Half-Life 2: cheat console?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action (More info?)

I'm on the level where you are battling around the ruined city trying to
"find the horse", whatever that means, and am totally stuck. So I wanted
to try some of the console cheats, to enter fly mode & get a bird's-eye view.
I'm obviously missing something basic.

According to GameSpot, I just have to press the '~' key to get the console.
But that doesn't work for me-- nothing happens!

Is there some other trick to bringing up the console? Do I have to modify
the shortcut or something?

Thanks!

You enable the console from within the game itself. Go to the
keyboard configuration settings, select advanced and it's a
tick box.

Spoiler (but not much of one) re the horse:

The horse you're looking for is a statue of a rearing horse,
you should see it from the top of the building you're on when
you're told to find it. Then work your way around the city,
occassionally catching glimpses of it.

when you finish the game, steam will eat your brain out and you will
become another loyal, submissive and fanatically devoted valve servant
