Half-Life 2 Hints
Supply Note
1 of 6: Going through the doorway that leads outside does more than just enable a sniper to shoot at you -- it also starts a timer for the big moving Combine wall that's at the dead end to the right.
2 of 6: There are some supplies next to a body at that dead end. Specifically, an armor battery, a bundle of crossbow ammo, and a pulse rifle energy orb.
3 of 6: In order to get those supplies and get away alive, you have to run straight for them the instant you first pass through the doorway that leads outside.
4 of 6: As soon as you get the goods, turn around and run straight back for the doorway you came out of.
5 of 6: If you're fast enough, you'll avoid being crushed by the Combine wall or being shot by the sniper.
6 of 6: Actually, you could wait until after you finish off the first sniper or two, then come back and crouch-walk through a spot near the right side of the Combine wall and reach the supplies that way. Safe and easy!
