Half-Life 2 Hints
Command Center Combat Tips
1 of 8: As before, order your team to stand in a safe spot (like at the top of the stairs).
2 of 8: There's a single soldier standing guard near the bottom of the stairs.
3 of 8: Use the pulse rifle on him from halfway down the stairs.
4 of 8: Keep the pulse rifle equipped and open the command center's right door.
5 of 8: Quickly shoot down the soldier you see directly across the room from you, then close the door again.
6 of 8: Back up a bit and get the shotgun ready to double-barrel the soldier who opens the door and comes out.
7 of 8: The third and final soldier should follow the second one out the door and onto the floor. (Love that shotgun!)
8 of 8: NOTES: Alyx may get in the way of your second and third kills -- if so, just let her take them down for you. Also, the third soldier may elect to toss a grenade out the door instead of coming out -- if so, run through the door and shotgun him inside the room.
