I tried, but only with the shotgun (10 - 15 shots)... It only made some nice holes in the plate... Maybe the Plasma gun will do it (but I think I'm out of ammo?)... No LAMs either... Maybe there's a case of TNT somewhere?

Maybe I only dreamed this after playing, but IIRC there was also a person that I should talk to in order to get some info on something... But the place is empty and all the guys I met were hostile and tried to kill me... As I said, maybe I dreamt this after playing... Been a while since I dreamt about current games!

Before entering the deck I noticed through the door's window it had the same ventilation shaft beneath the desk as Flight Control deck 2...

Thought I could bypass the door, but never found the entrance (if there is any)... Didn't find the door's nanokey until I opened all the lockers and there's where my lock-picks went... If there is a way in and I can find it, I'll have my lock-picks for the plate...

Otherwise, I hope I have some ammo to the Plasma gun... I wouldn't enjoy going back and replay...

I don't think plasma guns will do it usually (They might if you have a high enough skill level in hvy weaps I suppose?).
GEP gun = "best lockpick ever invented", but if you're lugging around a plasma gun I'm guessing you didn't keep the rocket launcher?
Shotguns will take down some doors but you need to use the AP ammo and that's usually in fairly short supply.

IIRC there might be a law in the armoury ...

Heh, heh! IIRC there is a GEP gun somewhere in the building. If true, then I guess I can drop the Plasma gun and pick it up...

Since I hadn't saved with the normal save option I only have the quicksave left... Problem is that the quicksave is after I've spent the LAM and the lock-picks...

And the last real save is in the MJ12 facility... Where I have to deal with one of those super agents again (explodes when you kill him)...

If you have a sniper rifle, shoot him in the head.
Or let the greasels out and let them deal with him.

But then I have to deal with them...

I think there's where I used the LAM. I put it on the wall (where a ladder starts), exposed myself so he came running up the stairs (triggering the LAM) and then finished him off with my gun...

Opening that plate is not essential at all!!! You seem to be stuck at that facility, I read you already entered the flight control deck #1 that means you've done what you need to do in this map, just push the 'weapons lock' button in there and enter Hong Kong proper. And for your earlier question about speaking to someone... you haven't seen a lot of Hong Kong yet...

If you're redoing it I would really really recommend that you ditch the plasma rifle. It is a really good weapon but you are going to run short on ammo if you use it too frequently and it just doesn't give you the depth of the GEP gun.
Those lockers for example can all be, erm, 'opened' with a single rocket at the one in the middle.
You do find the odd plasma gun around in several of the later levels so you can always drop your launcher when you find one, use the PG to wipe out everything on the map and then come back for your launcher.

Incidentally the androids are vulnerable to the riot prod. You just need to hit them 2-3 times from behind ...


Heh heh. Deus Ex must be getting to you. Is that the first time you've ever used an ?

I've never used the plasma gun apart from the levels I have found it on. Likewise with the shotgun.

Hm... Is there something as easy that I've missed? After entering the deck, the goal is not marked as "completed", so something more needs to be done... The only thing I found was the locked plate... I'll check again tonight!

I've invested some weapons' improvements in the shotgun... Sunk costs, yes, but it hurts to let it go... Likewise with the assault rifle (which is different from the assault gun, right?), but I like that one...

Difficult to know which weapons that are good and which to keep away from the first time you play a game...

The sword worked fine as a lock-pick... The plasma gun is out; the sword is in (for now)... The plate contained two bioelectric cells...

Off to the market! Maybe I'll find that antique china everyone seems so thrilled about...

There is a turret in there, which you can reprogram via a computer terminal... Whenever I did, though, the animals (?) moved right under the turret so it couldn't hit them...

I've never played MP with a shooter, so it'll be like stealing candy from a child...
