Half-Life 2 Hints
Building Combat Tips
1 of 3: You could run for the jeep and use the tau cannon to blast the soldiers (or drive in and run them over).
2 of 3: But you'll probably take less damage if you hide around the corner of the building and shoot soldiers with the Magnum or pulse rifle as they come out after you.
3 of 3: And watch out for their hand grenades! If you see one land near you, either run away from it or *very* quickly pick it up with the gravity gun and throw it toward a soldier.
