Half-Life 2 Hints
How can I get to that all-important crate?
1 of 16: After you exit the building, walk over to the nearby open Combine gate.
2 of 16: Then sprint straight ahead and up the ramp to the big front porch of the building to the right.
3 of 16: The only way to get past the burning tree and other wreckage that's in front of the building is to drop off the far side of the building's front porch.
4 of 16: Hide behind the APC down there until your auxiliary power recharges. Also, check just behind the APC for several health packs.
5 of 16: Next, run into the huge torn-out chunk of ground and find the tunnel with health packs in it.
6 of 16: A strider may be walking past at the other end of the tunnel. If so, just wait for it to keep on walking.
7 of 16: When it's gone, exit the tunnel and climb up the steep rubble on the left to get back onto the ground.
8 of 16: Turn left and run for an open doorway that has a bunch of white graffiti on the wall just to the right of it.
9 of 16: This is a good area to take cover in and start shooting striders from since there are two spare RPGs lying around to resupply from.
10 of 16: TIP: Stand next to the doorway you came in through for cover and shoot rockets through the doorway when it's safe. That'll keep the striders from shooting you through the room's many windows.
11 of 16: When you've used up all the spare rockets, run out the doorway and make a dash for the small concrete bunker that's straight ahead and past a small bit of rubble.
12 of 16: The bunker also has a couple of spare RPGs, and maybe a live resistance member with another RPG, so put all that to good use against any striders still striding around.
13 of 16: It should be pretty easy to temporarily clear the courtyard of striders before you leave the bunker.
14 of 16: Run out the bunker's other side and go between the park benches on the right.
15 of 16: Move past the left end of a huge rubble pile to approach a damaged building.
16 of 16: Look around in the narrow passageway between the building and the huge rubble pile to find the infinite rocket crate plus some other useful supplies.
