Zombie Chopper (HL2)

[PurpleLeafRave]

I am so annoyed. I just played through Ravenholm on Half Life 2 using only the gravity gun, to get the zombie chopper achievement. It took me an hour and a half, and I played through all of chapter 6 "We don't go to Ravenholm". At the beginning of the next chapter, as you get in the car and are lowered down by the magnet crane, I didn't get the achievement.

I didn't use the crowbar or any guns for the entire level. Does anyone have any idea what I did wrong or why it didn't unlock?

Are you playing this on the 360?

Because in the 360 version you can activate God mode and still get the achievement.

Thats how I got One Free Bullet.

Yeah it's 360. There's a God mode?

Yup and activating it wont affect the achievement.

Heres are cheats from gamefaqs, http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/code/934384.html

HOLY CRAP

I can't believe I didn't know that. I tried Zombie Chopper and got so frustrated that I quit. Now I want to go back and play more. Thank you thank you thank you.

My pleasure. I admit I was quite shocked when I discovered that too.

You tell me this now? You bastard.

I thought most people knew. Apparently I let some big cat out of the bag.

I think I just assumed that you couldn't use cheats since it was such a "serious" game. Usually cheats only have no effect on achievments for kids games or lego games.

Also I usually use achievement guides and dont remember this being mentioned.

I didn't get the gnome achievement either despite doing it.

I remember doing Zombie Chopper... it was fine until the fast zombies showed up. I have to say though, manically flinging assorted rubble and rusty washing machines at the nippy buggers DOES enrich the atmosphere ;D

 

[CloggedDonkey]

weird, worked for me, and I didn't even use cheats. I guess that you might just have to do it again, or email Xbox about it.

Which one is zombie chopper again?

Well that makes sense.

Half-Life 2 had cheats on the PC but I never thought that they will be ported to the 360. And I never thought that the achievements would still work. I mean even the LEGO games never gave you the achievements if you use cheats.

I'm particularly annoyed by the possibility of doing it with cheats, as i did the zombie chopper, lil' rocket man and one free bullet achievements without cheating...... Cheating would have been better. Maybe i can use this to get the silo defence achievement.

Play through Ravenholme (all the way out of the mines, yes) using ONLY the Gravity Gun.

Considering buzz saws I don't think that one's hard. You could probably speed run it in a half hour.

Wow, thanks so much! I'll try it again. :L

Like I said, it was my pleasure.

Little off topic but I just got an update for the Orange Box on the 360. Odd I thought they never do that.

Mine updated too. Last night I went to the site you linked, put in the cheat, and got the Zombie Attack achievement. I was going to get more achievements but they just aren't worth enough points for me to bother. Plus, I know I'll never get the team fortress achievments, so I'll have to settle with my 400/1000 score.

The TF2 achievements are that difficult it just requires some time and a bit of luck. The only one I see you having trouble is playing a match with only your LIVE friends. I admit I had to get help from strangers to get that.

You are so right. Thats the achievement I was most scared of. I could just find random people but I thought it might be hard this long after the game released. Plus I have this weird fear of playing with strangers. I don't really know why. Although I have played games with people from here.

We should play online together sometime. It would be fun. Thats also why I keep that xbox badge in my top four here.
