BF2S Forums [Crysis] Crysis - Core (I'm stuck)

That level was kinda confusing, heres what I did though, I turned on subtitles and restarted level. He pretty much tells you where to go, just gotta pay attention.

strange pic :S
And very strange level. I have no idea how i comlete it. I was just flying around and managed to get out some how

Can't recall how I did it... I actually can't recall bumping into any shields

go down. There is a few small shields in a row. Wait til they go down. And continue forward.

Nope, that happened before this particular room.

This is a room that you enter closer to the level-end (I think?).

How you get into this annoying room:
There is a grate that you pass through, go down a tunnel/shaft and you're in the room before this one.
Then you go look at the shield barrier on the opposite side of the room.
You look at the alien machines therein and he says something like "it's an invasion force."
Then a hex-like door lights up on the other side of this room. You go over there and the "game saved" message pops up.
The hex-like door slides open, you move forward far enough and the door closes behind you while a similar door opens in front of you.
There are some aliens moving about behind it (the shield).

Problem though - F-ing(!) shield with no explanation of how to disable it; or where or what I needed to do previously, in the level, that might have disabled this F-ing(!) shield.

There is a shield in front of me that I can't pass. Did I miss something earlier in the level. I blew up all 6 generators in a previous room - is there something else that I should have done. I've seen some videos on Youtube of this level and they simply don't have a shield in any of the videos.

How come there is an impassable shield blocking me from moving forward in this level?

Look down, underneath you should be a passageway, i think its above you when you come in the level, continue through that. If this is the place i think it is, it should have a bunch of alien control panels around where you are.

Actually there is a shield-barrier in this room.

So, I simply reloaded the level and replayed it. This time there was no shield-barrier in this room. Go figure? O' well, I will never know why there was a barrier the first time. Maybe it was just a weird level glitch.

you just have to wait for it to open, it takes a while though.

Thanx!!!

But thank Nvidia: for the 780i + 3-way SLI and 3 8800 Ultras - overclocked by me.
Thanks to Intel: 3.00ghz Conroe - overclocked by me to 3.7ghz (I might upgrade to an E8400, if I can overclock it to 4.0ghz or more).
Thanks to JVC: for a 5ms 37" tight dot-pitch LCD HDTV (big but not to big).
Thanks to Natural Mod (available at Crymod): for improving the lighting in Crysis.

I get on average 45-62 FPS on ultra high DX10 settings. The worst/laggey parts dip to 30-40 FPS.

AA of any kind reduces the FPS by 5 to 10 FPS. Because of the soft-smoothing pixel effects built into the HDTV, I just turn down the Detail-level to get the near same effect as if AA was enabled. It looks best to me with Nvidia/Crysis: AA OFF, HDTV: theater-mode, HDTV: Detail -30.

Maybe you should swap the 780i for a D5400XS ?

That can't do 3-way SLI. SLI and 3-way SLI is compatible with DirectX frame buffering. Quad-SLI is not compatible with DirectX frame buffering. Also there is no support in any game, yet, for 8-core code execution threading.

The board is a total waste. And I would have to dump using one of the 8800 utlras - and run it in standard SLI. As opposed to 3-way SLI (AFR3 spec).
