Half-Life 2 Cheats
for PC

Cheat Activation

Add the parameter -console to your hl2 executable. The best method is to create a new shortcut to the hl2.exe and change its command line by adding the cheat/console parameter and then saving the shortcut. This way, you can play Half-life 2 with or without cheats (you can rename your shortcut to reflect this).



For some versions of Half-Life 2, you may need to add a longer parameter string -applaunch -dev -tconsole instead of the previously mentioned parameter.

Hint: Rocksploration

In the Chapter Anti-Citizen, Freman can reach the rooftop of the building blocked by some rocks on its stairs. After D.O.G. hops onto the dropship, crouch jump onto the sofa and Freman can jump past the rocks. Bring a box or similar object to act as a platform. It is barely possible to reach the roof of the building -- there's nothing there, but it's a little hidden area.
