Missing In Action: Dying every time I land on crashed elevator.

[Alienslayer2406]

I'm at the part where you have to climb down and jump onto the roof of the broken elevator. My only problem is I keep dying every time I hit the roof. I've tried everything I know to do. Any help?

EDIT: Never mind, it's just a phrasing error. My walkthrough's wording made me think I had to jump onto the elevator's roof, when I actually had to climb a broken vent inside the elevator.

Are you going to write a long rant about how this game is also very hard and create 5+ topics whenever you die or get stuck, like you did with Half-Life discussions?
And you are getting stuck while using a walkthrough?

nothing against you Veteran, i'm just using ur comment to make an idea about the player's comment

[Zakhar]

although i think forums are for people with questions who wants answers,and general interactions about what the forum is dedicated to,asking questions about every single chapter defeats the fun in looking for ways out yourself. using a walkthrough does too. for your own sake and fun,and to properly enjoy this masterpiece of a game,please.
Just look to your left or right every once in a while.

Alright buckarooni, prepare yourself for a Harry Potter-esque wall of text stating how your wrong and stupid and I'm right and smart. /s

I originally tried the vent in the elevator's ceiling, but since it was off the ground, I thought I had to JUMP into it instead of WALK into it. I kept falling off this way, and eventually thought this wasn't what I was supposed to do. So, I tried to climb up and jump off the ladder onto the elevators roof, but kept dying of fall damage. I then consulted IGN's walkthrough, which said:
"Use the access ladders on the walls to make your way downward, and jump onto the roof of the crashed elevator. Climb across the elevator roof to the office floor."

JUMP ONTO THE ROOF

Since I had been doing that the entire time, I obviously thought I was doing something wrong, and since I couldn't find any help regarding this online, I decided to come here. Then I looked at another walkthrough that confirmed I had it right the first time and had to use the vent. It was a simple communication error.

Others on here suggested I be more aware of my surroundings, and I decided to try this with Opposing Force. So far, it has worked quite well, and this game feels much more easy than the OG Half-Life as a result. I've looked up walkthroughs much less than I did with the OG.

I will admit that I am not a very patient person. I often find myself getting frustrated at games that are widely considered as easy, Super Mario World being an example (ridiculous, I know). It was both a mistake and a waste of time/resources to create so many posts when I could have just dug a little deeper. I understand how that could be annoying, and I apologize for that.

But I think you're being a little rude, no offense intended. I misinterpreted someone's misspelling and asked for a solution when I thought there wasn't one. Many people here -yourself included- would have probably done the same. Likewise, if you don't have anything worthwhile to contribute to the discussion, then don't say anything at all. Don't waste other people's time like I did with my seven posts.

However, you did open my eyes and made me realize that I need to tone it down a notch. I thank you saving me from future embarrassment.

Again, I don't mean to offend you or anyone else, and I'm sorry for making you read this wall of text. I hope you have a nice day.

I'm trying this with OF, and so far I'm having a blast. However, I was confused because I thought the right way to go was wrong, so I looked up a walkthrough that caused even more confusion, leading to me posting this.

[Zakhar]

reason why OF is easier for you is because youve learned from the original half life,which is good.
patience is another key of passing through the games. you cant just rush head first in all the action,you feel me?
keep playing mate,and if you get stuck again,please take 5 minutes of looking around before looking up a walkthrough and/or posting here.

[Zakhar]

make sure you check out blue shift,even though its shorter and not as action-packed,its still a good experience of the story.

[Zakhar]

^ ignore.
this is one of the bad ones on the forum. best thing to do is not acknowledge them.

No, I didn't? You sure you are not mistaking me with someone else?

[Zakhar]

%100. You got banned too.

[Zakhar]

you had that "awful" red text next to your name on the forums.

[PsyWarVeteran]

Nope, you may have "fought fire with fire" but in the end got burned it seems ;)
