Half-Life 2 (Video Game)	comment	Half-Life 2 is a first-person shooter released in 2004 by Valve which serves as the sequel to their revolutionary and critically acclaimed debut title, and is the second mainline title in the Half-Life series. It broke new ground on many fronts in its graphics engine, physics system, artificial intelligence, and its online distribution/updating system. Unlike the previous game, it did not include a multiplayer mode on its own; instead, every retail copy of the game also came with Counter-Strike: Source to help fill out the multiplayer side of things.The game starts off about twenty years after the ending of the original game, as the mysterious G-Man awakens Gordon Freeman from stasis and places him on a train headed for City 17, an urban center in some undisclosed place in Eastern Europe. Gordon soon finds out that Earth has been invaded and conquered by a powerful alien force known as the Combine, which apparently detected the Black Mesa incident and took advantage of it to enslave humanity and add Earth to its collection of assimilated worlds. Having attained an almost messianic status among the fledgling resistance forces thanks to his actions in Black Mesa, Gordon attempts to survive and eventually strike back against the Combine by provoking a full-scale revolution. In this, he is aided by the Vortigaunts, an alien race whose enslavement he broke by his destruction of the Nihilanth; members of the Resistance, including several former Black Mesa scientists; and Resistance hacker Alyx Vance, who accompanies Freeman throughout much of the game as a fully-qualified AI partner. He is opposed by the vile Dr. Breen, former administrator of Black Mesa and now self-styled overlord of humanity.Small side games released around the time of the original include the multiplayer game Half-Life 2: Deathmatch and the single bonus chapter Half-Life 2: Lost Coast.The game has to date been followed by two Mission Pack Sequels, called "Episodes". In lieu of a full-out Half-Life 3, these shorter games were intended to cut down on the development time that a full sequel would require, though it hasn't worked out that way .The two Episodes chronicle Alyx and Gordon's escape from City 17 immediately after the events of the main game, and the rebels' continuous struggle against the remaining Combine forces, who are seemingly controlled by the mysterious "Advisors". The games also further develop the relationship between the two protagonists. Episode One was released in 2006, and Episode Two was released in 2007 alongside Portal and Team Fortress 2 in The Orange Box. However Episode Three (also sometimes refered to as Half-Life 3), intended to complete the Story Arc and resolve the cliffhanger that ends Episode Two was not released, and whether it was being worked on or not was for a long time the subject of a great deal of debate to the point of it becoming the next Duke Nukem Forever.Half-Life 2 and its sequels are remembered for setting new standards for A.I. NPC companion characters (Alyx in this case), later reflected in games such as BioShock Infinite. It was also one of the first games to make heavy use of on-the-fly physics in an intuitive and successful manner - other first-person games had experimented with physics objects prior to HL2, but it was HL2 that incorporated these elements in a way that was easy for the player to utilize and which influenced how every game that followed did physics. Finally, Steam was originally built as an update client for HL2 and other Valve products... meaning HL2 is the genesis of one of the largest digital distribution networks in media history. Half-Life 2 is a very important game in a number of regards, and even with its inconclusive ending, those interested in the history of video games should definitely make sure they're familiar with it.In 2006, a Japan-exclusive arcade port called Half-Life 2: Survivor was released. It features an unusual control mechanic with combination of pedals for jumping and crouching, joystick to move, and mouse to aim and fire. It also condenses the base Half-Life 2 campaign, cutting all of the non-combat sections while adding several new mission mode and an all new class-based multiplayer mode with all-new characters including ones based from cut concepts.In August 2017, lead writer Marc Laidlaw (who had left Valve in 2016) released the plot summary of the unreleased Half-Life 2: Episode Three, framed as a letter from Gordon Freeman note all proper nouns in the original blog post (titled Epistle 3) were changed in in some way or another. This all but confirmed that the franchise had come to rest...Until on November 21, 2019, over 12 years after the release of Half-Life 2: Episode Two, a follow-up was finally announced, but not necessarily the ones that fans had expected. The next installment of the series was revealed to be a title for SteamVR called Half-Life: Alyx, an Interquel set between Half-Life and Half-Life 2 involving Alyx and her father taking the fight to the Combine.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The world of Half-Life largely ran on Black Comedy, whereas Half-Life 2 aims for a more subtle but realistic depiction of an oppressive, Crapsack World. For some direct comparisons between the two: The HECU soldiers in Half-Life spoke and acted like action movie bad guys, with their Comedic Sociopathy often played up. The Combine Overwatch, by contrast, are shown to be much more mysterious and inhuman in nature, with their origins being a case of Fridge Horror that is left to the player to slowly piece together. In Half-Life, you were free to abuse and kill the staff of Black Mesa however you liked, and they often had amusing reactions to your aggression. In Half-Life 2, Friendly Fireproof is in effect, as the developers realised that the tone of the game was too dour for you to freely kill your Resistance allies without any consequences, and it would be a massive case of Gameplay and Story Segregation if Gordon was still treated as The Paragon regardless.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_19ebe383	comment	Never Trust a Trailer: Two of the trailers for Episode Two showed Alyx hanging off a bridge. The following scene of a Vortigaunt carrying her implied that she fell to her death. While she does die and get carried by Vortigaunts, it's not due to falling. This is cited as the reason why they did not include a trailer for Episode Three at the end of Episode Two, much like they did with Two for One, as they did not want to be constrained by what was shown in the trailer or have it be incredibly inaccurate from the final product.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_1fb947b6	type	Just Train Wrong
Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_1fb947b6	comment	Just Train Wrong: So many examples to point out. When you first arrive in City 17 not only is the passenger car ridiculously short, it also has door only on one side. The platforms are absurdly low and to cover the clearance there is a small stairway which the train is required to stop exactly so the door would be aligned with it. The platforms are also laughably short unable to serve any train of significant length. If you inspect the train closely, you'll find out it doesn't have any couplings◊. The locomotive◊ is derived from the DR1 which isn't a locomotive but a self-propelled car of a DMU. Now if you turn your attention to the tracks - they are really poorly made. They're absurdly crooked, not even trying to imitate proper curves, switches connecting in weird angles which would make any train derail at the mere sight of them. Some of the tracks are just plain, flat 2D lines with some reflection thrown in there to hide it. The switches are arranged in a way that makes no sense, preventing any meaningful operation in the trainyard. There are also randomly scattered freight cars apparently only to get in your way and utterly destroy any remaining hope for this game's rail works to serve any purpose. You'll hardly see any signal posts in the game but when you do, they're definitely French. That's very suitable for a game taking place in Eastern Europe. There is a grid of wires hanging overhead which would like to pass off as catenary, but no actual traction mains are present except for the headspan constructionnote given the high value of copper, one can easily assume that the Combine took it. What is really problematic is that a bridge and some tunnels nearby are actually too low to allow such a wire to pass through under them, let alone with a second messenger wire abovenote as is standard on all railroads except trams. The construction of the headspan wires is odd, too, as there is no obvious way to attach any wire at all, and even if there were, the messenger wires at the edges would have to be mounted higher than the ones in the middle. Finally, clearance between the hypothetical wire and the cars is way too low to be realistic and the wires are bound by obstructive clamps that'd hack-off any pantograph which would dare to so much as approach them. The Razor Train fares even worse. It's extremely tall. There's really no loading gauge in the world it would fit in. Unless the Combine built a specific lines just for those, they're completely useless. The train seems to be freight in nature but judging by its single-axled Jacobs bogies it's apparently a multiple unit which are known to consist of a fixed amount of permanently coupled cars which would be totally impractical for a freight train. They also seem to be very limited to what kind of cargo they can haul. After getting out of the mines you'll meet the only flat car in the game, which turns out to be much wider than the loading gauge would allow. Also many of the box cars' bogies exceed the edges of the cars, which makes it impossible to couple them. Not that there are any couplers on them in the first place. At the end of Episode One you'll encounter an inversion of the problem with the main station's platforms. These platforms are too tall and again there is a descending set of stairs at the end which enables you to enter the caboose passenger car. In Episode Two there are some more freight cars to be seen. Their bogies are ludicrously oversized. So much in fact that the couplers are attached to them instead of the cars' frames. On top of that the wheel sets are actually wider than the tracks so they don't even sit on the rails which again are just a 2D texture.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3	type	Ascended Glitch
Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3	comment	Ascended Glitch: The final battle with the Combine helicopter in "Water Hazard" glitched at one point in testing, causing it to fire bombs instead of bullets. It created so many bombs, the game crashed, but the developers liked the concept, so they scaled its bomb production back and made it a Desperation Attack. The gunships' ability to shoot down the player's RPGs was likewise unintended - they're supposed to target the "most dangerous" thing they can see, and under most circumstances the player is supposed to be the most dangerous thing they can possibly see, as evidenced by the fact that the first gunship will universally ignore the half-dozen rebels shooting at it to focus down the player. However, distance also factors into the calculation, and rocket-propelled grenades are physical projectiles that can be shot and destroyed in mid-air, so when one launched by the player starts moving towards them, its AI realizes that's even more dangerous and opens fire on it, promptly shooting it down. This was left in to add challenge to the fights against them. At the beginning of Episode One, Dog shaking his head after Alyx asked if he did the math was unintended. Specifically, a run-through of the dialogue before the accompanying animation was finished had Dog insert his head-shaking idle animation with perfect comedic timing. It was funny, so they decided to Throw It In!invoked. One section in Episode Two features a very audible zombie inside a dumpster. During development, playtesters commonly lobbed grenades into it, thinking they were being clever. At least one time, a physics glitch shot it right back out, making it look like the zombie had done it. The programmers thought it was hilarious and decided to re-code the sequence so that it would happen on purpose every time.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_2745f935	comment	Gas Mask Mooks: The Combine outfit Civil Protection officers in white gas masks. They are normal humans in uniforms, and don't technically require gas masks for anything encountered in the game, but it is presumably to dehumanize them. Although the Civil Protection may deploy forms of gas attacks, it is never seen during the game. The Combine "Transhuman" Overwatch soldiers also wear (variably colored) gas masks, that are presumably not removed once their uniform and armour is applied. These masks would be useful for off-world assignments alluded to during the game.

