Using Glitches and Tricks to Beat Half-Life 2

World Record Progression: Half Life 2 (New Engine) - Episode 15

Glitches explained:
• Jumping backwards and gaining speed - Accelerated Back Hopping aka ABH
- Jump forward, turn around in the air and jump right as you land. It's recommended not to hold S or W (or your respective keys for moving forwards and back) while ABHing. Binding +jump to mouse wheel is recommended as it makes timing jumps a lot easier.
- When you exceed the game's speed limit, the game tries to slows you down whenever you jump, back to the desired speed. By default the game thinks that you're moving forwards, so when you exceed the speed limit, it'll accelerate you backward. If you are facing backward, this will only increase your speed. So, the faster you're going - the more you will get accelerated.

All variations:
1. Accelerated Backwards Hopping (ABH) - Crouching version
2. Accelerated Sideways Hopping (ASH) - Crouching version
3. Accelerated Backwards Hopping (ABH) - Standing version with walking
4. Accelerated Sideways Hopping (ASH) - Standing version with walking
5. Accelerated Backwards Hopping (ABH) - Standing version without walking
6. Accelerated Sideways Hopping (ASH) - Standing version without walking
7. Accelerated Forwards Hopping (AFH) - Crouching version
8. Accelerated Forwards Hopping (AFH) - Standing version with walking
9. Accelerated Forwards Hopping (AFH) - Standing version without walking

Runner: ok

[RolandTheJabberwocky]

It literally looks like the TAS just found out how to turn on noclip.

[JetFuelSE]

Are there any plans on a full game TAS for HL2?

[MrPatters]

Someone's going to have to make the joke...



Who is TAS and why does he speedrun every game?

[freddyseth]

could you give me the link to the coast tas (my discord was hacked, currently can't get it from sourceruns discord)

[CortyCze]

Wouldn't it be better for humanz to take the same route as TAS?

[firewarp]

lmao who did you get the coast task link from?
