All chapters
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "config.cfg" file in the "\hl2\cfg" directory. Locate the "sv_unlockedchapters" line and change its value to "15".

Get super gravity gun in any level
Enable the "map d3_citadel_03.bsp" code. Once you get the super gravity gun, enable the "changelevel [map name]" code to go to the desired level. Then, enable the "give weapon_physcannon" code.

Defend yourself by using the Zero-Point Energy gun
Take something like a barrel, chair, or another object with the Zero-Point Energy gun. Enemies cannot hurt you when they are shooting you. For better results, crouch when you are defending yourself.

Avoid losing health in Sand Trap
When you start the Sands Trap map, you will find some rocks. Someone will tell you not to step on the sand because a creature will attack. You will have to jump on the rocks. When the rock ends and only sand remains, use your gravity gun. Use it to place a door or wooden piece in the sand and stand on it. Then, place another object in front of it. Jump on it, remove the first object, and place it in front. Continue to do this until you reach rock again and the creature will not appear.

Easy kills
To kill an enemy quickly and easily, take the shotgun and hit an enemy like headcrap, zombies, and City 17 guards. Aim and hit it in the head to kill it. Additionally, you can use Dog's ball to kill; or distract and attract enemies to the ball for easy kills. When you first get the anti-gravity gun while you play fetch with "Dog", make sure to keep the ball. The ball is actually a "rollermine". You can keep the ball up until you go over to Dr. Kliener's fortified graveyard. The rollermine (ball) will follow you almost everywhere and is harmless to you, but it actually kills both types of Head Crabs. Other enemies such as zombies will ignore you and swing violently at the ball, giving you plenty of time to kill them, even with the crowbar. This will save you lots of ammunition throughout the zombie levels. You must be careful not to explode the ball, or it will be gone. If this happens, just re-load from where you had it last. The ball will follow you up most stairs, but you must carry it with the gravity gun up ladders.

Private torture
On the first level when the combine guard (who turns out to be Barney in disguise) tells you to follow him, do as he says. While you are walking down the corridor, look through the small gap in the first door you come across. You will see a man sitting in a chair, that has blood splattered on the floor underneath it that says, "There has to be some sort of mistake. I got a standard relocation coupon juts like everybody else." A combine guard who is in there with him will then walk up to the door and close the shutter.

Crazy lab
The "all-knowing-Vortiguant" can be found in another location. Enable the map "d1_eli_01" code. After the map loads, find your way inside the airlock. After the scanning sequence finishes, you should see the right doors opening. Directly in front of you will be a fence, and beyond it a blue pick-up. Ignore Dr. Mossman, who is talking to you, and enable the "noclip" code. Go through the truck and you will see a man in a blue shirt with no eyes. Ignore him and go down the ramp down. On the left side of the large space will be a Vortigaunt. Disable the "noclip" code and talk to him as many times as you can to see that he is crazy.

Bonus sequence
After the credits, wait to see the headcrab, Lamar, being pursued by the scientist. Then, watch him pounce on your head. Additionally, after you complete the game, watch the credits. Note: They cannot be skipped. When you reach the end of the credits, you will see Lamar jump onscreen. You will then hear Dr. Kliener say, "Lamar? Blast that little… Where did she get to?" This is the same thing that he says when you first see him looking for her. Lamar will then lash out at you and supposedly "couple with your head".

Defeating Barnicals
To kill the Barnicals, let them pull you up, than hit them with a crowbar from a short distance.

Defeating Striders
If you find it difficult to hit the Striders (or any other enemy) with the RPG from far away, fire a rocket and immediately press [Zoom] (default is Z). You will automatically zoom in like normal, but will still have control of the rocket. This helps in the later levels when you do not want to get too close to the Striders, or other enemies like the Combines.

Blazing Saddles reference
When you teleport to Dr. Kliener's lab from Nova Prospekt, you will meet up with Dog and go out and find Barney. Do not follow Dog out of the lab yet; wait until Dr. Kliener and Alyx start talking about getting another headcrab to replace Lamar (Dr. Kliener's pet headcrab). After Alyx suggests that he gets another headcrab, he replies, "There is only one heady." In the movie Blazing Saddles, the villain's name is Headly Lamar (whom is called Heady Lamar by some of the characters).

Half-Life logo reference
Occasionally you will see the Half-Life Logo spray painted on a wall. One example is on the wall next the entrance to Dr. Kliener's lab.

