and Deep Sea below 5 minutes. Also, total time is below 4:30:00 at 4:27:24. Finally, 11 more points scored with Duel SA 0:07.

Didn't manage to get under 5 minutes on Escape or Deep Sea. I know I can get Escape, but even if I could successfully defend Elvis from up top where the 2nd teleportal is (can't do that yet), my time would still be in the mid to low 6's.

All SA times under 6 minutes. 2 remain over 5 minutes (Escape 5:33, Deep Sea 5:58). Going to move on to PA as soon as I can parlay my SA total below 1:00:00 (current total 1:04:39).
Also, the Rescue run was not spectacular...I should be able to break 2:00 without too much trouble.

I guess I'll keep working on this level until I get 1:20-1:22. I can pretty much get 1:23-1:27 on any given run that obj 1 and 2 complete. Most of the time lost time comes down to the damn Pres...

Oh, and Bryan, any tips on Defense A 0:53? I have 54 and I get in the last room at 52 or better now almost every time. Any way to make the ending faster? DMan's run had a 1 second ending.

Cassandra and hostages, the amount of gayness they possess doesn't differ much...
As for PA, I am not sure if I use the right strat. After you plant the bomb in the lift, I head for the lift, then I unleash the bomb spy, go in lift, then use the bomb spy, lift stops, it says obj 2 completed, lift continues, continue as normal, and then I have to wait 3-4s for the other lift to arrive. Is that the right way of doing it? Please, somebody respond!

I don't know if I should be happy about the time or not. With a 29.50 speech skip, I should have closed the deal with at worst 54, but because I don't use N-Bomb strat, a guard on the stairs @#%$ with me for 1-2 sec. Oh well.

P2 PA 2:29*
I had 4/5 of my life left, jeeze. That doesn't mean I want a lower time anytime soon though because the area around Elvis is a pain. I took pretty much every guard out around there.
CS PA 2:02*
- 1:22 just passed the saucer on the very right side of the rock heading back due to taking out the respawning guard
What shocked me the most about this run was that the Pres was heading the other way, or to the left side of the rock when exiting the tunnel. I just decided to keep going heading back to the tunnel on the left side of that rock as the Pres was passing on the right. (normally it's the other way around) Btw, I used the faster strat and didn't strafe a whole lot the last 20 sec of the mission really. I could see the WR going even lower than 1:56.

wouter or bryan or whoever, tell me whatever i may be doing wrong.. i need at least 2:00.

This could have been 43, but I had to get stuck a couple of times in the end. The lift was closed around 17.3 (17.0 is my best) Too bad 43 is only 1 point though, not even worth the time.
Post by: Your Eliteness on July 04, 2003, 07:18:00 am
1. WR strat
2. Anael Raffin's video
3. Old (non glitch strat)
I got 0:45 with Anael's strat, so yeah. Works for me. What lift is the 'lift close'?
EDIT: Nevermind, Wouter told me.
Post by: Wouter Jansen on July 04, 2003, 10:02:00 am
argh this day is bad, really bad.. first, my vcr goes totally crazy & weird. does it think it can become me or something?
anyway, it suddenly stopped recording and started rewinding while it was not at the end of the tape. then after like a minute rewinding, it just stopped and turned off. so I try another tape. it spits it out at once. wtf. I tried pulling it out the socket where it gets its energy, and back in other sockets, but no. I suppose it's dead. so I use my other own vcr now, but like you might already know, that one sucks even more for recording ntsc... I just watched the final part of my 1:37.. it seems clearer than before, but it still has grey "flies" like every 5 seconds for a second or 2. fatherfucking bad luck.
oh well, about the run.. this level is so shitty (so far).. I sucked so much that I had a 1:00 2nd lift or so, and obj 2 hardly EVER completes =\ and then I think I had a slow ending.

Heh, I initially had a bad Cass so after I closed the brown door on her before the stairs, she turned good.

this was lame.. comparing my tt's with bryan's or shade's, im at least 0.5 slower at the beginning. i also was slow to kill guards at RCP room.. the 1st elevator door closed at 43.80, that's all i remember (i didnt tape it).. is that any good?

43.70 1st elevator closed
1:14.75 uplink (yeah that's right, .75)

Damn, she has to spin at the end to cost me the 1:29 and the tie of Karl. I think I'm done with the level for good though unless something else comes up. AS agent will be next, hopefully I can get the 4 sec time saver to work there and get 2:19ish.

