Hi all! I've been playing Half Life 2 for almost a year now. It's still a very fun game to play. To add to the fun, I've decided to spawn an airboat on the pier on which the car you are supposed to use for the mission is sitting. I got into the airboat and flew off the pier. The lady screamed at me to get into the car but I ingored her. I played around the area, running over antlions. It was so much fun I decided to use the airboat to finish the jeep missions.
While doing this I've found some strange things that go wrong with the engine that makes up Half Life 2. When you do Water Hazard, you know that you can just drive over Combine solders, they die, and boxes that have health or ammo, they break. But when you do Highway 17, it's a bit hard to kill antlions and combine solders. When you drive the car over health or ammo boxes, they simply move out the way. This is strange because the car seems to be heavier thean the airboat yet the airboat does more damage.
Most of you might know this trick but I know this trick from Halo. It's the gravity gun launch similar to the grenade-jump from Halo. I used the airboat as a launchpad. I shot the airboat's white floats with the gravity gun, as I jump on it - whoa! I shot me up into the air. I managed to board the airboat in the middle of it and the airboat shot in the air along with me.

(at the start of the train bridge. See the airboat near the house.)

(whoa! Airboat does a launch with Gordon onboard)

(Just a normal jump over the gap (at the area with the second gunship).
Cheats used:
godmode (so I don't get bothered by the combine while having fun).
impulse 83 (spawn an airboat). I had to use this 3 times the first time but the second time, only twice.
