Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
How do I get through the first scenario?
1 of 7: Two fans, known as Fan Unit 1 and Fan Unit 2, dominate an entire room.
2 of 7: You cannot walk on the floor as the fan blades cover nearly all of the ground. Death is certain if you step foot on the ground.
3 of 7: Therefore, you need to figure out a smarter way around the fans.
4 of 7: Both fan structures have two intersecting beams overtop of them. You can safely walk along these beams as they are above the fan blades.
5 of 7: You will have to concentrate as the fans will jostle you a bit.
6 of 7: When you get into position, you will have to jump from Fan Unit 1's beams to Fan Unit 2's beams.
7 of 7: From there you can walk across, out of this fan unit room, and onto the catwalks.
