Requesting help on Highway 17

[cco]

Hey guys, I'm at the Combine controlled bridge, where there are the forcefields. After crossing the bridge, and unplugging the controller. The barrier is still up, what did I do wrong? Is there a second controller?

[STEELCITY32]

There is a button in the room with the plug. The plug just turns off the forcefield in that room. If a gunship shows up, you did it right.

[gorpie]

If you really want to, you can stack stuff up and jump over the barrier. You apparently don't really need the buggy the rest of the way.

I don't when I speed run.

[gorpie]

I don't when I speed run.

Well, considering that I've played two whole times, and will never speed run, I'll probably take the buggy each time... It's better than waiting for the stupid suit battery to recharge all the time.

That's why I qualified the suggestion--I didn't know for sure if he could leave it.

[Otto-Grainer]

Certainly not for a first-time play, of course. That would ruin a huge part of the experience. On the topic though, I don't think 'real' speed-runs require mere sprinting, but a much more game-exploited method roughly called 'fly-jumping' or 'object-riding'. :p

[gorpie]

I wasn't talking about speed running... If I left the buggy behind at the bride, I sure as heck would not want to *walk* the rest of the way. And since you need the suit battery to run, my reference to letting it recharge. :)

[cco]

well, best pray that I didn't overwrite that save file of the first time that I crossed the bridge.

[gorpie]

Oh. Save often. I mean make your own saves. Don't rely on Autosave or Quicksave. If this isn't "the time" you regret it, there will (probably) come a time when you do...

[cco]

Thanks, made it across, and took out the Gunship with my first 2 shots!

Two shots??? What do you have it set on, "Sooper Eazy"? :confused: :p

Do you mean 3?

[seseorang]

3 sounds right. I think it needs more for higher skill settings. I hate the one where there are two of them and little cover
Upon entering Nova Prospekt and breaking into the prison

You need 3 RPG rockets on Easy, 5 on Normal, and I think 7 on Hard.

Oh, I accidentally found great cover for that section last time... If you can get back to where you will enter the prison after the second gunship crashes there's a dumpster next to the building--and maybe an ammo crate. Staying next to the dumpster on the far side of the stairs/pathway to it was wondrous.

[cco]

Well 3 I guess, but I swear that only two hit the rotors. They only count if they hit the rotors right?

I broke into Nova Prospeckt by the way, I'm liking the way my Antlion minions work.

[STEELCITY32]

No it does not matter where you hit the gunships.

Like STEELCITY said, it doesn't matter where you hit the gunship. (Heck, then you should only need one hit on the rotors, shouldn't you? Don't know, never been in a heli.)

And I really liked the antlions. I wanted to pet them. :)

I loved that part. took hours to complete it. and then on the second playthru i realized you can complete it without taking out both copters. but's its more fun that way.

But isn't it the second one that crashes into the building to make your entry?

Hmm. It might be interesting to check out whether you actually need to kill either of them. In god mode or something. Just to see.


(Hope I didn't blow anything by not using spoiler tags this time!)
