Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
How do I disarm the bomb?
1 of 5: Disarming the bomb is relatively simple; just run up to it and click your Use button on it. The bomb should be disarmed.
2 of 5: For the moment, anyway.
3 of 5: Look out the window past the security door later to see the Administrator out there fiddling with the bomb.
4 of 5: Don't bother trying to run out there and stop him. He's smart enough to close and lock the gate, which is powerful enough to withstand an infinite number of explosives and bullets. (What construction!)
5 of 5: Mr. Admin is behind the whole plot to erase the "embarrassment" of Black Mesa, and he can't let the likes of you stop him. Just be glad he needs you alive a little longer to destroy the big boss monster at the end of the next level for him. (He's too lazy to do it himself, and apparently doesn't trust the nuke to do it properly.)
