Entropy : Zero is a modification for Half-Life 2 created by Breadman and released on Steam on October 10th, 2017.It follows the exploits of a wise-cracking, sociopathic Civil Protection officer only known as "Bad Cop". Eleven months prior to the events of Half-Life 2 proper, Bad Cop finds himself stranded in snow-covered City 10 after a train crash leaves him the Sole Survivor of his squad. An outbreak of the "CFLU" some time prior to his arrival had forced the Combine to abandon the city, allowing the Resistance to swoop in and take hold of it for themselves. With his circumstances leaving him the only one who can set things right, Bad Cop sets out to clear the streets and subways of infestation, Resistance or otherwise, and reclaim the city for the Universal Union.A sequel, Entropy : Zero 2, was released on August 20th, 2022 and follows Bad Cop's story in the time between Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One. A spin-off by a different team of modders, titled Entropy : Zero - Uprising, was released in April of 2023, showing a Civil Protection officer's perspective of the City 17 Uprising.

All There in the Manual: There's an extensive amount of lore write-up (compiled here for easy reading) which explains story elements that are only implied in-game, such as why CFLU is more dangerous to Combine personnel than to regular humans, the measures the Combine took to try and maintain power in City 10, the civilian exile to City 17, and the purpose the Quantinode core in Pillar 10 serves.

Title Drop: The large overhead screens indicating Pillar 10's core status initially read "Entropy: Optimal". During the final boss fight, this status changes to "Entropy: Dropping" and eventually "Entropy: Zero".

Super Prototype: In place of the standard AR2 from Half-Life 2 is a prototype AR2, which boasts a higher magazine capacity and more stopping power but also has much more intense recoil than its mass-produced counterpart.

Nintendo Hard: Combat is considerably more difficult than the standard Half-Life fare, with Bad Cop being more vulnerable to damage due to him lacking Gordon’s HEV suit. Certain fights will end up becoming an outright slog if you can’t maneuver your way around the enemy.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Bad Cop's train derailing is revealed through Story Breadcrumbs to have been intentionally caused by the City 10 Resistance, whose leader ordered the derailing as part of a deal with the G-Man. Little did they know how screwed the whole city would be as a result.

Optional Stealth: You have the option of sneaking through one of the Resistance's strongholds by taking a specific path through it. Given that they have reconfigured Combine turrets set up everywhere to shoot intruders as soon as the alarm is raised, it's the more preferable course of action.

Take That!: One of the graffiti messages in the mod claims that "Cold silence has the tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion". It’s found right below a Lambda graffiti with a "3" right next to it, confirming it to be a dig against Valve for their lack of communication regarding the long-awaited Half-Life 3.

Turned Against Their Masters: A smaller-scale example involving the Combine floor turrets, which the Resistance have reprogrammed to be friendly to them and hostile to the Combine. After Bad Cop reconnects the turrets to the Combine network, they become Combine-affiliated once again and start gunning down rebels all across the city.
