Half-Life 2 Hints
Big Attack Tips
1 of 7: Immediately run back to one of the mounted guns and man it.
2 of 7: Remember that you can shoot through the broken-out windows in the cars. That'll help you take out soldiers who think they're safe behind cover.
3 of 7: Or, alternately, you can use the gravity gun to blast those cars way back down the tunnel before you talk to the guy behind the rubble so that the soldiers will have less cover when they show up.
4 of 7: If you're being swarmed by manhacks, back away from the mounted gun so you can use the gravity gun to knock the manhacks away quickly.
5 of 7: ALTERNATIVE: Instead of going for a mounted gun, you and your squad could take cover in the corner behind the nearby tank and only fight the manhacks that fly over the tank after you. (Note that with this method, it's better to leave the nearby cars where they are rather than blasting them down the tunnel.)
6 of 7: When you hear the charges go off, immediately turn and run through the new hole.
7 of 7: Watch for manhacks and soldiers following you through the new hole, but none probably will.
