The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
Soldier Combat Tips
1 of 8: You should first shoot down the soldier that's outside the building, on the other side of the truck.
2 of 8: Crouch-walk around the spot where the truck and white van meet with the pistol out.
3 of 8: If you move back far enough, you should be able to see and shoot the soldier back there. He'll return fire, but it'll be very hard for him to hit you.
4 of 8: After he's down, get out the gravity gun and break the glass in the window with it.
5 of 8: When you do, a soldier will try to toss a grenade at you.
6 of 8: If it comes outside, quickly grab it with the gravity gun and throw it back through the window, preferably so that it'll bounce to the left and kill a soldier.
7 of 8: If that doesn't work out, use one of your own frag grenades to kill that soldier.
8 of 8: The other soldier in there stays over to the left of the window, so you can edge slowly up to the window to get to a spot where you can shoot him but he can't shoot you.
