Hello, I want to say first that you’ve done a very great job in about every aspect (except maybe marines damage/reactivity) on this remake.

I’m stuck here :

I know I have to do an airstrike in the original HL, but I don’t know how to do it here, or maybe I have to do something else in Black Mesa? I’ve tried Use , Fire 1, Fire 2, no key work to launch the airstrike anywhere on the minimap. Somebody has already gone through it?

Thank you.

Exactly where I am stuck and I haven’t heard anything yet either.

Update: Figured out how to get pasted that part. Select your target and hit the barely visible fire button at the bottom the tac map with fire 1.

#3

Ok so I finally took a look at the tac map. There is a fire button on the screen at the very bottom. Select your target then hit the fire button with your use key.

#4

Ok, thank you, I thought of that too, but didn’t aim very much the fire button, I noclipped my way out…

Hi all.

I am playing Black Mesa and i’m stuck in the ST chapter.
I went past the bridge fight with no problem, I went down underwater and exited in a canal and I continue walking. Then I reach at a certain part where it looks like I have to jump, grab a rope and climb up to a cave. But I find it impossible. How can I grab the rope ? I tried E and didn’t work…

#6

Well i used noclip for that one time.
Just use ~
type:
sv_cheats 1
and after that noclip
When you passed it type noclip again.

The fun wont go away from just 1 cheat.

#7

I’m stuck a bit earlier: I can’t cross the bridge because the helicopter is shooting me as soon a I’m in the open. Did I miss something? I can’t take it down without a rocket launcher, or can I? Thank you!

Answer to the first question was walking on the border right next to the platform instead of jumping toward the rope. To the second question: Use your Tau Cannon

#9

You don’t need the rope to make the jump. Actually it’s not a rope. It’s the tongue of a Barnicle. Kill the Barnicle so it does not catch you mid-jump.
The jump looks harder than it is. It’s actually not that far.

I shot at it with the Tau for a few shots. Then it flew off. I’m not sure if you even have to shoot at it… may or may not be necessary. Take cover in the building to the right.

#10

I just noticed that earlier… how silly I was :smiley:

#11

I am not sure if i bugged something up or did something wrong, but the part right before Forget about freeman i am very stuck.

The building next to the one where the 2 guards meet and give you a crap-load of weapons, the one building that is all in rubble almost i see no way to get out at all to the other side i have tried to escort the guards to open doors nothing tried every single door searched every wall even tried to get on the roof nothing.

Did i bug something up? How do you get out.

[COLOR=‘PaleGreen’]Post a screenshot of where you’re up to.

While in game hit F5.

Navigate to:
…\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\BMS\screenshots
Go to imgur and upload it and post a link to it here.

I’m also on Surface Tension, stuck in the laser mine room. Is this the right direction?

[COLOR=‘PaleGreen’]There’s an elevator in the middle of the room that will take you down to the next level. To get passed the lasers, you’ll need to jump in from higher ground.

At the back of the room there is smaller elevator, you need lift it up and use that as the high ground.

#15

Yes, but do I need to get past the forklift somehow (can’t squeeze through) or do I need to head to be right?

Edit: Nevermind, just got it. Thanks for the help though!

Hi, sorry that this is probably a stupid question, but I seem to be experiencing a lot of difficulty killing the apache in surface tension, on the cliff. I have fired all 7 rockets at it and successfully brought it to “flaming”, but couldn’t kill it. I tried every other gun in my inventory and am down to my basic assault rifle (used the grenades already), pistol and shotgun.

Have I missed something? Does the apache have a weak spot or something?

Playing on “normal” difficulty.

#17

I’ve noticed this too, but only when firing from behind the left rock. after moving to the right, it suddenly caught fire and started barraging me with rockets.

#18

I’m sat behind the green crates, seems the best place to not get knocked around by the missile barrages.

I die really quickly if I’m not extremely careful. I have a fair bit of health/suit though.

#19

I had a similar problem…
I fired between 15-20 rockets at the damn thing, but it seems it was immortal. The chopper was stuck in a retarded dead/alive state like Schrodingers cat. The chopper was on fire but was still shooting at me. When I finally died, the next time I was able to bring it down.

#20

There is an infinite rockets crate in front of the cots. Use it.

The hard part is actually getting to it without getting mowed down. :slight_smile:
