Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I kill off this sniper?
1 of 4: With grenades, as usual.
2 of 4: Tell your squad to stay put right before the point where they'd come under fire from the sniper, then run and duck your way over to the infinite frag grenade crate.
3 of 4: Fill up on grenades while crouched, then crouch-walk over to the twisted remains of the big window nearby so that you're facing the sniper's window without him being able to get a clear shot at you.
4 of 4: Keep throwing frag grenades at the sniper's window and filling up at the crate until you get one in and kill the sniper.
