The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
How can I get to the launch door controls?
1 of 11: Go through the back doorway in the flooded room and up some stairs to encounter a hunter, up close and personal.
2 of 11: Hopefully, you have at least one pulse rifle energy orb left, and can use it to disintegrate this hunter before he can damage you. Otherwise, you'll have to dodge him as best you can while shooting him with the shotgun or crossbow.
3 of 11: Check the two fenced-in rooms past the hunter encounter to find some supplies and a lot of useful explosive canisters.
4 of 11: Just to the right past the second fence room is a rubble pile that two soldiers will come over as you approach it.
5 of 11: As you move through the second fence room, have an explosive ready to throw at the soldiers as they appear in the doorway ahead of you.
6 of 11: You can easily get over the rubble pile by setting one of the many nearby crates in front of it and then jumping onto it from on the crate. This works as a handy shortcut to get into the bottom of the silo area.
