Half Life 2 - Follow Freeman! (continued)

January 16th, 2005

I went to the roof to meet Barney and he told me just to lob some grenades to kill the two snipers. After that was easily done, we teamed up to get past the barriers and into the Combine, since he was undercover as a Combine soldier and could open any door. He opened the first barrier and met a little resistance, but no big problems. Then we got into a building and met up with a few resistance forces that joined my squad. We saw through a window a large, old building that would take us into the combine. But, to get to it, we had to dodge these supressor beams that would just shoot down large laser-like beams onto you and do a lot of damage. Once were were through that, we killed off a bunch of soldiers and got into the building.

Here, I discovered a new enemy - underground turrets. They would only set off by crossing though beams, but once you did, they would pop up, scan for targets, and blast away. At first, they were hard, but I got the hang of it by just running up next to its blind spot and dumping a grenade into it’s chassi. Apparently, we had to find some energy generators and disable them to get any further. This was actually one of the tougher battle sequences because a LOT of soldiers came at us and it was dark and I had to disable a bunch of those underground turrets while keeping Barney alive. I had to reload my game several times before moving forward. Once through that, we found the first generator and disabled it. Now, I’m on to get the next two.
