Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
And then get some extra snarks, if you want to. Here's how.
1 of 9: There are two chairs in the control room that are easy to break, so make sure you don't break them if you want to get to the snarks.
2 of 9: Look around up near the ceiling until you find an open vent with a red glow beyond it.
3 of 9: You can see it from down on the lower floor, near the desk with one of the two chairs in front of it.
4 of 9: You can't push that chair around yet for some reason, so go up the ramp and get the chair up there.
5 of 9: Push it down to where you can jump onto it, then onto the two differently-sized computers near the vent, and then climb into the vent itself.
6 of 9: As soon as you enter the vent, exit it again quickly and run for the door, since a bunch of live snarks will appear and come after you.
7 of 9: Wait in the elevator until they all expire, then go back into the control room.
8 of 9: They probably broke your push-chair as they jumped out of the vent. If they did, push the one at the desk over in order to get back up into the vent.
9 of 9: Then grab the snark packs and continue on with the game.
