Half-Life HINTS

Enable the Console

	Description
	In order to enable your console, (cheat box, basically) right click on the half life shortcut. Go down to properties. A box should open up with the properties. Go to the target tab. The line should look something like this: X:SierraHalf-Lifehl.exe . At the end of that put -console . Now it should look like X:SierraHalf-Lifehl.exe -console . Make sure that you are only using one space. Now, go back into Half Life. The main startup screen should have an extra selection that says console. Here you can enter cheats, see what's loading, and even kick people if you are on a server.

Console Mode - Game of the Year

	Description
	Instead of ''C:SIERRAHalf-Lifehl.exe -console'' it's ''C:SIERRAHalf-Lifehl.exe -dev -console'' Otherwise the impulse cheats don't work.

Half-Life GLITCHES

Gauss Cannon-Jump

	Description
	A technique used in a lot of Ego-Shooters is the Rocket-Jump where you point a Rocket Launcher at the ground and fire off a rocket while jumping to be able to jump way higher than usually. The downside is that you lose health by doing this and since a rocket in Half-Life takes away lots of health it wouldn't really be of good use. Instead you can exploit another possibility in Half-Life: Using the secondary fire mode of the Gauss Cannon instead of the rocket launcher will also launch you high into the air but will not directly deal any damage (only eventual falling damage).

Artificial staircase (2)

	Description
	Use a Snark (a bug) when facing a wall and jump onto it. Directly throw another one and repeat until you've reached the height you wanted to reach. This way you are able to reach places you're not supposed to reach just yet or even places that aren't supposed to ever be reached like roofs that can be used as shortcuts.

Artificial staircase (1)

	Description
	Put Trip Mines onto a wall in form of a small staircase. You can actually jump on them and even use them to reach places you're not supposed to reach just yet or even places that aren't supposed to ever be reached like roofs that can be used as shortcuts.

Half-Life EASTER EGGS

See a picture of one of the game developers

Description

During the mission 'On A Rail' (the part of the game where you have to stop the rockets from firing and your in the sewers or something on a trolley). Turn on 'noclip' and float towards the top of the rocket. once you get to the top you can see a pic of a developer of the game. its his face tiled about 50 times on a square. there is a ladder at the top that brings you up another level with the same pic.

P.S - this Easter Egg is only reachable using 'noclip'. there is no other way to get up that high
