well i went down into the "basement", saw him, then went back outside and ran around for a while, so i only heard his voice in the background.

OK i'm stuck again:



it's where you've just "disabled" the generator, and Alex has gone up onto the roof to "scout", and she gets shot at, and she tells you to run, so i ran... a few minutes later i end up here.  

in the first picture, where the crosshair is, that's where i need to go... i think.

No it isn't.  Um... lemme think.

Just prior to this, you enter the room with boxes & a tunnel full of manhacks to the left, yeah?  Well, when you enter that bit, you need to head across to the opposite broken stair, and hop down.  Should find a door there or therabouts.

Basically, head down till you find an open doorway.  IIRC there's a set of crates on a ledge underneath the level you find the doorway at (the crates are at the bottom of that brown pipe, you need to shimmy on over a pipe to get to them; I never did that cos it looked a pain in the arse).  If the staircase above is broken, it means you're not supposed to get up

EDIT; oh, and you may want to put on subtitles... for me, I encountered the nefarious stuttering bug (including 2 outright crashes seconds before the ending sequence); also, I think the subtitles are sometimes shown when the corresponding speech is too faint to hear; a bit annoying but also useful if you can't be arsed hanging around.

im still confused, and i still can't find anywhere to go ;(

[aldo_14]

Find a staircase - which is broken - on the walkway you're on when you first move into that room; it is leading down (IIRC onto another set of broken stairs).  Move some cardboard boxes from the previous room and use them to break your fall.

naaa that didn't work.  after trying everything possible, i figured it out.  in the second picture, right behind me there's a door, that's locked.  next to it is another room, with a window with a wire mesh in front of it, and there was one of those radioactive turkey things in it, which i shot earlier.  a few supply crates.  i figured out i can use the gravity gun through the window, to remove a bar that was across the door :-/

[aldo_14]

Oh, there..........

OK i'm stuck again, this'll probably be the last time, because i'm pretty sure i'm right at the end of the game.

it's where you have to go up that citadel thing after the doctor, who's trying to escape... the whole time alyx is yelling at you "there's combine" and "hurry Gordon, we don't have much time".  so i rush up to the top, and i'm on a platform, and ahead of me is the "portal" i guess... and Alyx screams "the portal's opening!!!"... and i see the sphere thing that breen's in coming up, and then two gunships arrive, and i shoot them down by shooting those energy balls at them... but how do i actually win the game?  i've tried shooting balls at the sphere that's moving up, and i hear alyx cry "YESS!!!" and breen says "Gordon, you don't know what you're doing!" but it's not helping, i still can't do it.

so someone help me out

[vyper]

Spoiler:

You gotta blow out the panels that are rotating around the sphere. Then erm... well, I'd say duck if it did any good

[aldo_14]

NB: you need to move to the left / right side of the platform you're on and fire into the side of it.  You'll see this sort of group of rotating hoop; after you first hit that, a bunch of panels will pop up.  Destroy the (rotating) panels by hitting them as well, and fire in a final shot into it to finish the game

beautiful. thanks

i don't like the ending.  i mean, after all that, and he didn't even get to bone alyx... what a joke.  the poor guy goes through it all, just so the creepy guy that pronounces words funny, can tell him a bunch of bull (i don't even remember what it was about)...  damn, what a depressing ending.

freeman and alyx should've lived happily ever after.  either that or he should've married that scientist woman who they thought had been working with breen, but who was on their side all along.

*shakes head*
