Half-Life 2 Hints
Section 2: Meet Your New Squad (d3_c17_03)
1 of 5: When you emerge outside, two of the new Type II scanners will fly by you and get shot down by a resistance member.
2 of 5: TIP: If you need armor, save your game before going outside and restore if you don't get any armor batteries from these scanners.
3 of 5: After both scanners are toast, the guy will join you and you'll get a squad display near the bottom right corner of the screen.
4 of 5: Head down the alley and make your way back to the train station plaza you were at way back in Chapter 1.
5 of 5: You'll find three more resistance members there who will join your squad after they finish pulling down Breen's giant blither-blather screen.
