A comprehensive guide to single-player descent methods at the first bridge.

Posted March 28th 2011

Associated movies… BCM7, BCM11, BCM12, BCM13, BCM27, BCM28, BCM29, BCM30, BCM33 (but see also BCM8, BCM40, BCM41)

This is my attempted comprehensive guide to single-player methods of descending from the first bridge in 'Assault on the Control Room'. It's a project I started after releasing BCM7 and BCM8 featuring one such method. I figured it was time I learnt about others and tried them out. I've done a lot of archive trawling to find all I can, and a number of folk have provided useful material along the way (thanks again to them).

Method descriptions are written in general terms rather than trying to describe exactly how things were done originally, as those particulars are usually not critical and there's often a good deal of variation possible. Checkpoint advice is separated out, as the use of checkpoints to ease the work is never necessary, though often very useful if you're not in a rush.

Many methods are only suitable for PAL Xbox, while some are only suitable for NTSC and PC. In the contents list below, I've indicated the systems to which methods are well suited, to the best of my knowledge. With some methods you might also be able to use an unsuitable system, though it would likely be problematic. You'll find greater detail on the pages themselves.

Note: My bridge descent movies are listed in the Bridge descents section of my movie index page, and are all done on a PAL Xbox.
