Half-Life 2 Hints
Soldier Combat Tips
1 of 7: Looking around the path to the gate, you should spot two unset hoppers.
2 of 7: Set them up along the path the soldiers will have to take to get to you.
3 of 7: If you brought any unused hoppers with you from the EXIT corridor in the previous chapter section, bring them all out onto the first roof segment before you trigger the gunship's appearance, then quickly set them up right after the gunship's destroyed.
4 of 7: Once all your hoppers are set, go stand at the bottom of the nearby stairs with the RPG ready.
5 of 7: Rocket the first few soldiers to get past the hoppers, then run for the rocket crate and refill.
6 of 7: Or run for the stairwell and stand in the corner past its door, waiting for soldiers to come in and get double-barreled.
7 of 7: If you carefully hid any surviving squad members from the gunship, you can send them out to fight these soldiers while you hide.
