Half-Life 2 Hints
Noncombative Strategy
1 of 6: Go as close as you can to the catwalk you're aiming for without dropping to the floor.
2 of 6: Turn your flashlight on and scan around to see that there's a small rickety-looking catwalk segment between the one you're on and the one you're trying to get to.
3 of 6: You can jump to the small segment from up on the railing of the part you're on.
4 of 6: However, quicksave first -- the segment you're jumping to is very unstable and will start falling over as soon as you land on it.
5 of 6: You'll need to quickly run and jump from it to the goal segment before you get dumped on the floor.
6 of 6: If you do fall to the floor, run like crazy for the nearby stairs (or do a quickrestore and try again).
