Half-Life 2 Hints
Combat Tips
1 of 6: The first batch of cops will be in the outdoor area with the mounted gun, so rush out there and use the mounted gun against them before they can get close.
2 of 6: TIP: You can avoid these cops appearing at all. Stand in the doorway near the fizzly control wheel and use the pistol to set one of the barrels near the swinging beams aflame, then immediately run through the doorway and jump over the railing to get to the stairs leading up to the other door as fast as you can.
3 of 6: When you reenter the garage, resupply on grenades from the crate in the manhack room, then start lobbing them into the main garage area through the broken windows.
4 of 6: As you head for the exit door, watch out for the cop manning the new mounted machine gun in the corner. (There was a small Combine-style barricade there earlier, but no gun -- they must have brought it with them and set it up.)
5 of 6: After finishing off all the other cops around, approach the corner where you can see the mounted gun by peeking around it, but stay just out of sight.
6 of 6: Lob a grenade so that it bounces off the wall near the exit door and goes off behind the barricade.
