The SMG proves to be immensely useful at medium range against a moderately large group.Initially, the airboat lacks any weapons, forcing the player to either splatter enemies a la Halo, or else disembark and manually shoot them. The Soviet-style apartments are my favourite part of the level design.Controlling the airboat is dependent entirely on the WSAD keys, contrasting other games that involve the mouse in steering. Freeman must pass through numerous canals, some of which containing clean water, and others containing radioactive waste. The airboat mission is perhaps one of the most engaging missions in the game.
Occurring immediately after the acquisition of the airboat, Freeman continues to make his way through City 17’s canal system to Black Mesa East, engaging numerous Civil Protection units and a hunter chopper en route to the base.
