Gordon Freeman is back! Half-Life 2 picks up some time after the original Half-Life left off, with Gordon Freeman working for the G-Man. Along with scientist Eli Vance and his daughter Alyx, your mission is to... well, that would be telling.

  • Barney is back, and all the voice actors from the original Half-Life are reprising their roles. Also returning is Half-Life's original writer, Marc Laidlaw.

  • While the new engine has all sorts of fancy features, it's still designed to scale and work on lower-end machines. A 700mHz processor and a video card capable of running DX6 is enough, although a 2gHz with the latest video card is recommended to free up resources for those memory-hogging textures.

  • Alyx is not a playable character. You're still Gordon Freeman, and Gordon doesn't talk. Want him to? Make a mod!

  • Scripted sequences are much further apart than in Half-Life, with new levels of interactivity.

  • New Havok-based physics apply to every object in the game.

  • A complete SDK - including a new version of Hammer, face poser tools and more - is available through Steam free of charge.

Yeah... the mod... it was too much for me. I'm having enough trouble as it is with my other mod. Go figure.

The thing i don't get is, in the beginning, you see Barney, and he says "It's me Gordon! Barney from Black Mesa!"(i only played the demo) I don't get it, i played Half-Life 1 and i didn't saw him (maybe it's because every cops are similar)

xD I believe it's more kind of a joke. Beacause the model for the securitys was called Barney. ;)

Episode 1 has some dialogue that gives some more history at Black Mesa before the resonance Cascade, so does Episode 2.
Or play the Half Life mod, Azure Sheep.

Yeah, the default weapons aren't that great, but that's why there are websites like FPS Banana. Vertthrasher's reskins still look good even in Episode 2.
