HL2 Depot - CELLBLOCK 3 (MELEE AND BARRICADES)
- Cellblock profile
- Most battle is happening on ground floor - the top floor provides a breathing space from which to watch and intervene in player's favour, though stray antlions sometime come up the stairs or through windows.
- Lower floor is swarming with antlions, but player can pick them off from the safety of the mezzanine/catwalk, thus easing escape through collapsed floor and to level exit.
- Med supplies
- Player can drop bugbait or grenades onto soldiers below, softening the area before entering via damaged area of floor-bars.
- Corridor split with cart system using barred mezzanine track (see reference)
- dead Antlion Guard
- Player entrance (laundy)
- guard catwalk
- Scripted sequence - soldiers erect barricade, only to have antlions burst through ground behind them.
- If player did not kill or bugbait guards (a) at start of level, they will have to be fought to pass.
- empty cells with working doors can be used as antlion containers via bugbait, alternative to combat.
- Isolated guards holed up in cells
- Soldier ragdoll
- Earlier Barricade destroyed and overrun by antlions. (player has to find place to climb/squeeze through)
- Med supplies, wounded soldier.
- As player comes around corner, antlions break through barricade at end of hall, and overwhelm guards at (b). Player can bug bait guards (a), or a cell, or fight through
- Dead antlion guard
- Guards (a) have backs to player, player is free to ignore them or ambush them
- Barricades
- Player has to drop into cluster of soldiers but can use height advantage (and/or bugbait) beforehand.
- Flimsy barricade, can be broken through by bugbait or weapons. Guards inside are being pushed up against it by antlions attacking from rear.
- Antlions also enter through windows
- rusty cell doors not always enough...
- Player Exit (to showers)
