Hi, Ive been killing (heh) time by trying to do the killhouse on the training range as fast as I personally can, and Im happy to see that some other squad categories already exist.
The rules I've ran it with has been the following (Altho I have not kept time):
- Time starts when the reset buttons sound effect is heard.
- Time ends when the congratulations banner
- After a successful run, kill yourself (There is a bug that the AI are automatically aggroed to you on subsequent runs during the same life).
Would definitely like to have this category as well!
Do you plan to run any other categories, Aksu?
Here, recorded and uploaded an example run. Obviously alot of optimization to be done.
Alot of the random wall shootings are me trying (and mostly failing) to wallbang enemies in the further rooms.
Edit: Something worth mentioning is that Im running as canadians, since they have access to the 200 round SAW, but obviously runs could be done on any faction (Russians are another good option, as the SVD and AK are more consistent for wallbanging due to increased damage, but you do lose out on ammo capacity.)
Great run! I was actually considering making a whole custom map for this kind of thing, but honestly what's already in the game is totally fit for purpose.
So the wallbangs are totally a valid tactic and all, but I feel it goes against the spirit of a gun course? You wouldn't really be wallbanging if you're clearing rooms in real life. Though this is not real life, so it's debatable.
Considering the nature of speedruns in general, I don't think the intended realism of squad would really be of matter. It would also remove a large amount of potential optimization from the run.
I did do some testing, and an additional rule should probably be that you must kill all the targets in the killhouse. This is needed since you can just get the banner for time end by just running to the end of the course (Which can be done in less than 20 seconds if going backwards on the course, and that definitely does violate the spirit of the run).
I’ll get to adding a killhouse run soon, I suppose, apologies for inactivity, I was in the hospital, I will get this worked out soon!
I am sorry to hear that. Hope you get well soon!
If you'd like any help with moderation, I could assist? I check this site a little more frequently than I should, so it's no bother for me xD
The site recommends having multiple mods for a community, and I am genuinely interested in growing the speedrunning community for this game. I have other runs on my account as well, and hope to increase that count. Though the community is still very small and a single moderator is totally capable of doing the work, so please don't feel like I am pressuring you to make me a mod. Just want to help :)
I've gotten down to 46.59, using C9A2 (CAN) no scope. Wallbangs are consistent and theres only a few you cant.
Life got in the way so havent been able to do squad recently. Good to see that killhouse was added, Ill probably see about running it some point next week.
No worries, Aksuloid! Life seems to be getting in the way of everyone lately.
The competition seems like it's going to be intense.
