Half-Life 2 Hints
Where do I go after exiting the train?
1 of 4: Why not follow your two trainmates to see where they go?
2 of 4: They'll move through a large turnstile and on into a waiting room that's next to a security checkpoint.
3 of 4: NOTE: Near the turnstile is a cart of luggage where a citizen is being bullied by a metro cop. You can't really help the citizen, though you can pick up a piece of debris and throw it at the cop to make him mad at you. He'll chase you and whack you with his stun stick, but it won't really hurt you. (If you throw debris at citizens, they'll just complain without doing anything about it.)
4 of 4: NOTE: On your way to the waiting room, you can pick up and throw lots of items and play around with other things, like opening lockers and using soda machines. This'll get you familiar with some of the basic object manipulations that you'll need later on.
