Half-Life 2 Hints
Ambush Tips
1 of 8: First, shoot the two cops that are on a high-up ledge to the left. (Use the explosive barrel up there to help.)
2 of 8: Then move forward to the large overturned truck and watch for a cop to appear on an upper ledge to the right.
3 of 8: Shoot him while he's dropping down so he can't return fire.
4 of 8: Farther ahead is a bridge with several weak-looking wooden supports and several explosive barrels near it.
5 of 8: As you approach it, several cops will appear on the bridge and take up positions.
6 of 8: When they do, quickly shoot one of the explosive barrels twice and then sprint for cover back behind the large overturned truck.
7 of 8: SHORTCUT: If you shoot an explosive barrel near the bridge from a distance without ever approaching the bridge, the bridge cops will never appear.
8 of 8: After scouting around for supplies, some of which are in crates, head forward to the area past the bridge, ready for two last cops to drop down from either side and attack. (Quickly shoot the one on the right first.)
