A very simple strat that can be useful for anyone willing to do a deathless run without involving speedrun mechanics or for anyone struggling with this section of the game. Black Ops can be very threatening to any first time player, but after analizing their placement and how their AI works, I decided to optimize a bit a stealth route initially performed by Stu in his playthrough.

Without worrying about the noise we can quickly snipe the first three enemies by picking around corners and blowing up barrels, as long as we don't expose ourselves by accident, everything should be fine. To finish the last Black Op we should avoid destroying the boxes right below her, otherwise she will be facing us at the time of going upstairs. Also make sure you hold "crouch" key after entering the area with all the boxes, crawling is way less noisy than walking.

Stu's amazing deathless playthrough where this strategy was borrowed from:    • Half-Life no death run (Hard)
