Title: Quake E2M1 NM beaten in 6.998 seconds Post by: Makou on 2023-05-09, 19:59 This one slipped by me. :ninja:
About a month ago, player "Chambers" did what many thought would be impossible, and achieved the first sub-7-second run of Quake E2M1 on Nightmare skill, 24 years after Markus and Attila achieved the first sub-8s runs on Easy and Nightmare, respectively, in 1999. Video of the run here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYGIkFlneZc). Some history of Q1 E2M1 speedrunning and an analysis of the run here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sl-s6d6_NU). Title: Re: Quake E2M1 NM beaten in 6.998 seconds Post by: Thomas Mink on 2023-05-09, 22:27 One of my favorite maps, played normally.
I remember watching a commentary with Romero where he commented about how he put all the work into that map and people figured out they could beat it in 10 seconds like a day after the game came out. He's been blitzing levels since wolf3d, so it's ironic he never caught that. Like seeing the old records taken down after so long. I tend to prefer the 100% types, but the 'history' stuff I can watch and enjoy for what it is. :slippy_thumb: Title: Re: Quake E2M1 NM beaten in 6.998 seconds Post by: Phoenix on 2023-05-10, 02:01 Now that's some impressive air control. :slippy_thumb:
