Half-Life Hints
How do I survive the fall from the broken pipe?
1 of 6: You will fall just above a table that has some medkits on it.
2 of 6: Try to land on the table so you can help break your fall and are immediately healed of any major wounds (and crush the headcrab that's under the table).
3 of 6: Also, if you lean on the down arrow key while sliding down the falling pipe, you'll end up taking less damage.
4 of 6: There are more health kits in the boxes in the room. Break them all and gather the contents left behind.
5 of 6: You may remember the wall-mounted tripmines that you encountered in "We've Got Hostiles." Well, you will find unset tripmines in the boxes as well. Grab them, as you can set them yourself.
6 of 6: You might want to save your game and practice setting and detonating them before moving on to the next level.
