Metro Cops troubling a lady. Don't hesitate to let your crowbar taste first blood.
You start off in a hallway with your trusty crowbar, on your way to Dr. Vance's laboratory via the canals. Load up on health at the First Aid station, then turn the corner to come across Civil Protection (CP or Metro Cops) troops savaging a couple of City 17 residents. Take matters into your own hands and unleash the fury of your new crowbar on them, then say hello to your new 9mm pistol. Like the lady says, get going and head up the stairs.


Jump on the train to get to the other side.
Take out another CP, and another at the surface. Wait for the train to start passing by, and as it does, leap onto the top of the train and leap onto the metal grating on the other side. Shoot the guards that spawn behind you by shooting the red explosive barrels they stand near and head through the dilapidated house. In the backyard you'll find more red barrels and more CP's. As you may have figured out by now, red barrels plus CP's equals fun. Dispatch them and then jump up on the barrel in the corner and make your way over the piece of bent fence.


Lambda Sign >>> Supplies!!
Collect the MedPacks and HEV Charges and move out of the house. Clear out the barrels and planks which block the door and shoot the Metro Cops on the top ledge beyond the fencing. It's better to shoot the Gasoline Barrels, then move into the house and come out after the blast to enjoy some nice Combine splatter. Move up the bent fence and onto the other side. Some more CPs come from the other side, but I suggest you sprint full speed and crouch into the ducting under the metal container ahead.

The lambdas throughout the game indicate spots where the City 17 rebels have placed supplies that you can use. Once in the crawlspace, break open the supply crate in there and take the goodies. Next, pop out of the crawlspace and jump back down to track level at the break in the fence. Kill the CP, making use of the red barrels. Head upstairs and across the catwalk, making use of the medkit there.
Move through the ducting and get the goodies on the way. Keep your pistol loaded and wait for CP on the other side to break the vent cap. Engage any more resistance you face from the safety of the duct.


Shoot this Barrel to shake things up.
Move ahead and jump from the opening in the fence. Proceed with caution now; this is where many Metro Cops swarm you all at once. Shoot the farthest barrel from you and it takes care of one Metro Cop. Then move to the edge of the opposite wall and try to locate two Gasoline Barrels behind the glass wall. Shoot one of them carefully and wait for one Metro Cop to run out. Finish him off, take the HEV Charge below the stairs and go up. Don't bother with the health station now — getting out of the firing line is the priority.

Collect all the ammunition and shoot the barrel at the end of the hallway — let it explode on its own. That takes care of another Metro Cop who comes down from the staircase. Make your way up the stairs, and cross the bridge. If you wait on the bridge, you see three more Metro Cops coming from where we landed previously. Shoot them only when they come close enough. Then hack your way through the crates and descend to the landing on the other side. Deal with two more Metro Cops on the other side. (If they try to follow you, backtrack your way up the stairs and finish them off on the bridge).

To your extreme left are three other Metro Cops on the railway track; finish them off from the ledge itself and then jump off. Collect some much needed HEV Charges and recharge at the Health Station. Collect the ammo lying around and move out on the bridge. If you are fond of trains, there's another one which runs by for your viewing pleasure.
