Alright, I'm playing this game on xbox360, and from what I can tell, sometimes the controls have a little more latency/lag on older xbox games than in current 360 games.

Here's where that's a problem. I just hacked the computer, went up stairs, took out some guards, and am now in a room with a turret (on my way to blow up trucks or something).

I take out the guys on the 2nd floor using their own turret against them, then I grab a pipe above me and slide across the room. 2 guards appear, and one goes into a retinal scanner locked room, the other waits outside.

When I try to silently drop behind the guard still outside of that door, he always hears me, even though I press 'B' which should allow me to land silently. It feels like the controls lag a little and there is just not enough time to register me hitting 'B'.

Any other options on how to complete this part. I need the guy alive and conscious to open the retinal scanner lock, and it take's a bit of time to keep going though this.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Well there is a way you can sneak in through the door whenever he opens it for the other guy. This guy known as themessage did it in his video walkthrough. I've never done it his way though, and it looks like it's pretty tough to do & takes a lot of distractions & just the right timing to get through the door unspotted. Here's a link to that part, starting a little 3:00 into the vid:

My only other suggestion if the game absolutely will not let you silent drop behind the guy is to first equip the ring airfoils on your rifle then shimmy across the pipe. When you land behind him, immediately draw the SC20 & hit him with a ring airfoil to stun him, then run & get behind him and grab him. That should work, though you may get shot once or twice before you can hit him with the airfoil which sucks, but there's not much you can do if the game's being stubborn, lol. At any rate, hopefully that works

Thanks, I think I might try the airfoil approach (I cannot believe I didn't think of this before). That youtube vid is pretty sweet but yeah it looks tough.

Again, thanks for the help!

Sure thing! And you ought to check out the other vids of his walkthrough. It's amazing to see how he goes through the game. I like how he does the end of the Abbatoir in particular.

There's a much easier approach for this section.

First, of course, shoot out most of the room lights that would expose you on the pipe. Next, head across the pipe until the two show up and one enters the door. Finally, back up until you can see one of the hall or floor lights and draw your weapon (you'll hang by your feet), shoot out the light(s) and that guard should move away from his post to investigate.

Quickly shimmy to the drop zone and do a 'back to the wall' in the corner nearest the retinal scanner and wait for him to return. Now slide along the wall until you're behind him, come off the wall and tap 'A' to grab him and take him to the scanner. Hide his body and move into the room!

I had success with the Airfoil method, didn't even take any damage

Thanks for all the other suggestions too
