Half-Life 2 Hints
Why are motors attached to wire and pulley systems that raise and drop cars?
1 of 3: That's what cars were made for: crushing zombies.
2 of 3: When several zombies are under a raised car, hit the lever near the car to drop it and crush them.
3 of 3: NOTE: In the past, I've been able to use the cars' shadows on the ground to tell when the zombies are in a good position for smashing, but lately the cars don't seem to have shadows!
