Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Soldier Combat Tips
1 of 6: First, before you enter that hallway, get the cement block from near the two supply crates and toss it out into the hallway.
2 of 6: Then go out and turn right to find a red gas can that you can pick up with the gravity gun.
3 of 6: Move slowly toward the doorway down the hall, ready to toss the gas can at the first soldier who shows himself.
4 of 6: Then back up a bit, pick up the cement block, and kill the next soldier with it.
5 of 6: Then move forward and pick up the metal thing that's on the floor near the doorway and get the third soldier with it.
6 of 6: You can quickly retrieve one of those items to finish off the fourth soldier, or just SMG him in the head until dead. (They drop SMG ammo that you can pick up after they're dead, plus there's more ahead in the supply room.)
