Half-Life Hints
What just assassinated the security guard?
1 of 8: You will hear them before you see them. They are very difficult to deal with. They are fast, agile and extremely smart.
2 of 8: They are military assassins.
3 of 8: If you hear footsteps, they are nearby. You will see them for only a brief moment before they disappear. If they see you, they will fire and then run. If you fire at them, they will run. If you try and attack them at close range, they will backflip out of your way and run.
4 of 8: As you may have noticed, assassins do a lot of running around. It is worthless to try and chase them.
5 of 8: The best way to deal with them is to wait for them to come to you.
6 of 8: You might have to stray out into the open to let them know you are here. Be sure to duck back into relative cover before trying to deal with them. Stay quiet and wait for them to come near. Launch an Mp5 grenade at them when they show up.
7 of 8: You do not experience many assassins in the game, but when you do, they can be very tricky.
8 of 8: Another way to deal with the ones in this area is to let them see you, then quickly set up a laser tripmine across the path that they'll have to take to get to you. Back up and let 'em burn!
