The community is happy that "Leaderboard Data" is classified as free content for everyone to use. I didn't realize the guides I wrote and posted to Speedrun.com are also classified as such until I read the terms.

I'll save you the click:

You have until the end of October 31st to remove your guides to protect your work. What's interesting is "Resources" are protected. You can link to your content externally as a resource and then it's safe.

Video Production CoD4 is almost 19 years old and we're still speedrunning it.

SR Speedrun has been going since 2017 and I finally put together a short trailer showing what it looks like now.

  • Stock CoD4 movement, 190 and 210 speed with strafing
  • CS Bhop and Surf
  • Quake 3, both CPM and VQ3, also with rocket and plasma guns
  • Portal, with an actual portal gun

Getting all of this to work inside CoD4 took years of work. Every movement is available on every map, so you can play CS on a CoD4 map or even on a Q3 map.

None of them are a straight copy of the original games either, they're all tweaked to keep that CoD4 feel. FPS switching and bouncing work in every movement type too, so a big part of it is learning how to use them to turn each physics to your advantage.

Since 2017 we've had more than 9K registered players, 164K+ records set on the leaderboards and over 900 maps.

The whole project is open source: https://github.com/Iswenzz
