Half-Life Books
There are some Soldiers to your left and right, side step out left and take out the one there with the Crossbow then quickly turn and get the other one. Hopefully you shouldn't take much or no damage. There are more Soldiers hiding in the tunnel straight ahead though they of come out when they heard gunfire. Entice them out near the barrels and when they get close to them shoot the barrels. The barrels will explode killing the Soldiers. Now grab the ammo they dropped and the First Aid kits lying about, and continue down the tunnel. You will come to an opening sneak out and have a look but don't get too close for the helicopter patrolling the dam will start firing at you. Now you can't run across the dam because there is one helluva big machine gun on the other side, that leaves only the water below. Ready your Crossbow because your gonna need it. Once the chopper has passed the water run and jump into the water. There is an Ichthysaur in the water so kill him then swim over to the structure in the water and climb the ladder. Go into the building and press the button. Jump back into the water and swim down to the valve, turn and swim through the now opened grate and you will come out on the other side. Grab some air then stay underwater to avoid the chopper, only coming up for air when you need to.

On the rock to your left is some HEV power, wait for the chopper to go before getting it though. Follow the water and climb up the ladder at the other end then quickly into the pipe to avoid be shot by the chopper. At the end of the pipe shoot the Headcrabs coming out of the small cave in the side of the cliff then run in and grab the First Aid kit. Run back tot eh boxes and break them open to get the ammo then climb up the ladder. Follow the ledge around and then up the second ladder. The chopper is still flying about so stay low. The rocks to your left hide a passage that you need to get to. When the chopper flys past run over there and through the passage (there may be a Houndeye depending on whether the chopper has already killed it). You will come to an open area with a Tentacle in the middle. Just in front of you the sand will bulge, there is a Headcrab in the bulge so kill it. If you want you can throw Grenades to distract the Tentacle then run over and grab the goodies it is protecting or you can go up the rocks in front of you and head down the passage to the minefield area.

At the minefields, throw Grenades to explode the mines. Head right to the sign that reads "MINES" then turn and go up the wall and down the small passage here. You will see a small building. There are Soldiers hiding around here so be careful. Run out and kill the Soldiers by moving about and using the MP5 if you have ammo for it. When they are dead grab their ammo then go into the building and turn the valve. This will open the Storm Drain Hatch. Go back to where you came through the passage and back to the mines. You need to get to the Storm Drain Hatch, it is roughly in the middle and straight up. You can jump the fence by doing a running jump from the little hill. Climb down the ladder.

It's a long way down so don't fall. There is a turret on your right, kill that then snipe the Soldier on the level beneath it. Now slowly move forward and kill the Soldier directly below you. Drop down and follow the ledge and kill the Soldier hiding in the small cave. Slide down the pipe and kill the Soldiers there. Then go right and jump the bridge to get the HEV power. Then half walk and half jump the bridge ( jump off the bridge as it starts to collapse). Once back at the pipe follow the ledge around and you will come to cave with some metal doors and a single Soldier guarding this supply bunker. Kill the Soldier and go through the doors. Grab the Rocket Launcher or RPG as some call it ( Rocket Propelled Grenade) and go back through the doors. The Apache helicopter will return but this time do we have something it won't suspect! Use the RPG to take out the Apache and watch it explode!

NOTE: You must keep the laser sight on your target for the rocket to hit the target

Once the Apache is gone continue along the ledge and climb up the ladder. Walk up the ramp made of rocks and jump across the ledges. Climb up the next ladder once your up there and head for the storm drain. There are Headcrabs here so be prepared to tackle a few of these little buggers. Climb into the drain and follow it through till you get to an T-Section. Go left ( it doesn't really matter which way you go you end up in the same area, but for now go left) and climb the ladder but only stick your head out a little bit and pull out the Crossbow and snipe as many Soldiers as you can before they realise that they are being picked off faster than ducks in the hunting season. Once they see where you are get out of the ladder hole your in and duck behind the barricade. Use the MP5 now. Keep moving in the little space your in but don't go any further. There is a Tank just ahead and it is a fully functioning Tank. Once the Soldiers are dead you need to get past the Tank. Run at it, strafing as to dodge the projectiles it's firing. Once behind it you are temporarily safe but there is another Soldier in the small repair bays. Kill him then run over there and grab his ammo and use the health dispenser if you need to. Search the crates then go round behind the Tank and place a Satchel Charge underneath it. Retire to a safe distance then explode it. It takes two or three Charges till it eventually explodes.

