Half-Life Strategy
STRAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Strafing is very important. Unlike older games, moving to the sides are designated keys. This allows you to evade fire more easily and to be more prepared when attacking.
Long Jump Module - The long jump module, once you acquire it, is key. Use whenever possible. It will give faster movement in order to cover more ground and evade enemy fire. Plus, there are many jumps that cannot be without the long jump module.
Gauss Rifle - By far the best weapon in the game. Illustrated above, it has auwsome capabilities. Using primary trigger, it fires rapid bolts of energy. When alternate fire is used, it charges and releases a blast that will blow up helicopters, destroy turrets, and go through walls. Caution: do not charge for to long or discharge under water.
Ducking - Although it may sound obsurd and just plain dumb, ducking reduces the chances of bullets hitting you.
