Half-Life 2 Hints
Section 1: New Vehicle, New Enemies (d2_coast_01)
1 of 8: Go through the door ahead of you to get out onto the pier where your new mode of transportation is waiting for you.
2 of 8: After getting some health from the crate on the right if you need it, run over to the jeep and get into it.
3 of 8: The crane operator will attempt to lower the jeep gently to the ground, but the magnet will fail and you'll fall and overturn right in the middle of a group of antlions.
4 of 8: Drive the jeep away from the pier and along the dark-colored path that leads to the right until you come to a spot where you can drive up a steep incline onto higher ground. (You'll have to be going fairly fast to make it up the incline.)
5 of 8: Past the incline, you're safe from the antlions for now, so stop the jeep and save your game if you didn't get too badly torn up (or restore an earlier save and try again if you did).
6 of 8: Just ahead is a bridge with a large gap in it that you need to somehow get across.
