The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints

How can I get to where I can fight the chopper?

  • 1 of 7: Wait in safety while the guy who talked to you runs up a slanty storage container and gets himself killed.
  • 2 of 7: Go after him, but wait at the very edge of the drop-down for a bomb to go off below.
  • 3 of 7: After you drop down, crouch-walk under the large flatbed car with the red storage container on it.
  • 4 of 7: You'll find an unexploded bomb jammed into some boards.
  • 5 of 7: Pull it out with the gravity gun to get the boards (and the bomb) to collapse.
  • 6 of 7: Crouch-walk through and break the supply crate to find another armor battery.
  • 7 of 7: Turn left and bash the large crate that's in your way, then crouch-walk along until you can emerge outside in the main battlefield area.
