exciting action ...
My last quest had me crawling in the rafters of the office complex. I had moved some boxes and climbed a ladder ...
There was an obvious way out of the current obstacle by crawling and breaking a metal grate, but for some reason the first few times I tried, the grate wouldn't break. So that had me waste some time trying to find another way out. But then I tried again, hitting the grate square on with the crowbar and it finally broke. As soon as the grate broke, I saw a scientist walk in, say "hello" and then totally get owned by a laser gun that was mounted on the ceiling. I rushed across the room (yes, I died a time or two) and got by the gun. I killed some head crabs, made my up some stairs and met up with the first security guard I had seen in a while that wasn't dead. He actually helped out a little bit by killing some head crabs and following me.
After I got to another section of the office complex I could tell the action was picking up. I heard some screeches and noises from some creatures that I hadn't heard before. Of course I ran right into a creature who killed me quickly.
I tried a new strategy to kill some of the monsters. I eased my way around some corners to get some good shots. Of course I don't think this is always going to work when there are multiple creatures to kill. My problem is, my health is down to 9 and I haven't seen a health station in a while. I saw a room or two that saw scientists trying to escape and getting killed. There are multiple new creatures around, so before I move on I'm going to need to increase my health, re-load my ammo, and get ready to shoot.
Seems like I'm getting to a pretty exciting spot in the game ...

There's a Health Station back in the gun room right under the gun. You have to go from box to box, waiting for the gun to settle down before you move again, but if you're patient, you can get up underneath it, cut its power, then grab the health and all the goodies in the boxes in that room.
Go PapaBoo, you're making progress!
Two tips to help you out:
A) Always break any crates you come across - they often contain stuff you can use (be careful, though);
B) Have you tried the soda machines? A tasty beverage is refreshing after a tough day battling alien nasties...
When pressing buttons and breaking things, try to be close to them and have the reticule on the thing you're trying to click/break. Sometimes the animation looks wonky and can be misleading.
just backtrack a bit and collect all the goodies you can find, get yerself your shotgun ready, and go for it! run in, blast em all to hell, have a little fun :D
btw if you press second mouse button with the shotgun, you fire 2 rounds at once, doing alot more damage. try to do this when they are up close and they need to die quickly!
this is one of the first really intense moments in the game, kind of a preview of later on :)
avoid their green lasers of death!
