What does it look like when you open edit layout, and double click the MemoryGraph? Can you screenshot that?

When a runner wants to submit a run for the category, the rules must be followed. At the end of the day, that's what the rule is, you must follow it.

It's been pointed out that previous runs were retimed with this in mind. There's no disadvantage. There's no reason to discuss this further, I'm going to lock this thread. If you want to discuss if the rules are fair, then open a (non-aggressive, mature) thread regarding that.

I've tried to stay out of this but eh, whatever. You're missing one point Scottie, the POINT of the rule. The point isn't that... oh if you hit 251 just once you gain 5 seconds so we can't allow that. The point is to keep runners, as best as we can, at around the same FPS so there's no gains one way or the other. THAT is the reason the cap is at this specific number, to keep similarity between runners. By capping it lower than the rule you are now being the petty one.

It doesn't matter if it strays just a touch above 250, that ain't the point dude. The same cap between runners matters.

The devs plan to include the ability to run off of a set seed in game; until that is done we are most likely not going to have any seeded category. If we did it would most likely not be in this format either, since this isn't really "seeded" this is more "try the same route over and over till you get a good time", you still can't choose your seed.

Oh I wouldn't recommend this game's borderless windowed though, it's not real bordlerless windowed. It will slow down once you've clicked out of game and has a small blip when clicking back in, as if it was fullscreen....which is why I did not recommend it.

That would correct the issue yes, if you want to use Livesplit directly over the game like you're asking you have a couple choices

1. Simply play in windowed mode
2. Use this application (I use it, and I know it works for this game): http://store.steampowered.com/app/388080/Borderless_Gaming/ There's a free version on their github, but I would recommend supporting the devs because this application is one of my favorites.

Fullscreen/windowed doesn't really apply to an application like this. It's only in one state, you can change the layout of Livesplit by right clicking the application and clicking edit layout. I'm really not sure what you're trying to achieve by making Livesplit fullscreen?

That logic doesn't hold, you don't lose control when that happens your character is still there and will not continue all the way to the end (AKA the credits) until you click sleep.

Regardless the IGT now ends when the last hit is given to the boss, so it does not matter; if the IGT ends there then the RTA should end there.

Is there a discord? Separate from the official discord, a speedrun focused one? If not is there interest in making one?

In any game I have ever ran the ending for time has always been "when you lose control of the character", in this game that would be when you click Sleep. There's no odd happening around this sequence that would call for a change of this....the game has not completed, you can still click one more thing, until the sleep button has been clicked...therefore the timing should 100% be finished upon this.

I do not do survival runs so no idea who would be interested in it, but if it were to stay it would be changed as mentioned....a run up to 30, 60, etc. If people are interested in THAT....mention it here because I can see that staying.

^ That's true, just to add to it the phrase "innocent till proven guilty" doesn't ¤quite¤ work here. It is more like "Innocent till valid suspicions are raised; then suspected till proven innocent." If it was "innocent till proven guilty" then no cheated run would ever be rejected, unless a mod-menu popped up, as it could always be explained away with some kind of BS excuse that would make it not 100% proven.

@PerkiePie 3 things here:

1. I'm not a moderator of this game, just to make that clear. That is why Klooger's decision "outweighs" mine; I asked the other mods before posting this, and I have enough "sway and say" in the game due to my experience to be able to make a post like that

2. His defense this entire time is that it's impossible to speedhack on PS3 singleplayer/spec ops.... http://www.nextgenupdate.com/forums/modern-warfare-2-mods-patches-tutorials/621204-mw2-ps3-mod-menu-spec-ops-no-jailbreak-needed.html Obviously I do not condone the use of the above link (nor will it probably even work at this point) but the point here is that it IS possible to do so. Speedhack is one of the ones included in this list (what he's been accused of using), and they even show it on the same exact map this run is on. Point is, it's possible.

3. On this "bullying" thing; I have never attacked him, I refrain from it and simply defend myself. Others don't do the same and retaliate...key point being retaliate here. I have dealt with Racingmonster for many years and the hostile attitude towards ¤everyone¤ around him gets him the hate that you see. He is not the victim here when it comes to this, he attacks people, then gets upset when they retaliate...it's as simple as that. Whether or not you think retaliation is okay is not the point, he is no victim.

What I would need to see after the suspicions been raised would be: A run starting from the start of the console, a check to show that the game is up to date (it's been years since I've used PS3, I cannot remember the exact thing...but you can verify a game is up to date which verifies that the game's data isn't overwritten), launching the game, and running from here. If it's not been hacked this should not be a problem.

EDIT: As an addendum, moderators tend to be people highly experienced in the game because cheated runs are picked out easier from the eyes of people who have seen everything about this game. Little things have been noticed and pointed out with this run and every one of his attempts to prove he's not cheating after this, to keep suspicions high.

As mentioned above ^ this isn't a speedrun, sorry for the late response but life happens. (Getting laid off and being stressed about finding a new job really eats up your time)

All in all, we will probably be removing this....it's simply not a speedrun, this isn't the site for it. Things like highest round in CoD zombies aren't included here because it's not the site for it even if there's competition or interest.

@Racingmonster

There is nothing to resolve here; with your outstanding past of attacking people if things don't go your way we absolutely don't want you in control of anything on our board. For your specific type of run that was accused as being cheated, Klooger is ¤very¤ much more experienced in these than I, and I won't be going against it.

With that said, I still do understand how strafing works and seeing the comparison video which is "undeniable proof" that you weren't cheating...makes me think you were. The amount of time you spend on the ground (which is slower....that's the whole point of strafe jumping...) is much more than the other, yet you go faster. It simply ¤does not¤ look legitimate, and judging things like this is the point of moderators. There will almost never be 100% undeniable proof of cheated runs, unless a mod-menu pops up, or ¤very obvious¤ speed hacks are used, or something like this...this is the point of judgement coming down to moderators.

And on the last note...our decision was made, weeks and weeks went by that we tried to explain why we fully believe it's cheated, why all your "proof" does absolutely nothing to help your case, yet you can't move past it. That is why "nothing is resolved" because you absolutely refuse to drop this; your attitude and your maturity give you no right in holding any moderator status on any game and if it was my choice alone, you wouldn't be moderating any CoD game at all.

This is the only post I will make about this, just to make my stance clear...and through years of arguing with you I have come to realize that you will never budge on your stance no matter what, so there is absolutely no purpose in arguing with you any longer.

I fixed the issue with the game/real time not showing up, didn't realize this was broken thanks for bringing it up.

I do not want to add a veteran category for speedruns for a few reasons

1. It completely defeats the purpose of a speedrun, the point is to go fast, if you do it on veteran you are making it harder for ¤no¤ reason..making the run slower for no visual difference.
2. Honestly veteran is going to be so much more luck based...you ¤can¤ do the same strategies, but would have to be much luckier
3. Variety is not needed....due to all the IL's from campaign and spec ops, there is a lot of variety already

The only thing like that I would consider being good to add would be points...which would mean veteran would be required since there's a 20k point boost in doing veteran difficulty. This would actually make sense, due to the fact that's how the leaderboard in MW3 is actually set up.

There were only two games I cared about, MW2 and MW3, not sure what the point of removing moderators was but these two games I still play and watch, so would still like to be mod on these two...the others I don't care about.
