A speedrunner just beat Need for Speed: Most Wanted's world record by 90 minutes - by using Half-Life's Gordon Freeman instead of a car

Gordon Freeman.

If you've just looked at the headline and are now thinking, "huh?", you're not alone. A modder managed to put Half-Life 2 and Half-Life Source's movement physics into the racing game Need For Speed: Most Wanted, and the outcome is like nothing you could anticipate.

I was expecting the cars would just move a bit faster or be able to take advantage of the terrain or some sort of movement tech. Instead what you'll see is that Most Wanted basically plays as though Gordon Freeman is literally running alongside the cars himself, crowbar in hand and rearview mirror fully on display.
