Half-Life 2 Hints
Cop Combat Tips
1 of 4: If (like me) you have trouble steering the airboat precisely at high speeds, running over the cops isn't really the best option for you.
2 of 4: Instead, exit the airboat far enough away from them that you can just barely see them in the distance, then shoot them with carefully aimed pistol shots.
3 of 4: If they're far enough away, they won't be able to charge you or return fire.
4 of 4: It takes a bit of pistol ammo, but you can make up for it by getting the pistols that the cops drop (and the pistol ammo in the Secret Area).
