Half-Life 2 Hints
Final Combat Tips
1 of 5: Two more Combine elite will drop down onto their favorite upper walkway as you climb this last ladder.
2 of 5: So drop down off the ladder as soon as you hear glass breaking and run deal with these two using the usual tactics.
3 of 5: After you climb the ladder and start exploring either of the two walkways it leads to, the doors in the back of a small balcony on a slightly lower level will open and two soldiers will run through.
4 of 5: Quickly shoot those soldiers down to finally clear the pump station of enemy presence.
5 of 5: NOTE: The balcony they appear on is the one you could have been on and reset the hopper on earlier if you'd used the alternate way of getting across the top of the cargo lift tracks. If so, the hopper may kill one or both soldiers for you.
