Yea, that worked but was not worth a damn because when you reloaded your save point all the previously killed enemies were alive and well.

This works: \game_save & \game_load

But it screws up the radar at times.


And for anyone who has completed the game, what's with that last level with all the trigen rocket launcher guys?. It is a major pain in the @$$. Is there a strategy to stay alive?

How do I use "\game_save & \game_load" ? Do I simply type \game_save, while I'm playing?

That's right, type it in console.

After you type something in console once, you don't have to type it again, to enter it again you just hit "up arrow" and press "enter"

You mean the double doors wherein the first door locks so you can't seek refuge back in the complex? Think high ground. Ask again if that's too vague.

hmmm, that only worked for me after I started a game and then typed in \save_game x.

So it was not like after the very first time I typed it would always work, only after I opened up the console and then typed in the command it would then last for the session that I was on...unless I am doing something wrong????

Plan on getting shot from hundreds of yards away from some guy you can't see regularly.
I've played plenty of games like that but it's fine because most of them allow unlimited quicksaving.

Yup, that's the spot, I'll try your hint, thx.
Haven't felt much like continuing the game with being stumped at this spot.

Yea, it only works for that session. Typing anything after \save_game as some people suggested(such as "x" or "01") did not work for me.

Well, I'm asking again. Kept to the high ground but I keep dying quickly. Very frustrating.....help!

By high ground I did not mean higher earth. You need cover atop some man-made indestructible concrete. It may take a few tries and the rocket launcher trigen may score some hits on you, but you can made the ceiling (over the double doors) become your floor. That's exit and couple of lefts.

Just tried a saved game to duplicate the roof jump and for the live of me couldn't find the right spot for the longest time. Eventually got back up there a few times just to make sure doing so isn't just a fluke. If you can't make it, here's PLAN B: take a seat. You can temporarily block open the first door.

OK, I finally got up there and eliminated all the trigen. Couldn't have done it without your advice.
Aslo had to go back slightly earlier and make sure I had the sniper rifle with me.
Thx.:)
