The thing I find difficult about getting a platinum medal is I usually have been playing for a while and had plenty of near perfect runs. I feel a great run happening and in the moment I get all jittery and anxious. It's just a game though, right? In my mind it becomes olympic gold. Then I screw up, scream and start over.Platinum on KOTH isn't that hard really, unfair bombardment is worse IMO.

Way harder!Originally Posted by Ajuvix
Had 3 extreme platinums before this!
One hint for it tho, speed over the barrels!!!

The barrel section was much easier before we released the game... but in the final physics tweaking the barrels got slightly more fragile... and naturally the platinum time limit didn't get tweaked to reflect the much lower speed you have to run to consistently pass that sectionOriginally Posted by Jonofthejungle
In the final tweaking most tracks were tuned to be slightly easier, but Unfair Bombardment wasn't changed that much (so because of the physics tuning it actually got a bit harder). This might have been caused by the fact that it was one of the few tracks our UI coder was really good at, and off course me and Jorma had to beat him... so our record times on that track were especially fine tuned compared to many other hard tracks... basically same reason why Skyway has a hard to beat platinum (it was a battle of me vs Sipe in that track).
All the platinums are around 1.5 - 2.5 seconds slower than the best of us developers could manage in the track.
i did it first time .... honest i did
testing the youtube embedding, and showing off my koth run from yesterday, its not prefect, but im happy with it nontheless. (i know i can do the first hill and the last beam faster, but overall its my fastest so far.)
That's a super impressive run, eflixxx. Nothing to be ashamed about there. I especially liked the smooth flow from the first steep ramp to the boxes...
Is the Youtube embedding new?
54 secs .... tut tut... shamefull
sorry about thatOriginally Posted by raistlin2076
