Mass Effect 2 Problem

    Right so here's my dilema: I'm stuck on Mass Effect 2, about ten minutes into the game :D Not stuck as such, but wondering what the hell I'm meant to do.

    I'm at the part where I'm shooting across at the enemies from the balcony. You know the one between two doors and the seats in the middle. Well I am shooting the enemies over and over but the keep coming. I've examined the doors but nothing happens.

    I've been shooting these enemies for about twenty minutes now and nothing is happening! I'm at this part of the game to be specific:

    I've checked online guides and forums but I can't find anything about it. If anyone can help, I'll be sooooooooo grateful :D

    Is that the part where you have to order one of your own guys to take out an enemy? Use the left shoulder button to order your team mate to use a power against them.

    Yup,that's it.

    You have to order the dude to take one of the enemies out.

    Actually now that I think about it, it might be the right shoulder button....

    Yeah, it is telling me that RB opens the menu, and then it tells me to use the left analogue to select Pull. When I highlight pull it says to press A to use pull. When I do it turns it blue, and nothing happens.

    Seriously, the game is great up to this and I'm a little bit irritated.

    Actually I somehow found out how to do it. Thanks Mr. E!

    You let go of RB and the power will take effect.

    Just to point out that while you are selecting the power for your team mate to use (or yourself for that matter) you should be aiming the targeting reticle at the enemy or other item that you want to use the power on :)

    Is there any way to keep the radar on screen all the time? I'm guessing not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,504 ✭✭✭✭DirkVoodoo


    My only problem is clicking resume after I die loads the "beginning of mission" save file instead of the more recent autosave, which is total pain in my assholes.

    Really? For me it throws me back to the action at the autosave point, you press A after you die to continue right?

    It should be going back to the autosave - that's what it does for me.

    Mine started doing that recently. I'd hit Resume and instead of the Autosave, it brought me back to a save that was back on the Normandy. Don't know why this suddenly started happening, just got into the habit of going to 'Load' and selecting my Autosave.

    Seeing the original cry for help, I realised what a pity it is that EXP is a set amount per mission, as opposed to individual enemies providing a little when they kick the bucket. The infinite enemies at that point could be handy for levelling up a little early on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,504 ✭✭✭✭DirkVoodoo


    Yup, clicking resume brings me to the "start of mission" save, I have to manually load the autosave. First time it happened was the archangel mission and it brought me back to before I had set foot on Omega, I nearly flipped.

    Am i the only one who laughed at the op's problem.

    As for the save thing yeah happened to me to, so i just loaded the autosave manually
