Half-Life 2 Hints
Elite Combat Tips
1 of 4: For those who charge you, shoot at them from the side alcove as they run down the rubble. (Use the crossbow if you're good at hitting a moving target with it.)
2 of 4: Or just hide in the alcove and double-barrel the elite as they appear in front of you.
3 of 4: Hopefully, you'll have some squad members left to help you out here.
4 of 4: If any of the three elite stubbornly stay in the store across the street, wait for the strider to stomp off to the right, then run up the rubble and shoot at the store windows briefly with the pulse rifle, then retreat. That should lure them out.
