Half-Life 2 Hints
Drop-Down Tip
1 of 6: Going through this exit door will drop you down a bit, creating what's apparently meant to be a point of no return.
2 of 6: However, it doesn't have to be that.
3 of 6: Once you're down there, you could set something next to the drop-off so you can jump back up into the shed.
4 of 6: Barrels are really good for this.
5 of 6: If you blew up the explosive barrel that's near the drop-off in order to kill the zombie leaning against it, take an explosive barrel or large piece of furniture with you as you drop down to the street.
6 of 6: Or wait until you come across furniture and barrels in the buildings ahead, then bring one back here.
