Half-Life 2 Cheats


PlatForm: PC


Half-Life 2 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.

Half-Life 2 Cheat: Portal Gun Hack

This process modifies your game files, so make back-ups of the proper files and directories before attempting this hack.


1. You need both Portal and Half-life 2 for starters. Install or re-install both games now.


2. Back up your Portal directory. Unless you changed the install path, the directory is in ...\Steam\steamapps\(your_username)\portal. If you make a mistake during this hack, you may need to re-download Portal through Steam (or at worse, Half-life 2 through Steam).


3. Download and install GCFScape if you do not have it already. This program allows you to access the cached game files for games using the Source engine.


4. Head into the directory ...\Steam\steamapps\ for all the available GCF archives available. Open the file half-life 2 content.gcf via GCFScape. Click the hl2 folder on the left pane of the GCFScape Explorer window. Right mouse click maps and select the command Extract to place all the contents of the maps folder into the directory ...\Steam\steamapps\the_great_bundini\portal\portal. This merges Half-life 2 maps with the Portal map folder.


5. Repeat the above step with the scenes folder via GCFScape.


6. Boot up Steam to run Portal. Drop the developer console with ‘~’ (you may need to enable it under your keyboard options or enable it via the -console command switch on the executable's shortcut).


7. On the developer console, type maps * to list all the available maps; this should inclde the Half-life 2 maps imported from the previous steps. Type map and then the name of that map (i.e., map d1_canals_01).


8. Once the map is loaded and you can play, drop the console and enable the cheats for Portal by entering sv_cheats 1. Give yourself all weapons (including the Portal Gun) by entering impulse 101. You may need to input upgrade_portalgun to enable you to fire both portals.


9. Enjoy the havoc. Note that this hack also works with Episode 1 and Episode 2. You will notice that while NPCs from Half-life cannot pass through portals, all other inert objects (including yourself) and weapons fire will pass through with no problems.

Half-Life 2 Cheat: Spawn Alyx's Weapon

Enter npc_create_equipment weapon_alyxgun in the dev console then type npc_create npc_combine_s which spawns a combine trooper with Alyx's gun. Then simply kill the trooper ang get the gun. Note, when you pick up the gun looks like a giant block on the bottom left corner of your screen.


Half-Life 2 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.

Fable 2: They Stole Halo's Energy Sword


GameXtract writes "Mommy! He stole my sword! Okay…well considering both titles are on the 360 the transfer was more mature, but in the end it looks like Fable 2 will be getting a piece of the energy sword from the Halo series. The video was posted in which it shows off a weapon very similar to that of the energy sword you will find in the Halo series. Currently the epic pirate holding the energy sword does not do much but hangs the sword around his back, and walks around with pride silently telling everyone to back the fuck off. I still say the dog in the video given is way cooler, but that's just me. Take a look at the energy sword in Fable 2 after the jump."

The Five: Grand Theft Auto IV (PC)


1. The perfect version? If you have a high-end PC, you're in for a real treat. With upgraded everything and no concessions made, with the right machine, it could be tempting to bypass the icky mouse/keyboard combo for the USB-enabled Xbox 360 pad (or an old PlayStation 2 controller with the Super Joy Box) and gloat at your console buddies. However, those special Xbox 360 episodes will be staying on the Xbox 360.


2. Multiplayer will be beefier. Although Rockstar isn't commenting on all the additions, it could include new modes and support more players. There is also a new filter for match searches, which will help simplify things. C'mon, Rockstar, why sit on the nitty-gritty multiplayer details when single-player is where the game truly shines?


3. Warm up your video cards. GTA IV PC will have a pile of graphical upgrades, such as increased draw distances. If you have the video card and monitor to support it, you can scale the resolution all the way up to a whopping 2560x1600. But in the "Three Leaf Clover" mission that we saw, Miko, Packie and his Irish cronies actually looked pretty similar, in terms of facial features, at the highest resolution. The fact that we were viewing the demonstration on a 70" screen may also have been important, but could running the game at bleeding-edge resolutions also highlight its graphical shortcomings?


4. This movie is about you! When playing GTA IV on your PC, the game will constantly be recording 30-second clips that you can edit later. Cut, splice, and add filters to your favorite replays, and then upload them to sites like the Rockstar Games Social Club.


5. Who cares! We want the mods! The GTA franchise has a healthy modding community that won't wait around for Rockstar to deliver new content. With a heap of total-conversion mods designed for GTA: San Andreas, for example, players could change the game into GTA: Vice City, Resident Evil or even a Rally game. With the new GTA engine, modders are going to be quite busy, to say the least.


The Big Question: Doesn't everyone already own it? With 10 million units sold, does the PC version add enough to get GTA fans to double-dip? While the video editing sounds cool, all the sexy visual upgrades will only be seen with the hefty video hardware capable of delivering them. Since Rockstar is keeping silent on multiplayer, we don't have a clue what's going on there. Unless you still haven't played the game, own a big rig that can handle everything already, and want to get your hands dirty with mods -- we say hit the couch with Mr. Bellic and stick with the console version.