About a week ago I played this level for a whole day without one damn completion. Today I played it for 30 mins and got this. The best I had done before was failed 2:04's.
I saw a guard on the ledge near the end who was running away from me. He went around a corner so I didn't fire at him. I went around the corner to see him fall off the ledge and into the pit
But then I almost got killed and got over it.

The Investigation run should be a 5:30, at least...I missed the lift coming back up in the Avenger room and lost a full 20-30 seconds. Also, played it safe through much of the level, including shooting all 3 drone guns at the end.
Institute should be a 1:05, missed the door glitch and had to go around the far corner in the firing range to kill the 2nd guard.

The techie fell down the hole so I had to call the lift after setting the explosives. I killed a few bastards while I waited for the lift to arrive.
I never saw the last lift open, so I injured the bastard next to it and called it. I turned around to finish off the bastard when the lift opened (almost instantly). So I said "Screw this bastard" and jumped in the lift.
All guards on Infiltration are bastards

I think I had a 1:32/1:33 bot, but I don't know for sure which because I barely made the lasers at all.

Institute A 1:02 [-0:15]
Very happy with these (still crappy, yes I know) PRs. Institute, used both combat boosts, got the door trick, clean by my standards. Defection times are still glitch-free. Investigation, hit the lift in the K7 room on the way down at about 1:18, got to the lasers at 2:48 or so with a few seconds to spare, 1 whole bot cycle earlier than my PR, to get that 4:33. BTW, it's worth a whole *5 points*!
Post by: Boss on July 10, 2003, 03:51:00 pm
- mid-high 41 door and mid-high 1:19 lift closed, had trouble getting a dragon after case, probably not a good ending to Shade's standards

1st try - Shut the first lift on myself and didn't notice. Wasted about 10 seconds.
2nd try - Would have made the 1st lift but a guard shot me and made me go near the switch, got stuck.
3rd try - Had to re-open lift, wasted about 5 secs.
4th try - Perfect, except I had to re-open the last lift (1:49)
Not that anyone cares. Next time I play this, I might try going to the toilet during the opening cinema.

This seriously took me about 10 minutes after I got the hang of deploying the Drugspy. The only things I feel I messed up were the beginning as usual (20.6 door...) and the ending was a little slow to activate lasers I would reckon.

). This took me like 2 hours today. I still can't do the jump constantly. In all, I think I got it like not more than 10 times today (not all on good runs, most of them were on failed runs I continued). Still worth a nice 90 pts (11 pts more for me)

"How to screw a run 101"
I'd like to introduce you to Shade who will tell you everything needed to screw a run.
First of all, you must be in a really really good run, WR being possible. Then what you have to do is very simple. Just screw in a wall, guard, door. Whatever fits your mind and stick there for 1sec. You think you didnt screw enough? Just screw in the lift's door, it works perfectly I can tell you. And then just complete the run normally and finish with a beautiful
1:54 Infil PA.
@#%$ this level.
Post by: Boss on July 16, 2003, 12:02:00 pm
Well I did just that, by not pulling out the CMP in the end and getting stuck like no one else has in the history of G5 (like 5 sec). I saw the clock at around 42.8 when the explosion went off.
Anyways, maybe it would have rounded up so not a big deal.G5 A 0:43*

- had to open door after alarm
- still took out alarm guards
- kinda slow getting decoder out

If you throw the Dragon directly underneath the glass, the glass doesn't break. If you throw it to the left, it does. Very weird. I was testing this and threw it an insane distance to the left (almost aborted because is was so far), but the glass still broke.

Door near the mines - 0:29
Talk to Jon - 0:58
Medipack decides to work - 2:55
I had 1:45 as I approached the door to the room where Jon plants the explosives. I was then bombarded with messages and couldn't see the TT for when the horrible music started.
Those are the only TTs I remember.

MBR A 1:25!
This could have been the world record, but I double tapped B at the last door and got stuck while holding it open, therefore blocking Cass's path. I speech skipped both lines too (quite hard for me on NTSC).
41.7 disarm Cass
About :50 enter door at bottom of stairs
About 1:00 at base of the first ramp (indoors)
I think it was 1:17 at the base of the first outside ramp.
EDIT:
I've made the MBR leaderboard! (My first one!)
Total Agent time is now 25:59
Total time is now 1:49:09

btw, nice job on mbr YE. It's probably not a bad thing you double tapped the door though, because it decreases the chances of her talking if you wait a little bit there.

