The mission "Annoying Accident", Price jumps into the submarine. We can follow him.
Technically, there is no ladder here. These brackets are considered part of the landscape. In other words, if we jump, we just fall.
And crash.
Notice - the submarine is beautifully crafted. Rather, the first "room" of the submarine.
But how does Price actually get there? Oh, very simply. He jumps in. In other words, he literally crashes into the floor at full speed. At the same time, he somehow manages to survive, without even getting hurt or losing his breath! And what does he do next?
He stands. Steps back a meter and just stands there. Unfortunately, I couldn't take a proper screenshot, but you can check it yourself - he just stands a meter away from the ladder. Theoretically, you can even see him from above.
The submarine itself is active, not counting that both ladders are decorative. However, water...
The water evokes thoughts of Portal - upon contact with it, instant death follows. I'd only advise the Brits to toughen up.
It’s a very strange submarine. While some moments are hardly worked out at all, others are made at an excellent level. After all, it’s entirely possible to lead Price around a corner, and make the stairs up active. But - alas.
Overall, this submarine is a fantastic place for defense.
Earth in the Porthole
This is the Milky Way. Beautiful, isn’t it?
The story unfolds in a spiral. The first time - as a drama, the second - as a farce. Coincidentally, or perhaps it was intended, Houston rephrases the line once uttered from the infamous Apollo 13: "Houston, we have a problem." This time, the story repeats itself, but the problems this time belong to Houston...
By the way, Price is still not an idiot to kill everyone. Take a closer look:
The explosion occurred at a decent height and the only damaging factor was the EMP. As a result, three things happened:
All equipment was disabled
All military planes/helicopters crashed
Shepard received a full carte blanche
Overall, the plot of the game is much more complex than it seems at first glance. But that’s a completely separate topic.
Peeking?
The mission "As in Old Times". I accidentally paid attention to the screens that display footage from surveillance cameras.
Note - this happens in Afghanistan, whereas the colony whose images we can observe is located all the way in Kamchatka. And it belongs to Russia. Epic Fail.
We are going, going, going
Right there.
These tanks and vehicles can arrive for hours. The Kursk bulge is taking a break =)
Dedicated to all Team Fortress 2 fans
Hats. No, not like that.
HATS! No, still unconvincing.
HATS!!!
Oh, already more or less. Actually, it's much more prosaic. I'll show all of Price's hats =)
(The same outfit, but a different mission)
All fans rejoice! Above you can see image №100000!
As you can see, three hats and three outfits. Wait, what was I getting at? If you look closely, doesn’t it seem like something is missing? ;)
Yes. Precisely. The legendary red beret is missing. This is an insult to the fans of the series!!1! I suggest we urgently write a petition.
Although... Damn. They anticipated this >_<
Bummer, the petition is canceled. No worries, tomorrow evening we will definitely conquer the world...
Somewhere on the Russian-Georgian border
Mission "Unfinished Business." Full of details and actually the most crucial for the plot - here several lines converge.
The building is one of the most elaborated places in the game. It’s full of details. It was from here that Makarov planned the airport raid. And this could have served as evidence had the Americans had it just a few days ago - the war wouldn't have happened.
There is everything. Weapons.
Chemical formulas.
Operation plan.
This is the exact airport plan - we walked along the red line several missions before this, in "Not a Word in Russian".
There are detailed photographs of key places.
Even newspaper clippings.
And there is also a Cannon.
You know, I’m almost sure this is a reference to some game. But I can't tell which one - either Team Fortress 2 or Serious Sam.
And on the shelves, tons of explosives.
Hmm. What if...
Damn. Unbelievable. Bulletproof explosives. Wrap up a couple please o_O
Unfortunately, there’s not much else interesting in the building. Just weapons and equipment worth millions of dollars.
Although, if you look outside the house, you can find a couple of small buildings and even solar panels.
A great rarity, I must say. Perhaps this was done to provide the building with autonomy. It’s possible that it was built illegally - for concealment.
Well, you’ve made it through this post. I’m glad you survived and are even still able to leave a comment. I hope you didn’t waste your time too much =)
Good luck!
