when i look at all the top runs, they have the same three maps in order. Is it a time thing because its faster or is there some settings or something?

@PhantomGannon007 explains about this in his guide here: https://www.speedrun.com/getaway_shootout/guide/f26ew

The reason why these are the starting maps is because office is unavoidably the longest map of the four in the game so you want to avoid it as much as you can in a full-game run (check the IL for it to see how long it takes). The only way to not load office in a 3-map run is to start on the market as it is right after office in the map cycle and it ends on bus. In 4-map it doesn’t matter which map you start on because you already need to play each map once. For 5-map you will have office no matter what but you don’t want 2 offices in your run, in order to reduce your offices from 2 to 1 you need to start on the Train. I hope this helps and answers your questions let me know if you’re still confused.

i am TWO years late, but yes, starting on market/town on the [old version of the game](https://nirogs.github.io/GetawayShootout) is WAY quicker than any other 3-map order.

# HEY, NEW UPDATE!

So New Eich (finally) added a "View Ghost" feature, so that you speedrunners can now peacefully record your speedruns without having to record AND catch up to your impossibly fast ghosts. It is still a work in progress, as he states [here](https://www.neweichgames.com/news/3#:~:t
