Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Street Combat Tips
1 of 14: Move toward the stairs, but retreat back inside the building the instant you hear the sound of Combine soldiers rappelling down nearby.
2 of 14: If they don't see you, they'll go to join the main street fight. Otherwise, shoot them when they come around the corner at you.
3 of 14: Sneak up the stairs with the pistol in hand to see if you can shoot any Combines in the back.
4 of 14: If some come after you, switch to a more powerful weapon or toss the nearby hopper at them.
5 of 14: When the street seems clear as far as you can see, move along slowly until a soldier runs out of a dark corner over on the left side of the street.
6 of 14: After you take him down, continue down the street to where an overhead bridge is being raised.
7 of 14: One soldier will appear on the bridge's left platform, and two more will appear in the street a bit farther down.
8 of 14: It's best to stay under cover behind the wreck of the red-and-white tanker truck while the soldier on the platform gets killed.
9 of 14: Then keep left as you move down the street so you can take cover in a small building nook when the other soldiers rush to the attack.
10 of 14: You can probably stay there and let Alyx and RPG-toting resistance guys finish them off.
11 of 14: Then move toward the back end of the street to get one more soldier to rappel down over on the left.
12 of 14: You're almost through. Move toward the wrecked blue car in the middle of the street to get more soldiers to blow open the doors in a building just ahead.
13 of 14: When the beeping starts, run back up the street and take cover in a building nook on the street's left side (your right side as you run that way).
14 of 14: After those and one more rappelling soldier are dead, the street is finally clear.
