Description

Based off the principle of my first map, this one requires mouse accuracy quick portalling and speedy thinking. SPECTATE THE MAP BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CREATE YOUR PATHS THROUGH THE LEVEL AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE YOU MUST SPECTATE OR NOCLIP THROUGH THE MAP, AS IT REQUIRES NEAR CONSTANT MOTION AND PREMADE DECISIONS This map has a Timer for speedrun purposes. Once you reach the end a digital timer is displayed with the amount of time it took you to complete the level once you stepped off of the platform where you spawned Since people did not like teleportation from my last map I removed it and just made every pit or floor a trigger_hurt. All pits except for required parts kill players. So Don't mess up on an important part! Thanks for your constructive criticism on my last map and I hope you all try this one out as well P.S. THE LARGE FILE SIZE IS DUE TO THE TREMENDOUS SIZE OF THE LEVEL. Since most of the level is acrobatics it requires large rooms and ever larger jumps.

Its not meant as a puzzle, more as a quick thinking reflex practice... Please view the speedrun I posted for information on how to complete parts.

Once again this is a speedrun map

Hey I enjoyed that map
What's the use of the cube in the end? I sent it to meet glados in my place, but apart from that i see no use for it. Nice work!

its meant as a step if you want to use it as one. Otherwise I was going to implement a glass breaking when you throught he cube at the glass but I'll save that for part 3 lol.

10 mins is fantastic for first time. my best time so far is 2 minutes and 40 seconds. Thats only because I made the map though so i know some little tricks. Be sure to view my video for my speedrun attempt.

If any of you want to take a stab im sure you guys can beat my time easily.

Have fun guys

If you want to speedrun through shoddy enviroments, this map's for you. It isn't fullbright, but may very well be: for lengthy and apparently varied in enviroments as it is, it rarely looks like a Portal level and not some Quake clone. But it does get right what a race is about, however filling the path with full stops if you fail on the thirty or so flings to be performed - die or get stuck on every mistake.

The attitude regarding the acrobatics isn't truly the vicious kind of exxtreme, but still too hard for anyone nonetheless. Could have used a bunch portal placers and playtesting, just to ensure that catapult and fling distances were always covered and not a matter of luck - or generally more time in Hammer.

Not true, you just haven't optimized the lightmaps.

I immedeatly quit the map as soon as I heard these nasty background noise. I assume that's supposed to be music, but I am not entirely sure.

Edit:
I also assume the noise is copyrighted somehow. Not that I care about copyright infringements, but the admins of this site probably are.

I feel just like you. I tested my new smartphone app and it told me this is a song by fatboy slim and it's copyrighted by SME (sony music entertainment). YouTube already blocked his "walkthrough" video for a few countries (like Germany) due to this.

I appreciate that you made it very clear in the description that this is an exercise for the fast-twitch kiddies. That way, I could spend just a few minutes enjoying the playthrough. I don't rate maps I don't finish, and I didn't even download this.
