Half-Life 2 Hints
Just Using Cover
1 of 11: Your next goal is to make it to the blue-and-white truck that's in the middle of the street ahead and crouch behind it.
2 of 11: It's just about impossible to make the run there directly from the corner with the "Nevrin 54" sign without getting shot even once.
3 of 11: So first run for the small alcove that's a little further down the wall.
4 of 11: The second sniper will see you when you do that, so scrunch yourself into either corner of the alcove to avoid being shot.
5 of 11: Right after the second sniper fires, run for the truck and crouch down near its back end.
6 of 11: Then run for the nearby wall alcove that has a supply crate in it.
7 of 11: Use the gravity gun to blast away the green dumpster that's kind of in the way, then make a run for the second truck.
8 of 11: Crouching behind it, you're safe from both snipers' fire.
9 of 11: Quicksave your game, then try tossing frag grenades over the truck and into the first sniper's window.
10 of 11: That's very hard to do, but it's the only way to take that sniper out without getting shot.
11 of 11: You could run for the wall just below his window, but he'll almost certainly get you at least once on the way.
