Half-Life 2 Hints
Combat Tips
1 of 4: The best thing to do is exit the crane's control booth as soon as you see the building's front door slide open.
2 of 4: Equip the pistol and wait for the soldiers to run out, then blow up an explosive barrel that's near several of them.
3 of 4: Then pick off the survivors with well-aimed pistol shots.
4 of 4: ALTERNATIVE: You could stay in the crane's control booth and use the crane to swing a large metal container into the soldiers, but this is much harder to pull off.
