Half-Life 2 Hints
Soldier Combat Tips
1 of 6: As soon as you get to the second shed's platform, run inside the shed for cover.
2 of 6: Then use the gravity gun to pull the loose rockets next to the infinite rocket crate in through the doorway and set them down in the back of the shed. This is to make sure you don't accidentally pick them up while resupplying at the rocket crate. Trust me, these loose rockets will come in handy later on.
3 of 6: Use the cover of the shed to shoot the soldiers from the doorway. The pistol or .357 Magnum would work best.
4 of 6: You could try to rocket the soldiers with the RPG, but you'd probably take too much damage while aiming and then waiting for the rocket to hit.
5 of 6: After the soldiers are down, use the RPG on the barnacle that's hanging over the girders just ahead.
6 of 6: Resupply at the rocket crate (*not* the loose rockets) before moving on.
