Problem in Quake 4

I am apparently near the end - but I think I've hit a bug or something? (haha).

For those that have played the game in single-player mode:

I've just reached the core and exited a lift, and fought a couple of marines and a big robot thing. And now I have nowhere to go? All the doors in the room I'm in are locked.

I checked out a walk through guide from google which says this about where I am:

Guide said:
...Exit the lift from the back, and quickly kill the two Tactical Transfers on the
right side. You'll also notice a Gladiator on the other side, but from this
position you have plenty of cover to take care of him. As soon as he dies, an
Iron Maiden will rise up from the floor in front of the monitor. Kill her as
well, then look down the hole from which she came from. Jump down on the pipes
you can see below, and walk through this tunnel until you reach a ladder...

The trouble is - I used one shot from my Dark Matter Gun, which pretty much cleared out the whole floor in one shot. I didn't see any Iron Maiden pop up? This means that I have nowhere to go - there is no hole in the floor for me to jump into?

This is what my floor looks like:

This is what the floor of somebody else's game looks like. They have somewhere to go:

Does anybody have any advice? :confused:

Interesting! Is it far to go back to a previous save? Does that room have doors to the left and right infront of you?

It's not too far at all.

I have now tried to clear the room with different weapons, but still nothing is moving the access to these pipes. It's so annoying!!

I think you have to leave the room by a door ahead to your right, do stuff in there then come back and the door to the left will be open and then the floor panel bit happens. Sorry can't remember!

Can't remember exactly but I swear the way to progress is to actually kill that huuugeee monster thing. Once he's dead, you'll find he was sitting on the exit? Something like that.

I restarted the level and used the same weapons as before (well roughly..) and this time the floor door was open :confused:

Killing the Nexus easy, it was going into a room before hand and fighting 9 big tossers which was hard!

Good game. I liked the graphics on Quake 3 but thought the story line sucked completely.

I like the fact that we actually had a deeper storyline this time!
