Half-Life 2 Hints
Gunship Avoiding Tips
1 of 8: When you reach the spot around the bend where the wrecked cars totally block the road, stop the jeep and get out.
2 of 8: Quickly use the gravity gun's regular-fire mode to blast junk out of the road in front of you.
3 of 8: You may have to take cover periodically and/or pick up health kits to avoid getting killed.
4 of 8: Or instead of that, you can actually ram through the debris with the jeep if you're careful (and lucky).
5 of 8: Quicksave your game as you approach the debris in case you have to try again, then steer to the right around the first two car wrecks in the road.
6 of 8: At the main blockage site, hit the little blue car that's just to the right of the white van head-on.
7 of 8: You may be able to push it and the remaining wreckage out of your way without stopping. If not, back up a short way and then try again (using turbo may help).
8 of 8: This is a tough stunt to pull off, but if you manage it, you can make it to the next chapter section quickly and with little damage.