Think your safe? Well your not so don't relax just yet. There is a smaller but quicker Tank in this area. Use the crates as protection, but the won't last long so get as close as you can to the hole in the wall then jump through. There are numerous Soldiers below so use the Crossbow to snipe the visible ones then jump down there and use the MP5 to kill the rest. Search the crates and grab the ammo the Soldiers dropped then make your way back up to the hole. You can kill this Tank but you can just run for the door and get through it before the Tank has time to react or you can place three or four Satchel Charges under it to kill it.

Once through doors and Alien Flying Machine will drop an Alien Grunt and an Alien Slave, then quickly go as the F-16 is right behind it. Kill the Slave and Grunt then head right and go down along side the building. Jump onto the girder and over the Trip Mine then watch out for the debris of the building as parts of it crash to the ground then jump the blue lasers here. In the window on the left is a manned gun, lob in a Grenade to kill the gunner then proceed to the dying guard. Becareful for there are Mines where the sand is so shoot the ground with the Pistol or use Grenades to clear them out. At the barbed wire turn around a lob another Grenade into the window to kill the gunner of another manned gun. There are a few more mines so be careful, now crawl under the barbed wire and shoot the canisters. Good now we have a walkway up to the roof.

Once on the roof find the opening and drop down. Talk to the Scientist and head out in the hallway. Be very, very careful, if you set off just one Trip Mine it will start a chain reaction setting off a highly explosive missile ( this missile can be seen in the intro to the game). In the room across the hallway there are some Laser Trip Mines. Jump the first laser then push the box close enough to the next one so that you can jump onto the box and then over the Mine. Do the same for the next then head down the descending ramp. Jump the mine here and quickly shoot the Headcrabs before they set off the Trip Mines. Where the elevator is against the wall near the control booth ( not the elevator in the middle of the room) shoot the box on it and then push a box just ahead of this elevator to edge of the middle elevator. Follow the hallway into the control booth ducking under the laser as you go. Kill the Headcrab and jump the beam. Press the button and jump onto the elevator. Jump from here onto the box and then onto the elevator. Press the button and ride the elevator down.

Grab the Hornet gun at the bottom and search the crates for ammo. Walk a little into the hallway and a guard will come screaming down the hallway at you with Soldiers in hot pursuit. Well lets test this new gun, it requires no ammo as it replenishes its ammo automatically. Just aim in the general direction and shoot. Be careful at what you shoot at though, the hallway is littered with explosive objects. Kill the Soldiers and then is the Guard is still alive get him to accompany you. Keep going until you get to the truck. Run up the ramp and when the Grunts see you run straight back down again and hide. Some Military aircraft have begun bombing this area and they will kill the Grunts for you. When they are dead search the crates and go up the ramp and have a look. A Tank has smashed through the wall bringing Soldiers. The best way to kill them is to get their attention then run back down into the underground storage room and wait for them to come after you, then kill them. When they are dead run out and head for the alley to the right of the Tank. Zigzagging is a good method to get there. On the wall facing the alley is a window housing another manned gun. Throw in a Grenade to kill him. Go through the door and kill the two Soldiers there and go upstairs. Talk to the Security Guard and he will open a locked door. WHOA! Now this is paradise. Run and grab everything. You should now be stocked to the gills. Now climb out the window and onto the small ledge. Follow it around and jump onto the power box. Then jump from here to the power box just ahead, then from there to the fire escape. Climb onto the roof of the building. Look into the ruined building, see the doorway that's where you need to be. There are several Soldiers down below you so throw one Grenade down there to entice them out, then kill them. When they are dead walk down the small ledge next to the wooden plank, then jump from here to the platform ahead, and then to the doorway.

