Half-Life 2 Hints
Soldier Combat Tips
1 of 6: If you run through the wall hole that leads into the building fast enough, you'll be able to quickly kill the three soldiers who come in through the doorway ahead all at once with an SMG grenade or a thrown explosive barrel.
2 of 6: Otherwise, get out the pulse rifle and use the pillars for cover while shooting the soldiers.
3 of 6: When they're dead, look around for supply crates as well as annoying scanners to smash for armor batteries.
4 of 6: Go through the doorway the soldiers came through and head up the stairs to find two more soldiers to deal with.
5 of 6: As soon as one of those soldiers sees you, run all the way back down the stairs.
6 of 6: Stand at the bottom of the first set of stairs and double-barrel the soldiers as they run into view.
