Half-Life 2 Hints
Soldier Combat Tips
1 of 8: Again, start by telling your squad to stay back a ways for their own safety.
2 of 8: The first guy to take down is on an upper ledge of the house with the red shingles that you can see a ways to the left of the raised bridge.
3 of 8: Move to where you can shoot him through the doorway with the .357, then do so as many times as is necessary to kill him, switching to the gravity gun to field any grenades he throws.
4 of 8: Move out to where several other soldiers on nearby rooftops and ledges can see you, then quickly run back inside and slide down to the bottom of the rubble.
5 of 8: You should hear the sounds of some of the resistance members you passed by on your way here firing at the soldiers. If so, wait under cover until the sounds stop.
6 of 8: Climb back up the rubble until you're at a window that you can use to help you shoot any remaining soldiers on the ledge and rooftop over to the right. (This is a good spot because of the cover and because it's very hard for them to get grenades through that window.)
7 of 8: Once they're down, go outside through the door near the bottom of the rubble and scan the rooftops for leftover soldiers.
8 of 8: If there are any, let your squad shoot them while you concentrate on repelling any grenades the soldiers throw.
