Half-Life 2 Hints
Mounted Gun Tips
1 of 5: First of all, quickly take cover to avoid being shredded by machine gun fire.
2 of 5: The most obvious way to handle this problem is to lob a few grenades at the cop.
3 of 5: Even if they don't kill him, they'll motivate him to move away from the mounted gun, making it safer for you to charge him. (And you can always restock on grenades right afterwards.)
4 of 5: Another way to handle it is to approach the mounted gun while hiding behind cover.
5 of 5: You could pick up a barrel and move forward while holding it in front of you, or you could push the red flatbed cart along ahead of you. (Remember to crouch while doing either one of these to minimize yourself as a target.)
