OK, I've just gathered together a few of the questions and threads that continue to be brought up. Hopefully this FAQ can help some people.
Who/What/When/Why/How...
Wait! Hold on there fella, not so fast.
Have you tried.... *****searching**** the forums? It's almost certainly been asked and discussed a hundred times already.
What the hell is going on in the HL story!?
Take a look at this detailed HL2 Storyline. Even Marc Laidlaw has stated it's "pretty darn accurate".

What are all the G-Man sighting?
Steampowered.com have a thread with all 12 currently known sightings here:

How do I use cheats to get the blue gravity gun earlier in the game?
Type into the console:
map d3_citadel_03
Wait for the energy field to take your weapons, pick up the gravity gun, then use a changelevel command to take you to another map, e.g.
changelevel d1_trainstation_01
Where's the Hydra!? And the Icthyosaur?
It was cut, as were many other parts we saw in the E3 videos. This happens kids, deal with it. Although I would have liked the Biozeminades to have made an appearance...
I'm STUCK!
Firstly, don't be tempted to cheat, please! You will never forgive yourself. HLFallout are developing a pretty good guide here which should have all you need:

AI/Scripted scenes are broken
e.g. Mossman not taking you down on the elevator
Firstly, make sure you have a LEGAL version of the game. Secondly try this, taken from http://www.k1designs.com/halflife.htm:
Also try this if you can't jump having got the blue gravity gun.
Half-life 2 crashes / stutters / doesn't work properly
Try this: http://steampowered.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/entry.php
or search the Steam & HL2 Support forum
What other console commands are available to me? How do I spawn enemies etc?
In case you're too blind to see the sticky, here's MagicalMonkey's thread:

To fix the problem, walk into the elevator and press the F6 and F9 Keys one after the other. If it doesn't work try moving to various locations inside the elevator and then pressing the keys. Remember, first press the F6 and then press the F9 Key. Keep doing this until the problem is fixed. I have tried this solution on various copies and various systems and they all fix the problem just fine! Happy Gaming!
