Stuck in a pipe - Surface Tension
In surface tension, in the pipe just after destroying the Apache helicopter, the new area loads, and Gordon refuses to move. I can look around and shoot, but not move. I have retried this several times and Gordon always gets stuck in this pipe.

try putting in the console command noclip 1 it essentially make you go through walls and fly
Try to simply jump in that place just before you trigger a map change.

It happens in a pipe where I need to crouch so jumping does nothing :/

The noclip mode helped, thank you. I kind of feel bad for using the console, but not bad enough to start from the start :D

the noclip mode has gotten me out of many glitched situation where i couldn't move, just for not feeling bad, i decided to use it only in rare occasion since it get tempting sometimes

Use the "Use" key, probably 'E'. Almost every door opens up by just running up against it, however, the pipe exit in Surface Tension opens with the use key. I spent hours trying to figure this one out and had many say it was a bug, but I found one place that finally gave the answer. It isn't broken, it's just not intuitive that you have to use the 'E' key. It opened right up for me then and I could have just screamed when I finally found out how easy it was!

The scary part is I played Half Life when it originally came out (last century!!) and had the same problem. I forgot all about it and believe I cheated to get out. Now nearly fifteen years later and playing it again, I finally found the answer!!

Were you holding the crouch key when the map loaded. If you Let go of it in a pipe it keeps you crouched, but when the map loads you start standing up, and stuck in the ceiling

I had this problem and know exactly what and where you are talking about. I can't remember how I solved it, but I tried all sorts of things as I went through the map change. I think the thing that worked finally was shooting as I went through it. I used the machine gun and just fired constantly as I walked through the threshold. Think that worked for me.
First time I'm playing to Half Life, and faced this bug yesterday. I finally solved it! It's dark in the pipe, so naturally, you'll use the flashlight... And then you get stuck. If you let the flashlight off, you'll go through. Worked for me at least! Hope this will help.

same here. I used the God Mode cheat on at least 2 occasions, one of which during the platform-jumping portion in Xen at the very beginning of that chapter when I kept failing the long-jump.

Wow thanks this worked for me!

I had this as well!
got stuck a bunch of times and then resorted to my usual tactic of mashing the keyboard and somehow unstuck myself...
