Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get past the bent section of fencing?
1 of 6: WARNING: Two more cops will appear on the other side of the tracks as you approach the dead end. You'll need to deal with them before trying to get over the fence.
2 of 6: There are a couple of barrels standing right next to the bent part of the fence.
3 of 6: You can jump onto a barrel and then over the bent fencing.
4 of 6: Or you could just take a running jump at the lowest part of the bent fencing to hop over it.
5 of 6: WARNING: Several cops will appear in a gap in the blue wall on the other side of the tracks soon after you're over the fence. Use your pistol to shoot 'em in the head! (Or wait until you're in a better position to shoot them -- see the link below.)
6 of 6: TIP: Carry a barrel with you as you go over the bent fencing. You can hold the barrel in front of you for cover as you move along, plus you can set it down and use it to jump back over the bent fencing. (That's useful for ammo collecting after you shoot down all the cops across the way.)
