I bought the Orange Box a couple of weeks ago and been stuck to Team Fortress 2 (it's amazing :O ). I decided today to try out the rest of the stuff on there and of course, began with Half - Life 2. I am saddened to say that I am stuck on the second level escaping from the Combine I'm ashamed of myself and now trying to find on youtube how to get past the level

Is it the "seesaw" physics puzzle?

Unless you're on the hardest difficulty I can't think of much else that'd stop you.

No need to call yourself a failure, I bet loads of others were stuck on that part of escaping from City 17.

Fortunately, I was just replaying HL2 a few weeks ago and it's still fresh in my head. Where are you stuck exactly?

And if you're stuck on the "seesaw" puzzle like Serval suggests, have you checked that whole area out for the concrete blocks? Some are hidden under places.

I did it after watching some gameplay vids. I had to stand on a pipe and cross the room. Just finished Water Hazard and it turning out to be a great game. At the part when you first see the people with headcraps on them though i jumped because one came out of the water right in front of me and was definatly not expecting it
