Half-Life Hints
I'm being targeted by hidden snipers. Where are they hiding?
1 of 6: Especially in this chapter, snipers are rampant in the old, broken buildings. Sniper nests abound.
2 of 6: If you start getting hit by a sniper, move back into cover. Start looking around.
3 of 6: They often reside in the shadows, so always check and re-check the shadowed areas around you.
4 of 6: Snipers are almost always above you. Look in the seemingly empty windows of any ruins you come to.
5 of 6: If you see some camouflage mesh hanging loosely over a window, then you know a sniper is up there. You might even be able to see the barrel of his gun wiggling around.
6 of 6: Get up close to the window without exposing yourself and toss a grenade or a rocket in. That should take care of things.
