Driving Combine vehicles?

[Phil The Kill]

I tried a few times during my first run-through but you couldn't.

After finishing the game I started over, gave myself all weapons, and started kicking combine butt(that was kinda fun, breaking up their little shakedown parties on the innocent citizens).

In the first chapter, I killed all of the combine thus preventing them from knocking my lights out (and, sadly, depriving me of meeting Alyx) but then, of course, you are stuck because none of the doors are programmed to open.

So I noclipped down to the street where the two Combine vehicles were and, after whitewashing them with a paint bucket I threw down from the roof, sidled up to the second one, hit "Use" and was giventhe driving controls overlay for turbo and handbrake). The car wouldn't move using the mapped controls, but I thought that it was interesting that the devs had somehow left this car enabled to be "used."

Wow, that's pretty cool. I once had the idea to try that on that car, since I also killed the combine at that point but I didn't.

How do you give yourself all the weapons after beating the game?

Well, there is also some other evidence that the combine APC was, at some point, a driveable vehicle or at least intended to be.

Well if he doesn’t know the cheats I’m sure he doesn’t know how to get the consol to come up. You need to open steam, go to play games, right click on hl2 and select properties. Then go to launch options and add “–console” without the quotes of course. At that point hitting the ~ key brings up the console in game and you can active cheat mode by typing sv_cheats 1. From there give all weapons is “impulse 101” again no quotes. Good luck.
