help with highway 17 using rocket gun

[lloyd]

im very fraustrated here....im on the part where im driving on a highway and a bunch of vehicles block u so u cant go father.....now theres something that flies and it keeps shooting at me....now i go and get the rocket gun....i shoot near it....now the rockets try to hit it but it keeps shotting them and they explode elsewhere....i tried shooting it close...sometimes it hits it....but it seems to me you have to keep giving it direct hits....and i run out of rockets fast and theres not a lot of health things.....i tried shooting it with the buggy but it wont work....it looks like the rockets are trying to hit it but even if i shoot the rockets when its not shooting it finds the rockets and keeps on shotting it causing the rocket to explode somewhere else other then the target....now im supposed to use the rockets on that thing right?.....now i looked at video of it and when he shot it it found the thing and hit it....that was when i encountered it the 1st time....

You have to steer the rockets around the back or side of it using the laser.

Yeah , you need to really give those rockets some evasive manouvering with the laser sight.

Hey...words mean EVERYTHING. Its how we communicate and go about our lives. They mean things all the time. We can't help it you can take the 15 seconds to listen, or if your too stupid to. If you wanna complete the game then wake up. I have no idea how you'll ever learn how to use the bug baits! At least you killed it, your learning...can only get better.

I was actually pretty surprised the bothered to tell how it works and how, specifically, to shoot down the gunship. It's not something you see every day there.

But it's true, there have also been people without any idea of how to use the bugbait or gravgun either. This is definitely why so many people are confused over the plot.

All time best WTF.

The only possible way I can think of how that was related to anything, is that its meant to be about not listening.

The irrelivance metre just blew up.
