Half Life 2 - Black Mesa East

December 29th, 2004

Ok, so the rest of the air bike maps didn’t take much longer. The climax of the air bike maps pits you against one of those super helicopters. I forgot to mention in my last post that when the resistance forces put that gun on my air bike, they got it from one of the super helicopters. So, essentially, you give this helicopter a taste of its own medicine! You end up in this very large, open area (you find out later it’s a dam basin) with a few hills, lots of water, and a bunch of crates with power for your HEV suit. This helicopter starts dropping a TON of mines on you and shoots at you a lot. Once I shot down the helicopter, I had to do some more problem-solving (of which there has been a lot of so far) to find out how to get out of the large area. I opened up a few gates, killed some guards, loaded up on some ammo, then drove my plane off the dam. I found a large utilities building with a dock, so I jumped off the air bike to investigate, and find out that I’ve ended up where Alex and her father, Eli, are! I’m greeted by a woman (can’t remember her name) that says how honored she is to meet me. I meet Eli and Alex again and I get the feeling from Alex that this other woman is going to be bad news. Supposedly she keeps talking about how she should have had my job in the first game and that she wouldn’t have screwed it up like I did. Whatever. Anyway, I’m at the point now where Alex is going to show me how to use the gravity gun (yipee!).
