You mean in the opening sequence of HL1? It should have been obvious it 
was a broken tank.  In Opposing Force, you go past it later as a 
different character and it has been patched up (badly).  Loved that part.

Don't forget the giant fan that can only be switched on from underneath 
the blades, with the ladder out going up past the blades, requiring you 
to run out before they get up to speed.

Which one? That I don't recall.

  Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
  kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
  who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
  and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?
