Half-Life 2: Done Quick - Re-Rendered

Half-Life 2: Done Quick - Re-Rendered

Celebrating 15 years of this important milestone in Source speedrunning history!

Half-Life 2: Done Quick was first published on this day, 15 years ago, on March 8th, 2006. It was the first Source segmented run of its kind, performed by the HL2DQ Team after 2 years of hard work. While the run's legitimacy was called into question on December 1st, 2014, its legacy lives on in the runs it inspired, and the ultimate creation of SourceRuns itself!

To celebrate its 15-year anniversary, we, 2838, tmob and the_kovic, honor it by re-rendering and re-editing the run in 1080p 60FPS. Due to various visual discrepancies regarding demo jitter in earlier Half-Life 2 builds, our best efforts were put forth to make the run look as clean and smooth as possible.

This project began on December 14th, 2020 and was completed on March 4th, 2021!

NOTE:
This run has been recognized as a cheated run, due to the use of host_timescale by bandit5k, also referenced as kitsune. Read more about this here: https://forums.sourceruns.org/t/hl2dq-verified-cheating/2526
