It was done with help from Apolgee and was released by the BLAST

impasse. I have killed every soldier and tried to find every secret
room there is. I have found some and have moved on BUT I have tested
every wall I can find and I can find no more secret rooms and I can not
get to the next level. I am missing something and am stuck there without
finding the elevator to reach the next level.
I need help or a hint or an E-mail pic of that level that will get me
going again.  Thanks for any advice in advance.
