Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Soldier and Zombie Tips
1 of 7: The soldiers will be backing toward you, making them easy targets for close-up shotgun blasts.
2 of 7: Of course, you can always rocket them from a safe distance and then return to the rocket crate to refill.
3 of 7: The same goes for the zombies, but it might be more amusing to let Alyx shotgun them all.
4 of 7: Stay at the doors after the first batch of soldiers and zombies are dead, since more will appear very soon.
5 of 7: Another strategy is to retreat to the room with the shotgun rack as soon as the doors are blown open and let the zombies and soldiers fight each other.
6 of 7: When all is quiet down there, go see if there are any survivors to finish off.
7 of 7: Then go back and refill on rockets at the crate and/or shotgun shells at the gun rack before proceeding. (I won't be reminding you of this anymore, so try to remember to do it after every combat.)
