Keep in mind that you can always change weapons/items using the pause menu.
It's extremely useful in a lot of situations and can help you a lot.
I rarely use it in these new recordings so it doesn't interrupt with the gameplay too often.
That's why I want to remind you here for anyone who uses these as guides.
There is a control option called "Legacy"(similiar to N64 version default controls) in the "Advanced Control" section of the settings menu.
Using it allows you to strafe run noticeably faster.
I don't like that control style. So I don't use it at all on these new recordings. Everything is completely doable without it.
But if you do use it and also do what I do, you should be able to save a lot of seconds compared to my times.
Reason why I let cutscenes play little bit at the beginning of some missions is because a lot of things are active in the levels during cutscenes(enemies walk, elevators move etc.).
So letting cutscenes play to a certain point can have an advantage to you.
Reason why there's no "New Cheat Available!" text at the end of every level is because I have re-recorded that level. Usually because I wasn't happy with my own play.
