Half-Life 2 Hints
NOTES
1 of 4: If you just do this and totally skip all the other areas, you'll be passing up your first chance to get a .357 Magnum.
2 of 4: So you should move on past the gate control area to get to a few things, like health and armor rechargers plus a Magnum on the floor further on. You'll only have to deal with a few cops along the way.
3 of 4: That also goes for the padlocked door and the room beyond it if you'd rather go get your Magnum that way.
4 of 4: Just don't go past the "trigger point" that activates the chopper, or it'll harass you for the rest of this chapter section.
