You really ought to portal and drop from the floor to the ceiling, shoot the portal from the ceiling to the floor and fling up to the ending, idk why you do dis :p
Iverb used to have an ingame timer that worked for coop, you'd have to find him and ask him though.
Firstly, this
Secondly, to accomplish the save load glitch from the segmented run, you need to be perfectly in between the two portals. Then you have to be clipped outside, where I believe you can hop around some wall out of bounds to get to the other side, then somehow you clip back in. the tricky part would probably be getting right in the middle of those 2 portals.
If you really want to play the game for longer, try third person.
Actually you don't have to do this strat. Go to 11 minutes in, you'll see, it's pretty great
And yet after having said that, here's the thing - I would like to see the map command be a rule ONLY if people indicate that they use this in order to correct an otherwise soft-lock. It doesn't affect me or Znernicus because a soft-lock and needing to restart_level would mean a time loss too big to continue a run on.
No, you should not be able to type in map sp_a4_finale4 and say you beat the game. That's ridiculous. restart_level on the other hand is something that people should discuss. Should. It probably won't happen but if you want to put in the effort usually there's some reciprocity.
This almost isn't worth typing anything over. Unnatural was a word used to say, in short, don't be a dick and use a religious analysis of the commands within the source engine in order to undermine competition in the game. It's not a guilty or not guilty thing. It's an I-don't-want-to-compete-with-someone-like-you type of thing.
