Half-Life 2 Hints
Side Area Notes
1 of 6: After you shoot the cop, drive over his tire barricade and check the place out.
2 of 6: Drive slowly toward the supply crate you see on the ground near the back of the area.
3 of 6: When the nearby zombie gets up and several headcrabs drop down from a raised ledge, shoot them all to death quickly.
4 of 6: The area is then safe for you to get out and explore on foot. (Love those invisible wind chimes!)
5 of 6: Besides the supply crate near the zombie, there are two more in a small loft on the left that you can climb a ladder to get to.
6 of 6: That's about it, unless you want to go to all the trouble of getting up to an odd little secret area.