You will come to a large landing area. Run over to the little room to your right and wait. A plane will drop some Soldiers and some Alien Grunts will burst through the big hangar door to your right. Watch the battle and kill the survivors. Now make your way to where the Alien Grunts burst through and go down the passage, kill the Grunt and open the door at the end of the passage. Go find the Security Guard that opened the supply room for you and get him to open the other door in the passage. Run in and use the health dispenser or HEV power dispenser if you need then hurry up the steps. Open the door and use the artillery gun to blow open the second hangar door. Hurry to that door now. By now the plane would of dropped lots more Soldiers, you can run up through the hangar ( the which you just blew open) or you can kill the Soldiers and take some damage then run up through he hangar. (I prefer the run as fast as you can method myself)

You will come to a wide passage and an open area. Use the Machine Gun to mow down the Slaves. When they are dead use the bounce pad to get you up to the second floor. Proceed to your right and look down at the Soldiers battling the Grunt and Slave, stay low till either one is dead then mop up the survivors. Search the crates then break into the vents. Just ahead at the corner several snarks will burst out and chase you. You can run back down the vent and run around outside till they explode or you can drop a Satchel Charge and explode it as they come down the vent after you. When they are dead follow the vent until you hear a Soldier say he heard something, then backup immediately. They will shoot a hole in the vent (right where you were, funny that). sneak up to the hole and drop in some snarks to kill the Soldiers below. Drop down the hole and grab their ammo.

Just outside are two Soldiers waiting for you. When you open the door one throws a grenade at you, which explodes the boxes, which cause a support beam to come down and block the door way. But if you are quick enough you can jump the box and kill the two Soldiers before it explodes. But if you do get stuck in the room don't worry there is another way out. Press the buttons to bring the car hoist down, then press the button on the back and jump onto it, When it starts to rise jump through the hole in the wall and kill the Soldiers.

Use the artillery gun to blow off the door and then use it to kill the three Alien Grunts. Once they are dead head into the hallway. You will come to a large room with a battle in progress. Kill the survivors and then climb down there and grab the ammo. Go through the door in the corner to find a supply room. Take the ammo and HEV power, then exit the room and climb back up to the cat walk. Jump the gap and continue on through the hallway. A Soldier will be thrown through the wall by an Alien Grunt. You can't see him yet so throw a Satchel Charge in through the hole and detonate it to kill him. Continue on.

Around the corner you will encounter another battle. Kill any survivors and snipe the Soldier on the roof. When they are all dead drop down onto the crates below. Search the crates then use the bounce pad to get you onto the roof. Break the grate and drop into the water. Get into the pipe and slowly go forwards. About halfway through a Soldier will open the door at the other end and throw in a Grenade. Now start going backward towards the water, hurry! The Grenade will explode and the explosion will carry on through the pipe. Get under the water as quickly as possible. You shouldn't take much or no damage as the flames shoot out of the pipe above. Get back into the pipe and get ready to kill bugger that just did that to you. Open the door and kill the Soldier. Hah he won't be doing that for a while.

In the next room there is a large pipe set in the middle of the room. Below you there are some Soldiers fighting off a horde of Headcrabs. Watch the battle and kill any survivors. Also if you need it there is a health dispenser down there. Follow the catwalk and turn the valve. It will open up one of the pipes, when it is open get into the pipe and climb the ladder. Follow the pipe and drop down to the stairs. Kill the Soldier and then head up the stairs and get the Security Guard to follow you. Head back down the stairs and kill the Soldier. The Guard will open the security door for you. On the roof is an Alien Grunt and a Slave somewhere on the ground, kill the Slave and then snipe the Grunt. Run over to where the bounce pad is and into the control booth. The Security Guard will open the door for you. Head through the door and into the parking lot.

Inside the parking lot is a Gargantua maiming some Soldiers. Run in the opposite direction of the Gargantua and follow the parking lot around. Go up the ramp and use the bounce pad to get over the wall and into the vat of water. Get out of the water and use the bounce pad here to get to the second tower with the airstrike controls ( hmm, sounds like fun!). Listen to the radio and then position the airstrike targeter on the big door near where you had to use the bounce pad to get over the wall. When the Gargantua breaks the door, call in the airstrike and watch him burn! ( it may take one or two strikes to kill him!) Then target the walls to the bunker to your left. Watch them crumble! Now target the bunker doors. Then finally target the tower in front of you. That will crash down making a bridge for you to get to the bunker. Run along the make-shift bridge and jump the small gap onto the other side. Now head into the bunker.
