Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
How can I take this sniper out?
1 of 7: Well, there is an infinite rocket crate nearby.
2 of 7: Make a quick run for it, then open it to resupply on rockets.
3 of 7: Get your RPG out and move slowly back from the crate until you can see the top half of the sniper's window over the dumpster.
4 of 7: NOTE: It'll be all black rather than looking like the building's other windows, which are closed.
5 of 7: Fire rockets at that window until you get one in.
6 of 7: You'll need to fire a rocket while aiming up higher than the window to make sure it clears the dumpster, then lower your aim to adjust the rocket's path toward the window.
7 of 7: You can tell when you succeed because if you jump up and down, you can see the sniper's flaming corpse hanging out of the window. (Or if you wait and listen, you won't hear any more sniper shots.)
