Half-Life 2 Hints
Small Combat Tips
1 of 5: First of all, ignore the gunships flying overhead even if you have some rockets -- they'll just fly on without spotting you.
2 of 5: From the doorway that leads outside, look to the right and pull in one of the explosive barrels with the gravity gun.
3 of 5: Leave the doorway and strafe to the right until you can see the sentry gun that's up at the top of the stairs.
4 of 5: Throw the explosive barrel you have at the sentry to knock it over, then quickly pick up and throw the other two explosive barrels at the doors up there to finish off the soldiers that come out.
5 of 5: If it's too hard to knock over the sentry gun with an explosive barrel, you can instead use a frag grenade while standing in a spot where the sentry can't see you. (The nearby supply crate has frag grenades in it to resupply from, anyway.)