Although Gordon is free, Alyx is implied to be G-Man's newest pawn, and Gordon has been flung far enough into the future that the terrain itself has changed.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_43b154c9	comment	Not Even Bothering with the Accent: City 17 is meant to be in Eastern Europe, yet all your fellow citizens are apparently American (except Odessa Cubbage, who appears to be English, and the Combine radio operator, who has a seemingly Indian drawl). This is half-explained by the fact that City 17 is the largest of a number of "City #" megacities around the globe, and that most of the human population (minus the Resistance, of course) have been ferried around. It would certainly explain how all the Black Mesa folks ended up there. Father Grigori seems to be one of the few (if not the only) exceptions, who looks and talks like someone raised around the general vicinity of City 17.

Even the Combine's "leader of humanity" hasn't upgraded himself, despite talking of his own free will about how the Combine are here to elevate humanity to the next stage: in fact, when the Advisor suggests uploading him into a host body, his initial response is "You must be joking!" (originally, Breen's place was taken by 'the Consul', who rendered himself immortal using the Combine's life support technology). It might have something to do with the fact that most Transhuman technology is currently under the use of the Combine and they are all to eager to take thr "Human" out of Trans Human.

Episode Two: The Antlion nest◊; never has an insect hive felt more realistic in gaming then what you witness in this portion of the game. The background of the now destroyed Citadel creating the Superportal to the Combine Overworld◊. Beautiful is the only way to describe it.

Apparently the effect of these half-inch-tall figures moving in lockstep was too "robotic" for the Combine (which is quite a trick for the transhuman troops, but okay), so they coded them to switch randomly between several walk cycles as they crossed.

However, distance also factors into the calculation, and rocket-propelled grenades are physical projectiles that can be shot and destroyed in mid-air, so when one launched by the player starts moving towards them, its AI realizes that's even more dangerous and opens fire on it, promptly shooting it down. This was left in to add challenge to the fights against them.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_60414102	comment	Zombie Apocalypse: Many locations visited in Half-Life 2 and its expansion packs appear to be this, courtesy of headcrabs. Random zombies (and headcrabs) can be found in various abandoned areas. Ravenholm was a Safe Zone Hope Spot, until it was bombarded with headcrab shells, turning the entire population into zombies and leaving only one survivor. The underground tunnel you visit in Episode One counts, and there, the zombies are in a turf war with the antlions. The Outlands in Episode Two appears to have suffered from this, with zombies being found pretty much everywhere.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4	comment	The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Inverted. Your go-to medium range weapon, the Pulse Rifle, does almost 3 times as much damage in your hands as in an enemy's for no real reason (well, low ammo capacity on your part versus infinite ammo on the enemy's part, probably), and its secondary fire instantly vaporizes anything but you and plot-important friendlies. In that case, it only does a negligible 15 damage.

