Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
Fifth Group
1 of 11: Once again, wait around on the lower floor near the second train car for soldiers to show up, then run back to Alyx and let her kill them before you make a run up the stairs and on to the maintenance area's exit.
2 of 11: When you reach the door leading outside, make a quick run for the rocket crate and refill.
3 of 11: Then strafe to the right so you can see down the street and rocket a few metro cops.
4 of 11: When manhacks start coming for you, switch to the gravity gun and run back through the nearby doorway.
5 of 11: That forces the hacks to come to you through the doorway, which makes them easier to dispose of.
6 of 11: Then run back for the rocket crate and blow away any remaining cops and soldiers in the area, some of whom may be taking cover in or near the doorway to Barney's building.
7 of 11: When the coast seems clear, run over to Barney's building and go inside to get him and the last two refugees to follow you.
8 of 11: Run back to the rocket crate and resupply, then run for the maintenance building.
9 of 11: Shoot down the soldiers running around on the second train car while standing in the doorway into the building, then run for the big ramp.
10 of 11: Quickly run across the upper walkway, drop down, and take cover past the doorway that's just beyond Alyx's mounted gun.
11 of 11: Wait until she leaves the gun and comes inside, then run down the hallway to the train waiting room.
