HL2 - Bugs/Glitches/Exploits

Bug?

- Magnum Handgun (1 Shot Kill)

Have the handgun out with ammo, hold mouse1 and mouse2 down together at the same time, wait for about 10 seconds and then release just mouse2 only to fire a 1 shot kill. The longer you hold down will result in a more powerful shot, so if you just hold for a second then let mouse2 go, it won't be a kill.
It would nice if anyone could try make a script for this.

Exploit?

- Grav Gun Jump

With the use of the grav gun, you can jump across maps. I've only fooled around with the grav gun so there may be other ways to do high and long jumps. The way I tried was on the overwatch map, there are long metal tables, stand on top of one and look straight down and jump and then fire the grav gun, and then keeping jumping and shooting fast and you will keep moving up in the air. You can get to some crazy spots in the maps.

Sometimes when I come in a map I see some halls are blocked with lots of stuff and you can't remove it with the grav gun. If you use mouse 2 on the garbage you clone things but they dissapear after 10 seconds.

Anyone more info?

I've done this on overwatch:

Use the gravity gun to pick up one of those orange / white road barriers and fling it straight up into the air. If you are lucky, it will land on your head and stay there (will cause minor damage). Now crouch and walk away from it and notice that it is floating in the air. As soon as you release the crouch key, it will fall to the ground.

Ok heres a nice little trick to get an incredible ratio using the same metal table idea hellfire came up with:

Go up to the third floor ( the topmost ) on overwatch and stop at the top of the stairs, grab the metal table to your left with the gravity gun. Take the table and put it in on the stairs, in a position you can jump on the table. Now, you have to be fast, so get ready- shoot the gravity gun repeatedly and try to jump on the top of the platform above the stairs. If you can get there, you have a PERFECT camp spot to own the constant waves of people trying to get to the third floor and grab some rocket launchers. The stairs are the only access to the third floor.

make an unlimited supply of bodies for the blue gravity gun to mess around with:

1. get an ally, like Barney or the rebillion people
2. get out your BLUE gravity gun
3. now, aim your grav gun at your ally, and RIGHT-CLICK
4. you should have a dead body clinging to your grav gun, but your ally is still alive.
5. Repeat to throw some bodies at aliens/Combine ;)

made a very simple script for charging the handgun

// Handgun Charger (Press & Release Script)

alias w3 "wait; wait; wait"

alias +hgcharger "+attack2; w3; +attack"
alias -hgcharger "-attack2; w3; -attack"

bind "MOUSE4" "+hgcharger"

put this script into the autoexec.cfg
"\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\cfg"
create the cfg if needed
change the bind mouse4 to any key
