Half-Life 2 Hints
Drive Around Strategy
1 of 8: When you first approach the large broken bridge, go under the leftmost part of it.
2 of 8: Drive along to the left of the large central pond until you can turn right just past an APC.
3 of 8: There'll be two Combine soldiers just ahead that you can run over, but you don't need to kill them both -- the antlions will soon finish off the ones you don't get.
4 of 8: When you're past the soldiers, turn right and head along the opposite side of the pond, going back toward the big bridge.
5 of 8: Loop around again to get to where you can use the jeep's tau cannon to fire at the soldier who's up on the wooden walkways near the thumper.
6 of 8: It's hard, but you can shoot him down with the tau cannon without stopping or slowing the jeep much. If necessary, make multiple loops around the large pond.
7 of 8: Or for this third soldier, you can switch to using the Get Wet Strategy, since he's very easy to shoot down using that strategy.
8 of 8: After those three soldiers are dead, drive over to the thumper and get it turned on.
