Some Combine will begin shooting at you from down the road, but ignore them as Dog will come along, pick up the van, and throw it at them. Not only are there now two less soldiers for you to worry about, but you can carry on along the road too. Before you do, climb onto one of the green dumpsters to your right, pull up a crate and use it to get onto the concrete ledge for a lambda locator. Carry on down the road and when it meets another coming from the right, Dog will run off towards the Combine barricade, but will turn around as an APC starts firing at him. He'll jump on it and ride it around a bit before picking it up and throwing it into the Combine-occupied corner building. Dog will then go and forcibly open the gate of the barricade; head on through, and he'll be about to join you but a dropship lands near. Instead of following you, Dog will close the barricade, kill the soldiers that come out of the APC, then ride the dropship over the mobile Combine wall and out of sight. Before the wall crushes you look left and jump over the bent fence. On the other side, go in the building. Through the door to the left is a crouch-space which you need to go through (and get a loading screen), but before that you can check the room on the right further along the corridor to find a weird television, and the source of the noise; it's G-Man! He'll be on the screen briefly whilst you look at it, then turn away and the TV will mysteriously turn itself off. Creepy guy. Head back to the crouch-space and go through. | ||

However now it's in a considerably worse state than it was already in, and all the CPs are gone. Help the rebel at the end by killing the organic Combine scanners floating around, then go to the end of the yard and turn right. Go left at the corner and past the fence, then left again and under the section of house that's fallen over. You'll be in City 17's main square; with a large "Breencast" on which some rebels will proceed to tear down and cheer. After this, they'll notice you and begin following you; you'll now be given some on-screen prompts on how to use your squad. Mostly though, they're just useful for following you, opening things you can't and drawing Combine fire away from you long enough for you to do whatever it is you're trying to. | ||
Once you've sent and recalled your squad, the door in the alley to the right of the tower the Breencast was on will open up and two CPs with pistols will come out. They'll go down pretty quickly, so head through the alley they came from and up the stairs at the end to get another loading screen. Around the corner, you'll see a resistance member on the other side of the fence, beyond a hole covered by a metal plate. He'll warn you about all the hopper mines; these things are anchored to the ground but when you go near them they'll jump out and explode. If you keep your wits about you it's only ever your squad who will cop it from these, and you can wrench them out of the ground with your gravity gun to use them yourself. Move the metal plate and use the gravity gun to get rid of the hopper mines beneath the hole, then clear the mines in the yard so your squad can proceed safely. Some headcrabs will approach from the shed up at the top of the stairs; your squad can deal with these. In the shed you'll find some health and suit batteries, and you can watch another Breencast on the TV in here (or alternatively turn the TV off by pulling it out of its plug and smashing it with the crowbar). | Once you've sent and recalled your squad, the door in the alley to the right of the tower the Breencast was on will open up and two CPs with pistols will come out.

In the yard at the end, deal with the CPs in the various windows.

Locating the Resistance
Hop out of the lift shaft and Dog will jump down with you. Go outside using the hole in the wall and approach the van blocking the road. Some Combine will begin shooting at you from down the road, but ignore them as Dog will come along, pick up the van, and throw it at them.
