I am still fighting through HL2, and I am currently along Highway 17, having the first encounter with the gunship.

I used up all my ammos, but the gunship is still running. What do I do now? Should I revert to a saved game and start over and try to have more accurate aim?

Ah, interesting approach. Thanks Captain P.

I am hoping to release the Justice map soon, but I've got a bad case of the flu and mapping burn-out. So I'm taking a break from mapping and playing the game instead.

I bet most people finish the game first before starting to map (like you did, beating the game soon after it was released). But I actually started mapping before I even started to play! What a hardcore mapper. I just finished Ravenholm today.

Thanks. I must have terrible aim. I might not have the laser guide pointing at the helicopter when I fire, because most of the rockets end up flying around and not hitting the target.

I've used up all the ammos in the crates I could find, and all my teammates are dead. I am such a lame Gordon.

Yeah, I know. I need to learn how to use the RPG better. I usually have very good shot with other weapons, but the RPG is kinda different. I hope after I get the hang of it I'll have a better chance at surviving the later stages in the game.

But I didn't find 20 rockets. I only found about 5 or so. I guess I need to look harder.

Ah, that's the trick. I wasn't using the rocket launcher correctly then. I used to aim the laser guide at the gunship and fire, but then I hide in the corner while the rocket flies blindly at random location in the air. I think there has been times when the rocket came right back in my direction because my launcher was pointing at the wall across the room.

Thanks for the tip.

I was trigger-happy when I got the RPG, and I left the room when the Colonel was still babbling away. I just heard something like aiming the pointer at this and that. I went straight to the roof to (try) shooting down the gunship.

Silly me.
