Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints

How do I cross the open furnace pipes/vents?

  • 1 of 5: The pipes and vents from the furnace are shooting bursts of flames. Obviously, these flamebursts can kill you.
  • 2 of 5: Luckily, the bursts occur at regular intervals.
  • 3 of 5: Wait until the flamebursts have slightly dissipated before you try to jump or run across.
  • 4 of 5: The flames do not have to be entirely gone to successfully cross particular areas, but do wait for the flames to be as weak as possible.
  • 5 of 5: One of the areas you must cross never fully clears of flames. It is just a matter of timing your jump or run in order to minimize your health loss.
