There are other burning questions, too: will the next release still be branded an episodic offshoot of Half-Life 2, or has it, as some fans have supposed, evolved into the grander form of Half-Life 3? Then there's the batch of recently leaked concept art, originating from 2008, prompting many to wonder whether the interdimensional Xen world will make a reappearance (possibly now reimagined as a tie-dye acid-trip featuring floating avioli and alien squid-flowers) and raising the pressing issue of what kind of ear-muffs Alyx will sport in the cold wastes as she hunts for The Borealis, an Aperture Science ship containing either humanity's salvation or its doom.

But inquiring minds might find their own answers by playing through the preceding two episodes. This is also extremely useful (if not required) when going for the Neighborhood Watch Achievement/Trophy, as you usually have plenty of time to deal with the Hunters in between two Strider waves, yet barely enough to deal with them before the Strider destroys a building.If there's one question Valve must be sick of hearing it's this: where is Episode 3? No-one's saying anything - not yet. P.S: You actually can kill the Striders without dealing with the Hunters first, but in order to do this, you'll need to be extremely fast, both when picking up the Magnussen and launching it, and when switching to the handgun and detonating the device.

You may want to explore the neighbourhood first though, so you won't waste time finding the Striders as they appear. Of course, this assumes that you can survive a close encounter with the Hunters, which you'll have to anyways, since they rarely leave the Striders' side and you'll have to be fairly close to the Strider, if you want to successfully land a Magnussen. The advantage of the Revolver and Shotgun, is that they can kill a Hunter in about 2-3 shots, although in the case of the Shotgun it can require more than 3 shots due to the Shotgun's low accuracy and range. There are only few weapons that can kill Hunters in a single shot, and all of them have extremely limited ammo. The advantage of using logs (or rocks), is that they are available in abundance and that they can kill a Hunter with a single shot, assuming the shot hits, which is why you'd want to get close and personal. My favourite tactic consists in picking up a log with the Gravity Gun, and whack those hunters with them and when there's no log in convenient proximity, I use the Revolver or Shotgun (but I prefer the Revolver, since it's more accurate) to kill them as fast as possible. Is there some better way that could kill them faster? I am aware of the secondary fire mechanism of the AR2 but I usually have only 3 shots of ammo for that and that is not going to be sufficient for the about 20 Hunters that will need to be killed in the course of the battle. I was wondering what your tactics are to take care of the Hunter issue. This is a very lengthy process which means I usually end up losing all buildings on the map and towards the end it is always a very close call whether I can hold the Striders off from shooting the base. Hitting the Hunters takes up most of the time I spend on the entire battle. This means I frequently have to reverse and try to hit the Hunter again and again. Also they are often very close to their Strider so that the Strider's legs get in my way.

This is, however, not as easy as one would hope because the map is full of obstacles and Hunters sometimes move in the last seconds before I can run them over.

So I usually resort to running them over with my car. The problem with Hunters is that they are somewhat tough. My problem is that I cannot kill the Striders as long as the Hunters are alive as they always shoot the Magnusson Devices before I can attach them to the Strider or before I can shoot them to blow up the Strider.ДЇor this reason I always kill the Hunters first before I take on the Striders. I always have a hard time defending the White Forest base against the oncoming Striders and Hunters.
