L4D2 Ville Speed Run Records

[Zork Nemesis]

While there aren't any rules (it's just for fun, not competition) all records listed are playing standard games on normal difficulty. No other settings are comparable, though if we want to have a "mutations" division, that'd be fine, obviously.

There's no harm in that, I think speed running goes a lot easier if you play Chainsaw Massacre or Gib Fest.

Or Nemesis (you vs a single charger).

so how does one go about getting in on the speed run?

I've never played nemesis.... sounds awesome

It's not, it's rather boring as the charger doesn't spawn immedietly (often covering half the map before it shows), and is not invincible (unlike Nemesis in RE3, which this mutation is based off of), and there's nothing else to deal with. Tanks and Witches do spawn, but with 1 HP so that your 9mm one shots them. However, it's instant game over if the charger pins you.

Nothing special - just have to play L4D2 multiplayer, and convince the team that you should do speed runs

You express an interest and then IM one of the regulars that love speed running. Ali, Mateo, and I spring to mind

I know, I expressed a dislike for speed running, as part of the fun of the game is exploring the site routes and finding cool crap, but I wouldn't mind a go at one of these. A real go, not my Last Man on Earth stuff, I can do those whenever. Hell, play the Nemesis mutation and you can go with no hinderances whatsoever as long as you can avoid a charger.

Thanks to Meta, Alizee, & Checkm8. Thanks for letting me participate tonight guys.
Sorry I held ya'll up on the get go. Windstream and living in the sticks; doesn't help much.

I wouldn't worry, the fun is in the process, not the records really. Sorry I missed playing with you last night mlite. I'm always up for a speed run if I am free, so hit me up whenever!