Lamar passes through crates
When Barney turns on the lights to the room that your Hazard Suit is in at Dr. Kliener's lab, he finds Lamar (Dr. Kliener's pet Head Crab). She (Lamar) attacks Barney. Barney then throws her onto the floor and she slams into some crates. Notice that she passes through them.

Invisible Lamar
When you first meet Lamar (Dr. Kliener's pet Head Crab), enable the impulse 101 code and shoot her with any gun. Lamar will instantly disappear. You will see some blood on the floor after she disappears if you shoot her with your pistol. Alyx, Barney, and Dr. Kliener will all act as if she is still there. Only Barney and Dr. Kliener do not look on top of the cabinet where she is supposed to be. They will look in completely different directions. Lamar will later return in the Teleporter room. You can shoot her again and the same thing will happen.

Lamar passes through Dr. Kliener's leg
When you and Alyx go to Dr. Kliener's lab via the Teleporter, Alyx bangs on the door and asks Dr. Kliener to let you out. Dr. Kliener then opens the door holding a shotgun. You will then see Lamar appear at Dr. Kliener's feet. However, she passes through Dr. Kliener's right leg in the process.

Jumpy Dr. Kliener and shotgun; invincible and vanishing Lamar
When you and Alyx go to Dr. Kliener's lab via the Teleporter, enable the noclip code and go through the door into Dr. Kliener's lab. You will see Dr. Kliener and Lamar behind the door; both of them not moving and a shotgun lying of the floor next to Dr. Kliener. When the moment arrives for Dr. Kliener to open the door, he suddenly jumps towards the door to open it, and the shotgun suddenly jumps into his hands. If you try to shoot Lamar, she will not die. After Lamar runs out of Alyx's view, she just disappears around the corner (and is not actually hiding at all).

Frozen Hawaiian hula doll
When you first enter Dr. Kliener's lab, you will find a Hawaiian hula doll on a desk with some monitors on it. If you bash into the desk, you will make it dance. However, when you and Alyx enter Dr. Kliener's lab again via the Teleporter and try to make it dance again, it will not. It is completely frozen on the spot.

Dog spawns from nowhere
When you and Alyx go back to Dr. Kliener's lab via the teleporter, Dr. Kliener shows Alyx that Dog has arrived. If you stand at the very back of the room (in front of the green door) and crouch, you can see underneath the door to the room where Dog is. However, he is not there. Just as Dr. Kliener opens the door, Dog suddenly spawns out of nowhere in the room, just in time for him to run out.

Pass through Dog's arms
After you and Dog leave Dr. Kliener's lab (after the Blazing Saddles reference), Dog waits for you to jump down a level. While Dog waits for you, he is completely still. He will not walk away from you when you get close to him. If you approach his arms, you can pass through them.

Dog's wires pass through Alyx
When Dr. Kliener tells Alyx that Dog arrived at his lab several days ago and lets him out, Dog rushes out and hugs Alyx. However, you can see that one of Dog's wires attached to his arms will pass through Alyx.

Door to nothingness
After you and Dog leave Dr. Kliener's lab (after the Blazing Saddles reference), enable the noclip code and go through the drink machines blocking you from going back to the beginning of the game. Go up to the door ahead of you. Disable the noclip code and open the door. You will see that there is nothing behind it, and you can just walk into nothingness.

Backless clock
When you and your squad are inside that big building and trying to disable the "generators", you will eventually encounter a clock that is hanging on a wall above an archway. To find it, enter the building and go up the stairs to the right. Go underneath the archway ahead of you, turn around, then look up to find it. Equip your Gravity Gun and shoot it using Mouse 1. Keep shooting it until it is on the floor, with its face and hands facing the floor (so you cannot see them). Notice that it has no back. You will be able to see through it. You may lose it -- to find it, crouch on the floor and look for a semi-circular shape and shoot it with your Gravity Gun until you can see its face and hands again.

Cheat Codes
Open Steam, go to your "Play Games" menu, and select Half-Life 2. Right click on it and select "Properties". Click the Launch Options button, then type "-console". Click "Ok", then close. Double click Half-Life 2 to start the game. Once it is loaded and you are playing, press the ~ key to bring up the console. Then, enter "sv_cheats 1" and press [Enter]. You can now enter the following codes at the console window. Also, any code can be used as a command line parameter by prefixing it with the "-" character. Note: For games that were downloaded from Steam, to use cheats in single player mode, start the game with the "-applaunch -dev -tconsole" command line parameter.
