Half-Life Hints
How do I avoid the soldier/alien slave battles?
1 of 7: You will often show up just in time for battles to break out between stationed soldiers and alien slaves teleporting in. You will want to avoid these battles at all cost since you could be damaged severely.
2 of 7: Do NOT run in. You would become a prime target for both sides.
3 of 7: Instead wait just around the corner or out of sight of the battle.
4 of 7: In one case, you can "activate" the battle safely by bashing a grate under some stairs and going down into a small under-the-floor area.
5 of 7: Wait for things to cool off and for the firing to stop.
6 of 7: Listen to who is still alive. Soldiers will chatter into their radios and slaves will make weird alien noises. Know what you are going to have to deal with when you round the corner.
7 of 7: Come out of hiding and take care of whoever else is left.
