Half-Life Hints
How do I get past the electrical beam in the control center?
1 of 7: When you move into the control room, an electrical beam will begin by knocking out various control panels on the wall.
2 of 7: Eventually, it will break through the door across the way.
3 of 7: Stay back until everything has exploded.
4 of 7: You have seen the strength and the power of the beam, so you obviously do not want to get near it.
5 of 7: You will have to crouch to get under it.
6 of 7: Crouch and quickly move towards the opposite door. Stay crouched until you have successfully moved out of the doorway.
7 of 7: Or run across the room right after the beam discontinues.
