Big white laser coming from sky keeps killing me, help

[Ukraineboy]

Ok,

so Im passed the part where I save Barney (who might I add looks very feminine) and 3 cannon fodder, err I mean resistance guys meet up, we get "spotted" by some camera thing. I urn outside and this stupid white laser thing keeps killing me etc. Now I read the walkthrough, and this jackass sure loves to help people. Whoever wrote this walkthrough I want to personally spit on them, thanks for nothing.

So Im running trying to find a way but guess what, the electric wall fence thing blocks me off from the dumb Nexus or whatever it's called. So the stupid tutorial says this:

"How do I get around this fence?
-Grav gun. Hello?

What sort of jackass would make a walkthrough like this. Maybe Im not as smart as this jerkwad.

How the hell do I use the grav gun to open the fence?

Sorry for the semi-rant. This walkthrough really pissed me off. they seem to assume that everyone is a professionnal gamer and wil lget everything

You've gotta run down to the end of the street and open a door to go inside a building there, if I remember correctly.

 

[Ames]

Don't criticize people trying to help you.

Use the gravity gun to pull the plug from the socket...?

 

[Murray_H]

You have to pull a plug out at least twice before this level, so perhaps it's rightfully assuming you know how to do it.

And the "big laser" shows you where it will hit if you look at the ground after you hear it being fired.

 

[FireCrack]

i never pulled any plugs here.. you go through a door at the end.

On a second reading, I think he is ahead of himself in the guide (I don't know which he is referring to so I can't check). On this bit, if he means he has just come down some steps, through a corridor with a turret and two mines and then is outside, then he has to go down to the end of the street (past the dumpster on its side) and through a door to a small building.

However, from what he says from the guide, he is just about to enter the large building, from which the "big laser" is firing. You need to use the gravity gun/shoot out the plug/blow out the plug to deactivate the forcefield and enter the building.

 

[Computer5k]

You pull a plug right before you go into the building, you go down the street right away in that part though

okay but i cant find this door...hmmm Ill keep looking

 

[Teta_Bonita]

lol I just played this part! (lucky you) Anyway, here's what you do:
Go as far as you can go.... its at the end of the street thingy your on at the begining. After you get through, you exit out into the middle of the courtyard and pass through a little stone building thingy untill you get to a door on the other side. Exit that, fight your way amongs the pillars and get to the small electric fence thingy wich you can disable with the gravity gun.
Hope that helps!

If you don't like one walkthrough, use another. Try www.gamefaqs.com they should have a couple at least.

Anyway, when you exit the building after meeting the 'cannon fodder' you will see the Combine building in front of you, with an impassable wall between you and it.

Turn right and navigate the blasted streets, watch out that you don't get trapped in a crater. You can use the big blue overturned dumpster for cover. The white beam weapon can't target you if it can't see you. It's 'eye', as it were, is on top of the Combine building.

After you pass the damaged street you'll see a door leading into a building between you and the Combine building. Go through the door. The rest should be easy.

Why oh why would you use a walkthrough on a game like Half-Life 2??

 

[Skulleye]

Maybe because he is stuck in the game. It's not that straight forward as you'd think.

I have no idea what you were supposed to do when you get to the part on Highway 17 where a fence is blocking the way. What I did was improvise a ramp, and jump over the fence. But I don't think that is the intended way to do it. And if it is, it's not that weird that someone might be stuck. I almost gave that part up before I finally made the jump.

 

[Jack Thomas]

I just avoided the laser and kept running like hell. The laser itself is quit easy to avoid, even on hard difficulty. Dont try to keep your squad alive cause you will get more chaps at one of the buildings. Those miserable people only try to kill themselves. And Barney wont die so easily so he will be able to take some of the lasers damage. Atleast more then the resistance fighters, as long as you dont be too long there at the open. Otherwise he might die.

A fence?
Do you mean a forcefield "fence" or the part where you have to fight the combine who come in the dropship.

With the forcefield fence all you do is remove both "chocks" from beneath the rear wheels of the combine APC, it rolls backwards and pulls the cable out, turning the forcefield off.

Or if your where you have to navigate past the fuel tanker and there is a wooden fence in front of you, You go into the building and there are three places on the table to the left of the front door, that requires batteries, one battery is there already, one is under the bath outside and one in the front engine bay of the blue car parked underneath the tower.
Grav gun the batteries into their spaces on the counter, flip the switch and the fence opens and on you can go!

 

[FoB_Ed]

what's the point in playing HL2 if you just follow a guide that tells you exactly where to ****ing go?

That is the part I was talking about yes. Thanks for the info. It's cool though, how you can find your own solutions to the challenges the game throws at you

Please don't be so downright rude...

 

[Ukraineboy]

I just shot the apc until it fell.

Some people find it hard to follow in spots, or prefer to see it all

That door was not very easy to spot, especially considering there are a lot of doors in HL2 that do not open. There should have been a clue for you to notice the door, perhaps combine coming out of it, or at least barney saying something useful.