You have bunkers, fortified gun emplacements and tons of your buddies with you, plus those neat thumpers to keep the antlions at bay. There've been reports flying around about some crazy guy shooting his way towards you, but hey, that's far away, right? Everything's fine and dandy. Until the first of your thumpers suddenly falls silent. And then the next. And the next. Then this guy appears in your sights, unarmed, but with some strange thing in his hand which he hurls at you. Grenade? No, just some squishy pod containing some smelly stuff. Harmless... until the antlions show up. In droves. And they never stop coming until you and everyone with you are torn-up corpses, cooling off on some godforsaken beach. Behind that wall of clawed and armored doom, this guy keeps advancing, calmly sending his minions to clear bunkers and gun emplacements. Eventually, he breaches the outer perimeter and arrives at the prison grounds proper. You call in gunship support. What does the guy do? Whip out his missile launcher and blast them out of the sky. By that point, the battle is lost and you're probably long dead. Yeah, it's no fun being a mook pitted against a One-Man Army and his creepy-crawly pets. Perhaps your buddy shouldn't have bullied this guy into picking up that can when he left the train back then...

The developers correct this in Episode One, where there's a segment in the Citadel designed specifically to teach you how to run. Did you know that Hunters have a crippling weakness to physics objects launched with the gravity gun? You'd better hope you know this one, because it's the difference between them being Demonic Spiders and a Boss in Mook Clothing. Again, there's no indication of this in-game until you manage it; Valve apparently thought players would try to kill Hunters with the gravity gun for the sake of killing Hunters with the gravity gun.invoked And beyond that, you're never told that it's actually possible to One-Hit Kill them if you intercept their flechettes with a physics object and catch them in their own explosion. It's likewise possible to One-Hit Kill them by driving a car into them. The car needn't even be moving particularly fast. Did you know that the Tau Cannon can charge its shots?

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_7a7d698d	comment	Challenge Run: Some achievements require unorthodox playstyles: The "Zombie Chopper" achievement, which challenges you to complete "We Don't Go to Ravenholm" using only the Gravity Gun, of which the whole level revolves around with all the stuff the Gravity Gun can toss. Gets EXTREMELY difficult when you're on the rooftops; circular saws will pass right through zombies (especially fast zombies) and go clattering into the streets. Even if you carry a cinder block with you everywhere you go, there's still about a 50% chance that it will bounce off any given zombie and go flying over the edge. It helps considerably if you just run like hell through most of the level. Episode One ups the ante with "The One Free Bullet", an achievement which challenges you to fire one bullet throughout the entire game: to shoot a lock off after you get the pistol. Thankfully, the achievement allows you to use Gravity Gun, Rocket Launcher, SMG grenades, and hand grenades, the Crowbar (when you get it), and auto-mounted guns left by the Combine. That being said, finding things that you can toss with the Gravity Gun will be hard, especially against the antlions and zombies. Episode Two has "Little Rocket Man": find a garden gnome in the first map, carry it with you for most of the game, and drop it into a rocket. This does not, of course, come without its fair share of infuriating moments, mostly when you acquire the jalopy. The jalopy does not have any doors and the only spot to put the gnome is between you and Alyx. Taking any sharp turns will cause the gnome to slide right out and require you to go back for it.

