Half-Life 2 Hints
Cop Combat Tips
1 of 5: Have your SMG ready and run for the generator control area (it's straight ahead and on the other side of the big fountain) when you exit the building.
2 of 5: SMG the cop near the controls to death, then switch to the gravity gun to deal with the manhack that he releases.
3 of 5: Then switch to the pistol and help your squad shoot down the cop who's way up high on the nearby lookout tower.
4 of 5: Another cop will appear at a window high above the doorway that leads back into the building after Alyx gets set at the generator controls.
5 of 5: Let your team deal with him and any manhacks he releases while you rush around and finish up other preparations.
