Half-Life Hints
The ruins do not seem to lead anywhere.
1 of 9: The damaged fire escape leads to the roof of the actual building ruins.
2 of 9: There are three soldiers lurking below you, so be ready when jump down to the ground.
3 of 9: Slide down a nearby fallen beam and begin looking around. You will find a door that leads back out into the alley, but that is no good. You have already been there.
4 of 9: You will soon find out that there is nothing on the ground floor of the ruins that leads anywhere important. Maybe you should start looking on other floors of the ruins.
5 of 9: The building, which once was standing where the rubble now is, had two floors. The ground floor leads nowhere, but the former first floor might.
6 of 9: You should see a possible exit on what would be the first floor of the building.
7 of 9: Notice the way the ruins have rubble-platforms that all seem to be connected by metal support beams?
8 of 9: You need to navigate your way onto those platforms and move into a position where you can jump over to the exit.
9 of 9: After using the hornet gun or whatever to kill the soldiers down below, jump from the roof to the skinny piece of tall wall remains that's over on the right side of the area. From there, you can drop down to a chunk of the first floor and jump across to the door.