Gordon and Alyx not only manage to delay the reaction, but also store information gathered by Judith Mossman and intercepted by the Combine in Alyx's multi-tool. Such information is so important that they get chased by the Combine all across the city. Episode Two has them ultimately reach White Forest, allowing Magnusson and Kleiner to decipher the contents of the multi-tool which turns out to include the location of the Borealis, an Aperture Science vessel containing technology that could turn the tide of the conflict between humanity and the Combine.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_8f233b1b	comment	Sorting Algorithm of Weapon Effectiveness: In the same manner as the first game: your first weapon is a crowbar that you then use to divest an enemy of his 9m pistol, and you end the game with dark energy assault rifles and laser-guided rocket launchers. However, it plays around with this to some degree: The Gravity Gun, for something you get about a quarter of the way through the game, is reasonably powerful and is perhaps the most versatile weapon in the game with a variety of uses: if you are in any situation where there is a physics-enabled prop somewhere in view, you have ammo for it. The first chapter you play after acquiring it even has an achievement for completing it while only using the Gravity Gun, and Episode One expands on that with an achievement for only firing one shot from any regular weapon, to Shoot Out the Lock immediately after getting the pistol again, for the entire game. Speaking of Episode One, it's a textbook inversion, as you start the game with the supercharged Gravity Gun that was the 11th-Hour Superpower of the main game, then after you leave the Citadel it discharges and you acquire the other weapons in a descending order of power, ending with the crowbar. Episode Two gives you a healthy cross-section of your arsenal within the first few minutes, finding the crowbar and handgun in very short order before just as quickly jumping ahead to the shotgun and revolver. The dev commentary confirms this was intentional, fully expecting that most players would have already played through the main game and Episode One and determined their preferred weapons by this point.

The cutscenes in the citadel are not an example of this trope, as there's an in-universe justification for why Gordon cannot move, and the only other cutscene in which this occurs that is an actual example of the trope is done very purposefully during a specific G-Man scene, as a way of making the player feel completely helpless to his overwhelming power, influence, and presence.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_940a5958	comment	Artificial Stupidity: Resistance fighters in Half-Life 2 are actually pretty good A.I.-wise (they strafe/use cover, verbally recognize different enemy types (i.e. "Combine!" "Zombies!"), and are smart enough to back away from melee enemies while firing), but they do have an annoying tendency to charge straight into sniper rifle fire, cluster around each other and the player instead of giving anybody some space to breathe (or run away from a tossed grenade), and cannot be told to "wait" in a safe position for more than several seconds before rushing in to crowd around the player again. There is also the infamous "barrel trick" from early in the "Water Hazard" chapter, where a certain Metrocop turret-gunner can't see you if you can't see him - say, if you carry a barrel or even a paint can so that it obstructs your view of him. In "Anticitizen One", if you boost yourself over the fence instead of going through the mines, your rebel teammates will blindly jump straight into the mines. Though in this case, it's more of a Sequence Breaking problem than their AI, since they're usually pretty good at avoiding mines and you're not supposed to go over the fence.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_967edd3a	comment	Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Several: The first two chapters are mostly action-free and simply serve to establish the setting, characters, and plot, while providing a basic tutorial. "Point Insertion" is just a walk through the train station and streets of City 17 with bits of tutorial, and the only action being the apartment raid where all you have to do is run away. "A Red Letter Day" is almost all plot, with the first combat sequence in the entire game coming at the very end of it. The chapter "Black Mesa East" is a combat-free breather level which introduces Judith Mossman and D0G, and allows the player to play with the gravity gun for the first time to get used to it, right before a full level where ammunition is scarce but things that can be picked up and thrown with the gravity gun as an attack are abundant. "Dark Energy" opens with a combat-free (and indeed, movement-free) scene where the player finally meets Breen face-to-face, and watches the ensuing interaction between him and a few other characters. The opening of Episode One is mostly just dialogue between Alyx and D0G. The Vortigaunts healing Alyx's wounds while G-Man gives a speech to Gordon in Episode Two.

