Half-Life 2 Hints
Section 6: Train Bridge (d2_coast_08)
1 of 9: The first thing you'll come to is a room with an infinite RPG ammo crate. Refill on rockets here if you need to.
2 of 9: Head up the stairs on the left to find more health and armor items, plus a good view of the bridge's understructure.
3 of 9: You're going to need to make your way carefully along the understructure's girders and broken catwalks to reach the other side. There are different routes you can take, but I'll only describe the one I found to be easiest.
4 of 9: Explore around the upstairs area on the other side to find a supply crate on a catwalk and some health packs on a table, then head down the stairs.
5 of 9: The path from here to the control room you seek is just one big, long combat with Combine soldiers.
6 of 9: That last room you found soldiers in is the force field control room for the bridge's train tracks, but you can't reach the controls due to a force field.
7 of 9: Before you use the little red-light-green-light panel on the wall near the window to shut off the bridge's force fields, look around in the control room and the other rooms you've recently passed through for supplies. You'll need 'em!
8 of 9: After you finish off the gunship, carefully make your way back across the bridge's girder support structure, gathering leftover supplies as you go.
9 of 9: When you go for the door that leads back to the grassy cliffside path near the houses, you'll return to Section 5: Clifftop Lookout. (And from there, you can eventually exit to the next chapter.)
