Half-Life 2 Cheats For PC

1. Anticitizen one chapter ending

   At the end of anticitizen one, just where dog fights combines at the moving wall, You will walk into a broken stair/elevator room. When you jump over the fence and walk into it, there will be a TV in a broken room. (Note: this secret uncommonly works.) If you stay in that room long enough, the tv will start playing music and showing gman on it.

7. Console Code

   Open the console menu using ~ and imput this code:

   bind key command

   This binds a console command to a key. Note that if the command has arguments, quotes must be used. For example: bind x "impulse 101"

   Be careful on which key you choose. If you use a key already in use for the game (W, A, S, D are for movement, 1-6 is used for weapons, G is for gravity gun, etc), the bind command will override the original command, and you will not be able to use it anymore.

   Effect	Effect
   bind X "Impulse 101"	Creates a hot key for instant stock of weapnos and ammunition using the "x" key
