Sniper Mode with any weapon Cheats
- If you have a crossbow, you can get sniper mode on any weapon, and here's
how: Simply quick-save your game, go to the crossbow and zoom in, and then
quick-load. When the game pops up again, you will be zoomed in on the
weapon you had when you saved, and can cycle through the others as normal.
To zoom out, just go back to the crossbow and press 2nd attack.
OR
Enable the console by typing "-dev" or "-console" (without qoutes) as mentioned in one of the above codes.
Start up the game, and enter a new game, or load a saved one. Now hit the ~ key to bring up the console. Type the following, where * is the key of your choice. (Keep in mind, you must bind all three commands to different keys.
bind * "fov 20"
bind * "fov 50"
bind * "fov 90"
The first will bring you in to a very close zoom. Second is mid-range, and third is the command to bring you back to the normal view. It works with any weapon, though it will not change the mode of fire or increase/decrease accuracy.

Cheat: Better Third Person Cheats
- Here’s how to get a real active following chase-cam style third person view and not the annoying side view. NOTE: All commands are to be typed WITHOUT the quotes.
Get into the console. Make sure cheats are on (command: "sv_cheats 1"). Next, put it in third person (command: "thirdperson") Now change the camera angle to behind the player instead of to his right side. To do this, you have to change the camera's yaw angle number. (command: "cam_idealyaw 1") Now you have an active chasecam third person.
There are more camera commands that you can play around with for whatever reason. -"chase_active 1" changes the view to a more passive style ("chase_active 0" to turn off) -"cam_idealpitch 90" changes standard camera pitch angle. The command "cam_idealdist 64" changes the standard camera distance. To return to your normal first person shooter, simply use the command "firstperson”.
Quick Weapon Reload Cheats
- First of all, this only works for weapons with slow reload times, like the magnum and the tranquilizer crossbow. Upon running out of ammo in your clip, you will begin to reolad your weapon. If you want to fire faster, simply changes your weapon while in the reloading animation, and then switch back to the weapon you want to use, and realoading will be complete.
NOTE: This trick does not work with Half-Life 1.0.1.0 or higher.
All weapons and ammo Cheats
- Enable Cheat mode. Then press ~ (tilde) and enter "/impulse 101" at the console window.
Console Codes Cheats
- Load the game using the "-DEV –TOCONSOLE" command line parameters. Your command line should look like this:
HL.EXE –DEV –TOCONSOLE
(If the text does not disappear, then press the tilde key [~].)
- During the game, press the tilde key [~] and type "sv_cheats" at the console window to activate cheat mode. (The underscore "_" denotes a space.)You must either die or reload your game before you this code takes effect
(Note: To use cheats on a saved game, enable Cheat mode and load the saved game.)
- Load the game using the "-DEV –TOCONSOLE" command line parameters. Your command line should look like this:
Third person perspective Cheats
