Half-Life Hints
How do I get out of the room with the glass case?
1 of 5: The doors are shut and the alien inside the glass case is getting antsy. You want to move quickly.
2 of 5: There is a button on one of the control panels that will open the door.
3 of 5: It is covered by a shield that prevents you from pressing it.
4 of 5: Shoot through the shield to open the doors. An alarm will go off before you even get to push the button, which you don't really need to do.
5 of 5: Don't hang around to meet the alien inside the case.
