Half-Life 2 Hints
When I turned the bridge force fields off, a gunship showed up!
1 of 5: Confucius never say: "When gunship show up, it time for showdown." (But it's true anyway.)
2 of 5: The room directly below the control room (the one with a doorway that leads back outside to the upper catwalk) is an ideal place to blast the gunship from since it will fly very close to that doorway, and you've got plenty of cover since the windows can't be shot out.
3 of 5: However, there's no rocket ammo nearby, so you've only got the three rockets in your RPG. Unless you're playing on Easy difficulty, that's not going to be enough.
4 of 5: Easy players should save their game and then take down the gunship with three rockets. If you miss with even one rocket, restore and try again.
5 of 5: Normal and Hard players (and Easy players who for some reason don't have three rockets) will have to choose one of three other strategies.
