Half-Life 2 Hints
Section 5: Big Manhack Attack and Radioactive Tunnel (d3_c17_06a)
1 of 12: Go down some dark stairs to emerge near one end of a rubble-clogged freeway tunnel.
2 of 12: A couple dozen manhacks will take advantage of the tunnel's ceiling holes to buzz you and your squad as you move down the tunnel.
3 of 12: When the manhacks are all destroyed, move down the tunnel to reach a debris-clogged area.
4 of 12: TIP: There are two pulse rifles on the ground near the beginning of the debris area, so stand there and wait a bit if any of your team members are still using SMGs.
5 of 12: Work your way around the debris until you reach a locked fence door behind a large tanker truck.
6 of 12: Break open the supply crate past the door, then head down to an open doorway and prepare to destroy some more manhacks, followed by a tough mounted gun area manned by cops.
7 of 12: Find the three supply crates at the other end of the little hallway you're in, then turn right after you exit it to find a cozy little niche area near a rubble "wall." The niche has health packs, frag grenades, and a pulse rifle.
8 of 12: When you're done there, run down to the mounted gun area and take cover from strider fire.
9 of 12: Check around behind the mounted guns to find some supplies and a fellow resistance member who's willing to help you get through the rubble and into his area.
10 of 12: As soon as he says he's going to plant some charges, get ready for a big Combine soldier and manhack attack.
12 of 12: Wait for your squad to rejoin you (they may be out shooting at soldiers), then head up the stairs past the door you just opened to get to Section 6: Running Around Through Buildings.
