 ==== Mainframe Strat ====
 The glass that is so consistent it made Aztec RTA friendly. Although not as fast as the best strats, it's really good for getting to the high 80 point range. The key to getting fast mainframe runs is getting a good animation on the guard that you shoot in the mainframe, as the time you have to wait at the glass depends on it.
 Consistency rating: Very Good

@@ Line 86: / Line 86: @@
 ==== Crouch Glass ====
 Very viable for UWR, but relies heavily on guard animations which makes it terrible to play for. There are several variations of it and Henrik needs to write this section. Crouch glass is the main strat on the XBLA version of Goldeneye which some might find interesting. It's possible we can learn some from the way they do it. There is also a trick where if you pause buffer the moment the guard finishes running, the guard will run further which might help with consistency.
 Consistency rating: LOWish?, more info is required.

 An important factor is that the guards needs to be close to each other in order to act as obstacles. (If one guard reaches the glass early, he might just continue running before the second guard even gets there). The mainframe usually handles this for us though, by delaying the nearest guard. It's also worth noting that the nearest guard will not spend more than 10 seconds trying to reaching the glass (usually not the far guard either), so he should *always* continue running. The time frame during which the door can open is therefore pretty small.

	This level has the same objectives across all difficulties. The player must reprogram the shuttle guidance (Objective A), and then launch the shuttle (Objective B). Launching the shuttle begins a 30 second countdown, after which the level ends. The general speedrunning strategy is to use guard AI to open a locked door in order to complete Objective A. This bypasses Jaws, and avoids having to close and re-open the shuttle exhaust. The first half of a run will generate [[Noise]] to alert guards. Many strategies make use of [[Pause#Quick Pause\|quick pausing]].		This level has the same objectives across all difficulties.
