Half-Life 2 Hints
How do I get past the barricade?
1 of 8: Examine the barricade carefully.
2 of 8: There's no way the airboat is going around it or through it.
3 of 8: So I guess you'll have to take the airboat over it.
4 of 8: Those boards in the center of the barricade sure look like they form a ramp!
5 of 8: What you need to do is use the ramp to jump over the barricade.
6 of 8: Back up a ways in the airboat, then lean on the gas pedal (the "Move forward" key) while aiming right at the ramp. Whee!
7 of 8: TIP: Before you do your ramp jump, get out on foot and look under the ramp to find a box of SMG ammo.
8 of 8: NOTE: You can get back through the barricade on foot by crouch-walking through a small gap next to the large pipe segment.
