Half-Life 2 Hints
More Soldier Combat Tips
1 of 6: Run ahead of Alyx and toss bugbait at the opening to the right of the closed double doors as a couple of soldiers appear there.
2 of 6: Let Alyx shoot them down, then equip your shotgun and follow her up the stairs.
3 of 6: When she runs over to a force field, she'll be taking fire from two different directions.
4 of 6: You should immediately charge or bugbait the soldiers who are behind her (down the corridor to the left).
5 of 6: After they're down, stay under cover while Alyx shoots the soldiers who are on the force field's other side.
6 of 6: That should work, but if she keeps getting killed, you'll need to be more aggressive in helping her with the last few soldiers.
