Changes

Since the early days of Goldeneye Speedrunning, [[Silo]] Secret Agent was figured to be a level which would be very difficult to attain a good World Record on, due to the nature of the level.  The level is very tight, requires many [[door warp|door warps]] and there are many guards who are in your way.  These guards require 1 head shot, 2 body shots or 4 limbshots to kill, thus it is very difficult to cleanly make your way through the stage as fast as possible, which of course is typically the objective in speedrunning.

The World Record on Silo Secret Agent made it's way down from the mid 1:20s in Goldeneye's primordial days, to 1:16 which was achieved by [[Wouter Jansen]] in 2003.  He then improved this World Record to 1:15 in early 2004 to which [[Bryan Bosshardt]] demolished into a hot 1:12 during his [http://www.geocities.com/silentthunder024/TET/GE4th.html Bosshardtian Rampage] from March 2004 to May 2004.  This record, among with other [[Untied World Records]] he achieved during this destruction of [[Goldeneye 007]] would remain untied for over two years; the Silo records in particular lasting around 22 months before an aspiring [[Ryan White]] came along in late 2005.  Ryan, a young aspiring speedrunner learned that Silo was a very fun level and achieved the first World Record on this stage in almost 2 years with [[Silo]] [[00 Agent]] 1:32.  He later lowered this to an untied 1:31, while tying the [[Agent]] record of 1:05, but could never achieve the [[Secret Agent]] record of 1:12.  He instead settled for 1:14, with the idea of an unclaimed 300 point stage eternally bothering him.

[[Ryan White]] was the first person to achieve this World Record. It took him over 150 hours and many different strategy ideas, along with constant mental preparation. He played on and off for this record for 10 months until he finally achieved it on February 4, 2007.

On February 4, 2007 [[Ryan White]] shocked the entire elite community by [http://perfectdarkelite.yuku.com/sreply/26015/t/Post-New-WR-s-here.html posting] that he had achieved [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc70nloVNys Silo Secret Agent 1:10]
