Half-Life 2 Hints

Section 3: Tenement Buildings (d1_trainstation_03)

  • 1 of 7: There isn't much on the ground floor of the building you're in except an elevator you can't get into and an exit door you can't open, so head up the stairs.
  • 2 of 7: On the second floor, you can witness cops conducting a raid, and you can look into several other rooms to find a bunch of depressed and frightened citizens.
  • 3 of 7: NOTE: You can have fun picking up TVs and throwing them at windows to break both the TVs and the windows.
  • 4 of 7: Unfortunately, the stairs leading up from the second floor are blocked by a cop.
  • 5 of 7: Soon after you start up the unblocked stairs, cops will raid and block the entire second floor.
  • 6 of 7: Up on the third floor, most passages are blocked, but one guy in an open doorway gets your attention and asks you to enter his room.
  • 7 of 7: When you do, a timed sequence begins in which you have to run away from cops whose stun sticks are on the lethal setting.
