Many years since the events of Half-Life 2 have passed. The Resistance was futile and humanity remained in chains of the Universal Union. The Combine have re-established their dominance on Earth, stronger than ever before. A new Citadel was built. But... not all hope is lost!

A new foe to the Universal Union has emerged, destroying their fleet and freeing the civilisations that have been enslaved. Now their target is Earth.

Take control of a top-notch war machine - Mech - to capture Combine Sub-stations to weaken the defense of the Citadel, and then destoy it at last.