"That's the old passage to Ravenholm...we don't go there anymore." In the chapter "Black Mesa East", Alyx points out the passage to Ravenholm while walking past it, and laments on how nobody can go there anymore. If Gordon walks all the way to the door at the far end Alyx further explains that Ravenholm is a mining town turned refugee camp that's been sealed off for a very good reason. Guess where Gordon's headed as soon as all hell breaks loose. The same applies to pretty much any location or route that is mentioned by name early in the game. Bonus points if the person mentioning it says the place or route is dangerous. Also in the comment that it is spawning season for the Antlions. Very possibly in G-Man's warning to Eli (by way of his daughter) to prepare. White Forest's successful shutdown of the superportal led directly to Eli's death, after all.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_a73c2eaf	comment	Expository Gameplay Limitation: Despite popularizing the trend for never breaking gameplay in the original installment, this game and its expansions feature a subtle example of this trope: whenever Freeman is facing a friendly NPC, often while the NPC in question provides exposition, he will automatically lower his weapon, though this won't actually prevent the player from firing. Some cutscenes will prevent the player from moving or firing, only permitting them to look around. The cutscenes in the citadel are not an example of this trope, as there's an in-universe justification for why Gordon cannot move, and the only other cutscene in which this occurs that is an actual example of the trope is done very purposefully during a specific G-Man scene, as a way of making the player feel completely helpless to his overwhelming power, influence, and presence. Sometimes trope usages like this may be well justified for the sake of theming and creating atmosphere.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_b0e18b32	comment	Unique Enemy: Half-Life 2: After obtaining the Crowbar, there is just one Civil Protection officer in â€œRoute Kanalâ€� who still uses the Stun Baton. Ceiling Turrets make their only antagonistic appearance inside the laser tripwire room of the Overwatch Nexus in â€œFollow Freeman!â€�. However, they cannot be destroyed and are only used to kill the player if they break the beamsnote actually, they can be destroyed, but each one takes ludicrous amounts of firepower to do so.. Ground turrets likewise make their only appearance in this building and are similarly triggered, but are destroyable. Also during â€œFollow Freeman!â€�, there is a single Overwatch Elite equipped with an SMG; every other uses the Pulse Rifle. Most likely, this was caused by a simple oversight in the level editor. Episode One: The Antlion Guard, Gunship, and Strider, all of which were fought multiple times throughout Half-Life 2, are only fought once each here. A pair of well protected Sentry Guns guard the exit of the hospital in â€œUrban Flightâ€�. A single squad of Civil Protection officers appear during the final chapterâ€™s Escort Mission, again after being much more common in the previous game. The APC technically appears twice, though only the one during the Escort Mission will attack the player; the other one is scripted to be destroyed by the Antlion Guard just before its fight. Episode Two: Like in the previous episode, the Antlion Guard is only fought once, though this time alongside its Palette Swap, the Antlion Guardian. A pair of Fast Zombie Torsos appear for a comedic scripted event early on during â€œUnder the Radarâ€�. Fast Zombies, unlike the regular Zombies, cannot usually survive without their legs.

It's likewise possible to One-Hit Kill them by driving a car into them. The car needn't even be moving particularly fast.

You can also trigger this if any NPCs required to progress are killed (again, you have to go out of your way to do this since Gordon automatically lowers his gun when facing a friendly NPC). In the original game, you get a typical "status report"-style message chastising you for your "failure to preserve mission-critical personnel"). In Episode One, as you are not being employed by the G-Man anymore, the game simply states that "Alyx died" if she falls in combat. Losing your vehicle in any of the games (especially weird after you aren't being specifically controlled by a status-reporting G-Man anymore). Letting Dr. Breen get away during the finale. Jumping off a cliff and into the water in the Highway 17 chapter ("Demonstration of exceedingly poor judgement"). If you fail in Episode Two, you get a Vortigaunt-styled message, reflecting the fact that the G-Man is no longer controlling you, like if you fail to defend the Resistance's portal-closing rocket from the Striders ("the Magnusson's misgivings about the Freeman were completely justified.")

The original, of course, cannot shoot grenades. As in the first game, the shotgun is based on the always popular SPAS-12. While it does look like it boasts two barrels on top of each other, the lower tube is actually the magazine, which makes the in-game gun's ability to fire two shells simultaneously somewhat strange. The pistol this time around is another H&K weapon, the Match version of the USP pistol. Oddly, the real thing had been discontinued by the time the first game came out, much less by the time this game is actually set. It's also much less accurate than the Glock from the first game was.

So what if we name a de-fanged brain-devouring parasite after her... Hedy Lamarr is probably known even better for being one of the first women ever that appeared fully naked in a movie (Extase, a Czechoslovak film directed by Gustav Machaty in 1932). Naming a pet headcrab after her can be viewed as way more disturbing than the previous reason. Dr. Breen's name may or may not be a reference to Ã†on Flux as the people of antagonist Trevor Goodchild's nation of Bregna are called "Breens". His name is also similar to notorious rapist and pedophile Walter Breen, husband of Marion Zimmer Bradley. The Combine are actually based on the hallucinations of Chief Bromden from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The monstrous, imperialistic, mind-controlling alien cyborgs he describes in the book are even called The Combine. Who else is known as Father Grigori and has a habit of not dying? An obscure visual shout-out: Some of the Resistance graffiti shows oranges and lemons. This is a reference to the British children's poem "Oranges and Lemons", as it was used in the book Nineteen Eighty-Four. Word of God states that the "Consoling Couple" is a Shout-Out to Honey and Darling from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The Striders' design may be based off a machine/alien from The War of the Worlds: The way Dr. Kleiner says "Great Scott" is similar to another scientist famous for saying that phrase. There also happens to be a box of plutonium under Dr. Kleiner's desk.

