Following the period of instability caused by the events depicted in Half-Life, an interdimensional organization known as the Combine invades Earth, defeating human forces in the Seven Hour War. A Combine citadel stands in City 17, an Eastern European city reminiscent of World War II ghettos. Dr. Wallace Breen, a human scientist, rules the city on behalf of its new masters. An energy field prevents humans from procreating and no new children are born. Earth is turning into a sinister and oppressive police state.
Meanwhile, Gordon Freeman, the man who was at the center of the events that took place shortly before the rise of the Combine, awakens from his stasis and is inserted into a train for City 17 by the mysterious G-man. Gordon is soon brought into a resistance group and makes a seemingly futile attempt to bring down the Combine and free Earth.
Half-Life 2 is a linear first-person shooter with light puzzle-solving elements and extensive settings, similar to its predecessor in concept. The player guides Gordon Freeman through City 17 and the wilderness that surrounds it. On his way, he will meet some friendly characters, but will also fight dangerous enemies. The game features a realistic physics system: Gordon can pick up objects and throw them freely, and many puzzles are physics-based - for example, at one point the player has to weigh down a swing with bricks at one end for the rotate. in a ramp.
Gordon's enemies, aside from alien wildlife that have found their way to Earth, are primarily Combine, who use a variety of guns, gadgets, and vehicles. Police and infantry work with helicopters, helicopter gunships and gigantic walking machines to hunt him down. To defend himself, Gordon has a range of weapons at his disposal: from the iconic crowbar for close combat, through pistols and rifles, to grenades and rocket launchers. One of the most notable weapons is the gravity gun, with which Gordon can pick up objects, hold them within the gun's anti-gravity field, and then hurl them at the enemy with great force.
The game's centerpieces include coordinated assaults on enemy bases, battling gigantic enemy bosses, destroying planes with the Rocket Launcher, and more. A few levels require the player to navigate buggy-like vehicles. Some of the more exotic stages involve the player summoning an army of antlions to unleash on unsuspecting enemies.
The game includes Counter-Strike: Source, a version of Counter-Strike made with the new Source engine that powers Half-Life 2, and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, an online multiplayer game with the same physics and weapons as the single-player game.
