Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I manage that?
1 of 9: Have you ever tried going down the road past Northern Petrol on foot?
2 of 9: You can get all the way to the bridge ramp, but can't go further without the jeep.
3 of 9: But notice that the gunship doesn't show up to shoot you.
4 of 9: That means that the trigger point which causes the gunship to appear when you go through it must be set up to only trigger when you drive through it in the jeep.
5 of 9: Getting the idea yet?
6 of 9: What if you just shoved the jeep down the road ahead of you with the gravity gun instead of driving it?
7 of 9: Then the trigger point wouldn't ever see you driving by in the jeep, and it wouldn't ever bring in the gunship!
8 of 9: The trigger point is just a very short distance past the spot where the road starts curving upward.
9 of 9: You can drive the jeep up near the spot where the road starts curving upward, then get out and shove it ahead of you with the gravity gun until it's way past that spot, then get back in and drive on.
