Still active force fields!
Below is a shot of the single switch
Below is a shot of three switches

Where are the switches for the active force fields in the picture?
I think when the force fields are inactive I can find the other switches for the prison. This area is in the first area after the caves, around the right turning curving corridor, at the end after the force field is dealt with.

I think the switches in the curved corridor have to all be turned on within a given time frame once the first one is toggled. Otherwise they reset back to their original off positions. So once you fire upon one, you afterburn around the curved room and fire upon the others as quickly as you can before the first one resets.

Switches
I think you read that I was in the prison area. Sorry for that. I am talking about the first area AFTER the cave entrance, not the prison area. The switches in the pictures STAY on. If you ENLARGE the one with the boxes in it, you will see three switches TOGETHER through the window. The ones in the prison area are equidistant and not in a group like these ones.

If you hit something like alt-f8, you can look through the hud message log. Will see something about a backup generator activated. These are BEHIND the forcefield. You need to destroy it. It can be done and yes.. without cheating. Oh, also; shift-tab will give you an menu that allows you to view the map, the briefing, and a complete list of objectives that the GB will lead you to (most of the time)
Solution is below if you want.
[spoiler] Use the vauss cannon and shoot at the generator. It will kill the generator and deactivate it. Don't get too close or you will take damage of course. Another way is using a mega missile but this is generally considered cheating for some reason.[/spoiler]

Oh yeah, I remember those secret areas in Retribution Level 11 - You are supposed to fire flares at the forcefield when you are right in front of it. The four heavy flak turrets in the room behind will shoot at you, and end up fragging the generators, opening the force field.
No waste of ammunition that way.

Since when and by whom is using a Mega considered cheating?

I did it that way and it worked. ThanxDuper wrote:If you hit something like alt-f8, you can look through the hud message log. Will see something about a backup generator activated.
