Half-Life Hints
How do I get through the crate loading room?
1 of 10: Well, there never appeared to be a direct route.
2 of 10: Perhaps you should follow the ladders up to the top level -- you might just think of a solution from up there.
3 of 10: You need to jump on the crates to get to the other side.
4 of 10: Figuring out the path to take is pretty straightforward, but the problem is staying on the crates.
5 of 10: The momentum you gather just jumping from crate to crate can push you right off the edge.
6 of 10: Therefore, you need a way to stop yourself.
7 of 10: How about the ropes that hold the crates?
8 of 10: Aim dead center at the rope of the crate you plan to jump to. When you jump, you will run straight into the rope, preventing you from sliding off the edge of the crate.
9 of 10: Once you are on the last crate, jump down into the small hallway that is front of you.
10 of 10: Then all you have to do is find the nearby elevator and ride it to the next chapter of the game.
