does using the alt. fire of the shotgun/smg/pulse rifle disqualify the one free bullet achievement?
 
Probably. Shotgun I'd be certain about.

If they're really anal, one shotgun blast would disqualify you too.
 
I don't know how about ar2 pulse orb and smg grenade...
But this achv is quite easy ;)
One bullet you use when you get pistol and shotgun to destroy lock on doors.
 
I abstained from using the smg grenade launcher and the energy orb, just to be on the safe side so I'm not sure. The shotgun will definitely nullify the achievement.
 
I've done that acheievment. The only things you can use are the crowbar, gravity gun, grenades (not smg) and RPG. Nothing else, the only bullet you can use is on that padlock in lowlife - so don't miss!
 
Phew without ar2 pulse orb in hospital is getting much harder ^^
 
I've done this before, and yeah, that one bullet is supposed to be used on the lock in the underground garage. So don't miss.

Advice? Keep tabs on useful props. You don't know desperation until you got a crowbar out against the zombie elevator horde cuz you already used the barrels, flares, and canisters, and you can't find a damn cinderblock. Combine are tough as well, because the arenas you fight them in seem to lack physprops. That means you'll be running into enemy lines every time you fire that radiator, or get really good at returning grenades.

Suggestion? Make good friends with the RPG. Especially during the civilian escort mission. With that crate of rockets, its a smart idea to fire a rocket into a crowd and crowbar the survivors. You'll lose a civilian or two, but you can get that achievement later anyway.
 
Have you lot done it on 360, just imagined it or can we actually get achievements now because it doesnt look like it...even if there was an update this morning...
 
this is the only achievement I need in EP.1 and I am determined to beat it,I just don't want to alt. fire and be disqualified,especially if I go through the entire game using the GG and crowbar
 
i was saying, for the achievements have they got episode 1 on the 360 or have they pretended they have got them, just to see if it is possible or they were bored... Or were the achievements were out which we know they are not until next week,
 
I didn't use Alt-Fires for any of the guns. I think its against the "spirit" of the achievement, since technically the crowbar, grenades, and RPG are vital for progress through the game, while everything else isn't. So no, don't use any Alt-Fires

and Nick, though I'm having trouble understanding you, I believe I can answer your question. No, they didn't update the PC versions of HL and Ep1 to include neat achievements, and I doubt they will.

Would it be difficult to do so? :/

I was under the impression that part of the attractiveness of Steam was that Valve could go back and do all these updates and shiz.

VALVe said thay will implement them, they didn't say when.

Also, it's harder than simply tacking something on, as the achievements are wired into the next version of Source... or something.
 
i tired this and got real pissed so i stopped also how would take down the gun ship? throw things at it?
 
I found this achievment quite fun really. As has already been stated the only bullet you get is to shoot at the padlock, but once you get RPGs and whatnot it really is straight forward.
 
Gunship-how much to take down:
Easy-3
Medium-5
Hard-7
:)
Trying to get this achievement on hard is quite easy as I said :D
 
On commetary guy from Valve said "We need to know that player picked weapons before opening door..."
 
Valve force you to shoot off the lock with a gun to prevent the player leaving the weapons behind by accident.
 
The RPG is not included in the "bullet" clause, Tenacious.

Ohhh so you can use the rocket launcher, that makes it easier, i was wondering how i would take that strider down on the last level.
 
I always hated it how even if you ingeniously killed the Strider before you got to the infinite rocket crate, another one would come and try and zap you.

I mean I knew it was because the Strider made the path for you out of the arena... but still.
