Half-Life 2 Hints
Soldier Combat Tips
1 of 8: Park the jeep near the two huge rocks that are just to the left of the big tanker truck that's blocking the road.
2 of 8: Then get out on foot and run over toward the big red shed.
3 of 8: As soon as you hear the sound of a Combine dropship flying around, run back to where you left the jeep.
4 of 8: Crouch down next to one of the huge rocks so that it's between you and the red shed -- that way, the dropships won't be able to shoot you as they fly directly overhead.
5 of 8: As soon as the second dropship flies over your position, get in the jeep and back it up a ways.
6 of 8: Be ready to zoom-shoot five Combine soldiers as they appear ahead of you (usually between the two huge rocks left of the tanker truck).
7 of 8: If some of them hang back where you can't shoot them, try driving up to a rock or the tanker truck and then back again. If that doesn't work, get out on foot and move forward cautiously until they see you, then run back for the jeep.
8 of 8: After you get them all, leave the jeep again and check the road just past the tanker truck to find a couple of rollermines that need to be tossed into the ocean.
