Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
How do I handle the huge shocktrooper and voltigore army?
1 of 7: With an army of your own.
2 of 7: There are three soldiers in the room past the sewers that you can have join you in your fight.
3 of 7: I like to leave them in the room they're in, then go get the nearby troopers and voltigore to see me and follow me in. I then hide behind a box next to the soldier room so that at least one shocktrooper will follow me and get seen by the soldiers.
4 of 7: The voltigore should get stuck in the building's doorway and be an easy target.
5 of 7: After you finish off all the aliens in the nearby area, you have two choices as to how to proceed.
6 of 7: You can go the "right" way, which is through a narrow passage in a big blue box stack and enter another area that's chock full of voltigores and shocktroopers. That's one option.
7 of 7: The other option is to take a short-cut to this area's exit. To do that, find a small passage under a rubble pile next to a long piece of netting just outside the building where you found the three soldiers. Crouch down to go under the rubble, then jump-crouch over a piece to the left to get to the broken Secure Access door that the main route eventually takes you to.
