: Alternatively, if you stand ON the lowered platform and QUICKLY run in and
: out of the long corridor, it is possible to activate the platform and ride
: it up without shooting at the far away switch. Back when I was playing
: this scenario alot, it got very annoying trying to hit that switch. That's
: when I noticed that you don't need the switch at all. But you have to be
: VERY QUICK and must BARELY touch the long corridor before the platform is
: activated. With practice, it becomes much easier.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to refer to before ... a nice alternative.
Playing it again, another annoyance came back to me - that strobe light flashing corridor above the stairs, and the fact that you have to revisit it a few times! Navigating it on map view is so much nicer ... at least after the way is clear :).
