The 007 Classic TAS continues! Next up is the Airfield mission.
This mission is mostly straightforward once you know about sprint cancelling and the hover glitch. In short, sprint cancelling is a movement trick that lets you sprint for longer than you're supposed to, and hovering lets you stay in the air for longer than you should when you're going down a slope. Aside from that, most of the level is about moving from point A to point B quickly. It's a non-stop sprint and there's nothing the enemies can do about it.
The biggest single time save in this level, compared to the previous 007 Classic TAS, is the out of bounds glitch at the start of the mission. I crawl into the vent, then stand up while moving forward in a very precise spot. Then, Bond gets his head stuck inside the vent and the game pushes him through the floor because of it. From there, I can land in the room below the vent and continue the mission normally. This skips the part where you have to crawl through all the vents and exit in the bathroom, which saves about 20 seconds.
The route I took in this mission is basically the same as the previous 007 Classic TAS, so the rest of the time save comes from better movement and the use of the hover glitch in the atrium, which saves about 5 seconds or so.
What's interesting about this TAS is that I actually get the same in-game time as the Time Trial TAS I did 3 years ago, which plays on 007 difficulty (not 007 Classic). The route is exactly the same between those two TASes. I was expecting to save a little more time over that old TAS, but I guess it just didn't work out that way. This TAS doesn't reload checkpoints to save small amounts of in-game time, but it makes up for that with a much faster vent clip at the start of the mission. I guess the differences balance out, and this TAS didn't save enough time beyond that to get 7:35. I think it makes sense mainly because most of this level is pretty trivial, and nothing with the speedrun has changed between then and now. There is also a lot of waiting in this run, so that means there is less opportunity for time save than it seems.
