Half-Life 2 Hints
What do I do in the security checkpoint?
1 of 6: After winding around through a very small and simple fence maze, you'll end up in an area with four metro cops and two exits.
2 of 6: One cop will move to block the exit that leads up the stairs, so head through the other one.
3 of 6: You'll see a train loading station labeled "Nova Prospekt" ahead, but the door to it will slam shut in your face as you approach.
4 of 6: Wait until a cop comes through a nearby door and orders you to go with him.
5 of 6: Follow him along until he ushers you into a private room with another cop in it.
6 of 6: He dismisses that cop and then reveals that he's none other than Barney Calhoun from the Blue Shift game. What a reunion!