This level is fun. I get most of my PRs in the first five minutes of playing.

Extraction Agent 0:54.08
Better than 0:55, I guess. I couldn't see anything wrong with this run.EDIT: Small emoticon error, and...
I've discovered a new trick in MBR. I ran up to Cass and punched her in the face, then paused to speech-skip Mr. Blonde's line. I heard nothing so waited a few secs, unpaused and paused again. I heard his "Go-", meaning I'd missed it. So I got angry and punched Cass in the face again, and to my shock Mr Blonde stopped his line and Cass said hers.
This might work anywhere with any line, but the person who you're speaking to must be of 'enemy' status, I think.

Not too shabby. I'll get the WR for sure. Fear me also when i start to actually skip the alarm guards.
35.01 camspy
shot alarm guards
shoddy end - could have been 49 for sure.
I have this taped and i'm going to capture it... I think i might do stuff different to others... I haven't seen an SA vid for yonks.
edit: on careful review of the vid, i see that i skipped the alarm guards, but got stuck on the stairs guard for a second. I'll have to start skipping them all the time if i want a good time
Though I'll stand by at least 49 being possible w/o skipping them. (duh)

1. All experiments are the first ones you activate
2. Jo doesn't tell the angry scientist to turn off his experiment (and hence no alarm being activated)
3. Not getting shot until leaving the last experiment room.
4. Making the lasers with 2 - 3 seconds to spare.
That happened to me. I got shot once leaving the last room, I felt like Neo in the Matrix, dodging all the bullets and stuff. Anyway, I connected to the PC, took the CamSpy photo and waited for the Door Unlocked message. I got shot maybe once or twice while waiting in CamSpy mode. After it appeared, I exited the CamSpy, strafed to the left and hit B to open the door. I missed it. Didn't notice until about 1.5 seconds later when I tried to go through it. Wasted another few seconds opening it (got shot HEAPS more), and got through with almost full red health.
I'm thinking "I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die" as I ran into the room with Dragon guards. They all fired, I freaked but kept my aim on the door. I entered the corridor to the shield tech room. I killed the first guard easily, and went to the door. I killed the guard on the right but the guard on the left ran towards me. So I ran past him to continue on (and avoid being punched) but he shot me in the back and I died. My end time was 2:30, and I estimate that I would have picked up the shield tech item at that time. It looks like it would take 16 seconds to get the the end, so my time would have been 2:46, tying Matt's.
TTs
Wooden door - 0:21
First door to main corridor - 0:29
Released from lift - 0:48
Main corridor after deactivating first experiment - 1:05
Enter last experiment room - 1:20
3rd last door to lasers - 1:35
First laser down - 1:39
Go through first laser - 1:40
Uplink complete - 2:05
Questions
Is there any way to make the guards open the wooden door consistently?
When an alarm is activated, no matter how fast I turn it off, the CamSpy is always destroyed. Any advice? (Karl did his failed run with an alarm being activated)
Any help on making Joanna shut up when it comes to talking to the angry scientist?
Useless Facts
Most of my runs end up being aborted at the wooden door.
I find it easier to speed strafe (not breaking strafe) from the lift through to the first experiment room, and maybe fire if the door opens in front of you. I barely get shot.

Pelagic II SA - 2:06

Made the lasers with a bit over half health.
Uplink guys shot me once, my health was now half.
Third-last guy to the shield tech item decided to roll so I couldn't kill him
I was slow killing the next two guys and only killed the one on the right.
Pulled out Dragon, got shield tech item, ran back and wounded both of them.
Stupid bastard in the main room shot my health into the red.
Same bastard shot me again when I was in the autogun room, almost full red.
Didn't get shot by autoguns.
End time = 2:44.00
I got this literally 10 minutes after waking up. Now I give to you...
How to Screw a 2:12 Invest SA Run in Three Easy Steps
1. Play the level as normal, but get a 1:31 bot
2. Forget to do the CamSpy trick (2 secs lost, 1 sec for each door)
3. Bring out the uplink just before opening the 3rd door past the lasers, which makes the door not open upon first B-pressing (understand?)
End Time = 2:15.36
I shouldn't have played this after PA, I forgot about the SA tricks
