Half-Life 2 Hints
Skybridge Combat Tips
1 of 8: As soon as the mesh barrier on your end of the bridge rises up, rush over and rocket the soldiers who are in the process of crossing the bridge.
2 of 8: By this time, several resistance members sent through by Barney will have shown up to help you.
3 of 8: Let them cluster around your end of the bridge and shoot at soldiers while you fire rockets over their heads and direct them to impact at the other end of the bridge.
4 of 8: When you're out of rockets, run to the infinite rocket crate to get more, then return to the bridge and blow up some more soldiers.
5 of 8: None of the soldiers after the first few should even try to cross the bridge, so let them cluster up on the other side to make each rocket hit count for more!
6 of 8: NOTE: Big clusters of soldiers are also great targets for pulse rifle energy orbs, and there'll be plenty lying around after you kill off several Combine elite with rockets or other means. (Remember that anyone who's disintegrated by an energy orb doesn't drop any weapons for you to pick up.)
7 of 8: When the soldiers stop appearing at the other end of the bridge, get out the pulse rifle and charge across.
8 of 8: Shoot any soldiers in the corner just past the bridge, then fire an energy orb or two into the next room when you hear soldiers approaching.
