Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / October 2005Highway 17 problem
I think I've made a major boo-boo and I don't know how to get out of it. On highway 17, I've figured out I need to lift the buggy with the magnet crane so I can jump the bridge, but the buggy is stuck in the water out of reach of the crane and I cant move it when I jump in it as it is submerged. Any ideas???? Spizz >I think I've made a major boo-boo and I don't know how to get out of it.

Any >ideas???? How did you end up leaving it in the water? Two suggestions: either go back to an earlier saved game and make sure you park the buggy in reach of the crane. Or, try blowing the buggy out of the water with the grav gun. Incidentally, you don't HAVE to jump the bridge gap ... -- user00 >>I think I've made a major boo-boo and I don't know how to get out of it. >>On highway 17, I've figured out I need to lift the buggy with the magnet [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > park the buggy in reach of the crane.

I cant go back to an earlier save game though because there are only 4 showing after i ditched the buggy, and the next one is back at welcome to ravensholm. I dont know whats happened to all of the ones in between. And I really dont want to do the big buggy drive again unless i have to. > Incidentally, you don't HAVE to jump the bridge gap ... Tell me more???? And wont i need the buggy after the bridge? Cheers, Spizz >> Or, try blowing the buggy out of the water with the grav gun. > > Ah, I never thought of that. Well, considering that's the first thing you ever did with the buggy, you'd think it might have crossed your mind :) > I'll give that a bash later when i get back on my PC.

There are only two quicksaves and two autosaves (just as in HL1); they overwrite each other constantly. If you want to make a permanent save you need to press Esc and then Save Game from the menu screen. Fortunately HL2 also creates a save at the start of a new chapter, which HL1 never did. I'm surprised you don't have one at the start of Highway 17. >> Incidentally, you don't HAVE to jump the bridge gap ... > > Tell me more???? And wont i need the buggy after the bridge? Yep, you will need the buggy, you just don't have to drive it over the bridge. (I'm assuming he means the little raised bridge near the crane, not the huge "Bridge Out" bridge across a canyon.) -- Paul > >> Or, try blowing the buggy out of the water with the grav gun. > > > > Ah, I never thought of that. > > Well, considering that's the first thing you ever did with the buggy, you'd > think it might have crossed your mind :) LOL. Tbh, I haven't played since June 13th according to my last save game. It's all a bit hazy but it's coming back to me slooooowly. Anyway, it worked nicely. Thanks folks. > > I'll give that a bash later when i get back on my PC.

It was possible in HL1 to quicksave yourself into a bugged or ammo-less situation that you couldn't get out of without a full save. Though I haven't heard of that happening in HL2, being able to go back a short distance can help, as you are discovering :) -- Paul >>>I think I've made a major boo-boo and I don't know how to get out of it. >>>On highway 17, I've figured out I need to lift the buggy with the magnet [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Cheers, > Spizz Well, it appears the crane and magnet have a job to do for you :) Have fun with the sea-land containers!

Oh, I meant to say, I kinda crashed avoiding one of those big a.s creatures and just left it thinking I wouldn't need it any more. Just out of reach of the crane and totally submerged :o( Spizz > I think I've made a major boo-boo and I don't know how to get out of it.
