Post your help requests and answers in this thread. It is useful to include the name of the map where you are stuck, the location (a screenshot will work wonders) and the exact issue which bugs you.
Technical issues are to be logged in the Technical queries and fixes (Read the checklist first) thread
With fries and mayo?
You can also specify whether you need a gentle hint or a big fat spoilery step-by-step description of what you should do to carry on. If you don't tell us, we'll be subtle or... not.
General hints
Explore boldly and look specifically for:
- valves
- oversized electrical plugs
- structural weaknesses
- boxes of grenades (and stuff to blow up in the vicinity)
- energy sources to disable (cunningly or violently)

I'm right near the end and I can't find my way out!!!!
I'm at the part where the usual path of ascendance is blocked by a thick rusty pipe. Someone throw me a bone - but make it a little one if possible :wink:
EDIT: nevermind.

alright, so I'm on the first level of depth charge, and I just got past the stalker walkway, and now I'm at the forcefield with the three supply crates - and I have no idea how to get past it.
I'm sure it's something incredibly obvious, but could somebody more enlightened give me a hint? please?

There's a powerplug supplying the force field, stack the crates to pull it.

I'm almost at the end ... I've gotten past the first of the aforementioned pipe puzzles, but now I can't figure out how to get past the forcefield, or through those other pipe to get at the health pack ...

1. Look for _all_ the pipes and valves.
2. The grenade box is there for a reason.
If you need more help, let us know. We'll spoil some more.

Check the gangway - it's damaged, the floor bent in a little. You can't fit through that gap but maybe something else can?

Oh, I'm such a noob...
I'm stuck in the very the beginning of Depth Charge when Minerva tells you to get armed. I just can't find a way to get in to the armory to your left. I did get quite far running around unarmed, evading the combine with my elite sprint skills, but it was no fun, so I guess that's not the way it's meant to be played.
Hint plz

I'm pretty sure that was the way it was meant to be played, and I for one thought it was fun, different at least. I tried forever to break into the supply crates without any weapons. I tried dropping them, throwing them at things and various other entertaining methods, but no luck... heh...

Actually, yeah, you'll be unarmed for a while. Keep going, eventually you'll get a gun, and you'll see some cool stuff on the way.

Need some help with depth charge. I finished the bottom floor and moved one up... I'm in a shaft/set of rooms disabling plasma buffers now. I pressed two buttons on walkways above the shaft, but not much happened and I can't leave the area. Am I missing something? [/code]

To quote the good Ms. M.: Quote: Surrounding the shaft are plasma buffers, designed to counteract a potentially catastrophic flaw in this laughable power downlink system - something to do with the distance to geosynchronicity and the speed of light...
Disable the plasma buffers, and the stabilisation system will become vulnerable to power surges inflicted from above.

Something did happen when you pressed those 2 buttons. Try going back to the previous saved game and hit them again and observe what happens. Also remember how you got into that room where you finally got a gun after not having one awhile.
