Half-Life 2 Hints
What's the standard strategy?
1 of 5: As always, keep moving quickly and use cover to your advantage.
2 of 5: This chopper has a ridiculous number of irritating little bombs to drop, so be careful of those. You can shoot them out with the gauss gun, or you can just wait them out after they drop.
3 of 5: A good rule to use is: if the chopper is firing at you, keep following it and firing at it -- if the chopper is dropping mines ahead of you, stop and shoot at it. In any case, keep shooting that chopper!
4 of 5: One final thing to watch out for is the *huge* number of bombs that the chopper constantly drops after it's badly damaged.
5 of 5: You don't want to be in front of it or behind it when it's doing that -- try instead to be a ways off to the side so you can shoot it relatively safely.
