Half-Life 2 Hints
Barnacle and Zombie Tips
1 of 2: You can just stand aside and let your squad shoot the barnacles for you, but don't let any of them get caught in the long, slurpy tongues.
2 of 2: After killing the barnacle at the entrance to the room with the two floor holes, run straight to the back of the room and then turn around and help your squad shoot down the fast zombie that drops down.
