Just try to find an infinite ammo crate, and stay near it for most of the battle.

The striders are looking solely for me, camping me and they have really good aim with knockback. At this point I either keep doing the same for half an hour waiting for luck or load eariler save and execute the whole area when it's fresh. I can't git gud (that's the correct spelling btw u troglodite) since the ecnounter isn't balanced and frankly it isn't fun or challange either. Casuals don't play hl2 in 2014.

If you're just interested in the achievement then go easy mode and be done with it.
Normally I don't suggest going the easy mode route, it promotes false assumptions and tactics.

As horrible as it may sound going hard mode and being methodical in your combat evolution, you can break the path and mode of confrontation apart into separate moments instead of the enormity of the 13 walkers and 18 plus hunters.

Learn who comes out to play and from where then brain out the shortest route to the walker.

Use the car and logs to deal with the hunters, (reusable items to conserve launcher and PB rnds) only use PR PBs (plasma balls) on the hunters when assured of taking multiples.

If you clear the hunters remain inside the walkers 4:00 to 8:00, they'll ignore you until you send an MD to them.

Always stop at a supply house when moving to next walker, slide through shelves to grab whatever, (meds mostly, they get replaced each time you come back)

After saving and ramboing around not caring about how many times I die I found the crate. It's in the left back corner of the square from palace perspective. Just rush there using rockets only to stun striders you need to walk through. Once you get there it's super easy. There should be rebel reinforcements popping up as you get closer but the triggers are buggy.

Ghidarh1 - I think you are talking about fight in episode 2, not hl2 mission.

Oops crap ... which one?
Is it "Follow Freeman" Town Square or Rooftop? I Don't confront the walkers in the town square, I run past all of them, avoid all of them. I never considered Rooftop a battle let alone a difficult one, there's just too much ammo and hides I tend to get it done in 16 rnds

[Lief]

The town square. the fact that only option is run through it is what makes it so confusing. Gotta agree that rooftop has no danger.

[Ghidrah1]

Basically the Town Square is easier/faster to do than the roof top. The issue most have with TS is staying out of the walkers LOF. But there's so much going on in the square they actually ignore Gordon with the route I use.

Follow Freeman

The Town Square event begins at 12:38 and ends at 13:33
It took 45 secs from entry to exit, and could have been maybe 10 secs faster if I hadn't been hindered by rebels. I believe the long jump and launcher make the run possible.

The roof top event begins at 17:24 and ends at 18:28 taking 1:04 secs to complete.
