Half-Life 2 Hints
Where can I go from the starting outdoor area?
1 of 7: You need to find a building you can enter (besides the one you came through to get here).
2 of 7: Look toward the back, near where the two explosive barrels are (or were, if you used them).
3 of 7: To the left of them is a supply shed with two boarded-over doors.
4 of 7: Fortunately, these boards are weak enough to be smashed by your crowbar or yanked off by your gravity gun.
5 of 7: Once inside, look around. There's a lot of good stuff in here, including large saw blades that you can hurl at zombies with the gravity gun to cut them in half, plus lots of small explosive gas canisters that you can throw with the gravity gun to set enemies on fire. This is gonna be a fun town!
6 of 7: When you're ready to move on, find the doorway in the back of the shed that's blocked by a table and two saw blades stuck in the walls.
7 of 7: You can move or bash the table and then crouch-walk under the saw blades, or you can grab a blade with the gravity gun and go over the table.
