  • I assume the technique involved rocket jumping, then in mid-air turning back and shooting a rocket and immediately right click exploding it to make you shoot toward your base?

    I saw someone do this on capture city.

    :?

    If it's a different technique, please do share.

    Anyone ever try this technique on other big maps, like greatwall or succer socks?

    I linked the .avi of my 3.18 seconds...it's the proof that needs to be included. You can view how I made the capture by following the link at the end of my post.

  • I set some rules as well for specific maps :)

    No Strength should be used for any runs.

    On the cb_ctf4_beta2 run that carlyle is on about, this is done without the use of the laser...and i purposely used a slightly longer route as i want people to try and beat the time :)


    I also have a run on greatwall which is about 8.xx seconds, I will upload for you guys.

    I've also started making a few runs on maps like lavaflag (where it is possible to do fast / near perfect runs on a server with players), which i might make a short low-quality movie of.

    While these are great times, I see you used the "Quad" to do so. I guess I should have made it more clear in the rules...or just have taken it out, but all runs for "this" challenge should be done with just pure Nexuiz skill. :) While picking up the quad and blasting yourself 1000mph is fun and extremely easy...it kind of takes away from the skill.

    And for future attempts at a record...Please all challengers Record a demo or upload an AVI of the capture. :)

    All pure with the exception of the no ammunition, start with rockets, and no pickups, which don't affect the gameplay, so yar.

  • Nice, but you have used god mode to do that. It's harder to pick up armor and health first in order to realise the perfect movement.

    1. I used god mode because I'm doing this repeatedly for hours on end, I've finally got the method down.

    2. It doesn't change the movement at all, and we're just trying to reach speeds... If anything it saves both me, and the person watching the demo some time because I'm not running around for 3 minutes picking up shields and health.

    3. As per Carlyle, it's legal.

  • So, is Mirio's 7.x time for Facing invalid? Cuz I have a 8.2s with just the RL (no hook or quad). I'm going to try it again while recording.

    Not questioning the truth of your words :P Just keeping my updates until your video arrives. Maybe I didn't word it very well...

    The current record holder for CaptureCity is kojn. Yes, I understand that the "Proof" isn't publically available, but only because he didn't have time to make an .avi of that single run. I have the demo and have seen the run.

    Nice, but you have used god mode to do that. It's harder to pick up armor and health first in order to realise the perfect movement.


    This has been a toss up since I first began time runs. Technically speaking, as long as the run can be accomplished "WITHOUT" Godmode turned on, then using godmode to prevent having to wait 30 seconds for both mega's to respawn is fine. However, one should always do a couple dry runs before attempting a record. All map runs will be tested to see if the run allows someone without GodMode to make that time. This I figured was just common sense.

    An example of a run that would be "illegal" or not to be officially labeled as the current record holder is a run on CaptureCity that kojn is trying. Basically he'll be able to beat the times in 2.0 seconds or less. Now I'm fairly certain that the way he does it would always frag the person trying, but this has not been tested...yet :wink:

    So, is Mirio's 7.x time for Facing invalid? Cuz I have a 8.2s with just the RL (no hook or quad). I'm going to try it again while recording.


    Yes, the use of the quad (strength) powerup should not be used. These runs are supposed to be skill based, pretty much anyone who picks up the quad can launch themselves to oblivion and beyond! With that said, Mirio's time is good, but I can't accept it as an official run. So feel free to upload your run. I'm going to try to have a sticky of map time runs where we can keep track of the current record holders. Until then, I'm just going to put the Current Record Holders in my main post. :)

  • I am not really keen on these RocketLauncher-based caps tbh, on Facing worlds I even prefer the quad-runs, or basically on any map that forces you to stay a bit low (you know, there's that deadly net on facing worlds), and I really prefer flag runs where you just fly to the enemies base, capture their flag and then fly back to yours, while fragging enemies on your way from base to base, capturing the enemies flag 2 times or so.

    The best thing ever that I still would like to achieve is:
    Go to enemies base, grab their strength and take their flag, fly back again and capture it, fly to enemy base, take flag and capture it again (takes about 25 seconds) then take the strength of your base and capture the flag another 2 times. Besides, kill about 10 or more enemies while flying from base to base. That would rock and make my day :P

    However, what I also respect more than these RocketLauncher caps are usual laser-jump caps, because they require more skill to get that really sick speeds that some players are able to get^^

  • I also spoke about doing Non-Weapon runs on each of the maps as well...basically you can't use any weapons to assist...all down to your speed of movement :)
