Half-Life 2 Hints
Two gunships are attacking at once! How can I take them both down?
1 of 4: That's a lot of firepower! Fortunately, the antlions will be very distracting for the gunships.
2 of 4: NOTE: The first gunship appears when you approach the base of the stairs that lead up from the grassy area to the main yard, and the second gunship appears a short time later (or right after the first gunship is destroyed).
3 of 4: In order to avoid running out of rockets, you need to make a frantic dash across the prison yard and get to an upper floor in the back that has an infinite rocket crate on it.
4 of 4: Of course, there are also lots more Combine soldiers scattered about the yard to make things more difficult. Thankfully, there is a good (though rather lengthy) way to conquer this area.
