I'm not sure. I don't remember this exact part. I would recommend trying different things and see what happens.

You are doing great!

Rusty

Are you making manual saves or just quick saves ?

Satine: Sometimes I use quick save and sometimes I use "quit" save game.

The Vortigaunt has mounted a machine gun on my air boat!! Hooray! Just wait until I see that chopper. nu2gaming

Good morning; Okay, how in the h*** do you take out the chopper near the end of chapter 4? I've shot the heck out of him, he's on fire, parts blowing off but he gets right over me and I can't fire at him and he bombs me to death. nu2gaming

EDIT: Hey! I found a fantastic site with lots of hints and "secrets" about Half-Life 2. It's fantastic!!: http://www.neoseeker.com/resourcelink.html?rlid=92135&rid=85563

You guys are so sharp you probably already know this, but I just stumbled on it and I think it's great. Check out the fantastic way to finish off the hunter-chopper in this part.

Do you ever go into the main menu/save menu and make a save from there? That is what a real or manual save is. They don't disappear. Quick saves use the same save slot over and over again which is why they keep disappearing on you. It sounds to me that is all you are using. Quick saves are great to have but are NOT meant to be a replacement for real saves.

My Quick Saves never used the same save slot. I had alot of them to choose from when loading. Every Quick Save I made was there.

Rusty

You're right Satine, I have been using "quick save" a lot, only doing a hard save when I was getting out of the game. I know better now. I don't think I'll be using quick save any more. nu2gaming

Boy, could I use some help. I'm at the windmill roadblock (a big double tanker truck blocking the road) and I can not find any way to get past it. There are two huge boulders on the left but the space between them doesn't seem to be big enough for me to drive thru. There is no way on the right (I wound up in the water). How do I get past here? nu2gaming

EDIT: Got it. It was the mossy hill on the right. I just wasn't hitting it right. nu2gaming

HELP!!! I'm with the Vortigaunt harvester and he keeps telling me to throw towards something. I can't understand what he is saying and I've thrown Pheremone Glands all over the place. Someone please tell me what I'm supposed to do. nu2gaming

I have no idea where you are in the game. There are alot of Vortigaunts in the game. Just try different things and see what happens. Also, please see what the walkthroughs say to do in this part.

Rusty

Rusty; I'm in the first Vortigaunt camp where I'm being instructed in the use of pheremones. The Vortigaunt leads me out of the main camp area and tells me to throw the pheremone at something. I can't understand what he is saying. It sounds like "throw it far, at the light". But I don't know. Can anyone tell me what he is saying?

EDIT: I finally turned the sound real high and was able to hear what he was saying. I am now entering Nova Prospekt. nu2gaming

Is the first Half-Life game availabe for XBOX or for the PC only?

Hi gamecheater
The first Half-Life was released for the PC and PS2 only.

Hi nu2gaming

I knew you would figure it out eventually!
Rusty

I need some suggestions. I'm right at the beginning of "Follow Freeman", trying to take out the sniper from behind the truck. When I try throwing grenades they don't go anywhere near the window with the sniper and I always get killed. What am I doing wrong? Why aren't my grenades going very far? nu2gaming

If I remember correctly , you have to aim using your mouse and then let the granade go by clicking your left mouse button. The grenade should fall where you had aimed the crosshairs at.
