In order to enter the following cheats you will have to activate the console. There are couple of ways to do that:

1) Modify the game shortcut. Right-click on the Half-Life 2 shortcut, select Properties and a new screen should pop up. Add the " -console" parameter (without the quotes) at the end of the target field so it looks similar to this:

"C:\Program Files\Half-Life 2\hl2.exe" -console

Apply the changes and run the game using that shortcut.

2) Open the "autoexec.cfg" file (use Notepad for this) located in cfg subfolder of your game install dir (if there is no such file, just create it). Add the following two lines:

sv_cheats "1"
con_enable "1"

3) Turn the console on in the options menu (Options > Keyboard > Advanced).

Change intro

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.