Break open a crate with low health, and there's a higher chance that it will drop health kits or batteries; if you're out of ammo, the same crate may drop the ammo you need instead. Grenades thrown by Combine Overwatch troops have a longer fuse than ones thrown by the player, giving you a slightly larger window to get away from the grenade, or to toss it back. Whenever you encounter enemies that are only vulnerable to the rocket launcher, there will be a crate nearby that provides endlessly respawning rockets, as otherwise it would be impossible to destroy the enemy in question if you ran out. In Episode Two, when the player has to drive around to defend the rocket from Striders, a radar is installed to show which direction the car is, should they get separated. Combine soldiers and Civil Protection officers will occasionally drop health vials upon death if you're low on HP.

Antlion Guards are also fast and tough, but their dependence on melee ramming makes them more of a Bullfight Boss. The Hunter Choppers, who instead of being Heavies like the Hunters or Boss in Mook Clothing like the Guards, are straight bosses themselves. They are far superior to any other vehicle or Synth the Combine can field. They fly, move extremely fast, can eat up much more damage than an APC, and come armed with an unerringly accurate and powerful pulse machine gun and a seemingly unlimited supply of mines. Fortunately, they're rare (only two are encountered in the whole series thus far, three if you count the one in the playable cut beta episode Lost Coast), and you're fortunate enough to encounter while they're on their own and you've already killed all mooks prior to fighting them.

One example of this is when you finally escape Ravenholm via the mineshaft, where the player is likely sick and tired of fighting hordes of zombies and Headcrabs, and as you exit towards the fresh morning there's the dreaded sound of a single Poison Headcrab coming up behind you as your sendoff.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_df11acbe	type	Artificial Brilliance
Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_df11acbe	comment	Artificial Brilliance: Half-Life 2 often appears to have bad AI - enemies that just stand there shooting at you. However, the AI is actually pretty good - it's the level design which often doesn't make the most of it. Half-Life 2 Combine soldiers are programmed to use squad tactics to try and eliminate the player effectively, but in the tight corridors that a lot of the game takes place in, this can't be well demonstrated. One clear example of them acting intelligently is during the level "Highway 17", when you obtain the Crossbow; the game then gives you a clear target to shoot on the gas station's sign, and from there the player can observe the mooks running for cover to escape the sniper sightline. The Combine Soldiers and Civil Protection mooks can also flank you from the sides or from behind if you stay in one place. And if you try to block their path, or close the door of the building that they were supposed to go through, they will attempt to find alternate routes or other doors to enter and exit from the same building. Even the zombies in Ravenholm have this pathfinding strategy too, especially the Fast variants who can leap from rooftops. The typical Combine squad consists of two submachine-gunners, a shotgunner, and a rifleman. Their tactic is simple but effective: the two sub gunners will try to flank the player and lay down suppressive fire while the rifleman directly targets the player and the shotgunner charges the player until he's within range, at which point he opens fire as well. This practice is easy to pick up on and counter, and is not helped by the fact that Combine soldiers usually have to stand still to shoot, but it shows that Overwatch troops in-universe are trained (or perhaps programmed) for coordinated, squad-based attacks. Hunters are even better when it comes to the AI department - they suspiciously often take pathfinding decisions that result in at least one of the Hunters in the pack ending up ahead of a fleeing prey, cutting off the escape route. And if you try running them over with your vehicle, they'll act as though they're about to be hit, and then jump to the side at the last minute. In the Final Battle of Episode Two, Hunters escort Striders into battle to make sure the big guys make it to their objectives in one piece. Hunters normally focus exclusively on Gordon, but if they so much as spot a Magnusson Device they'll instantly target it to the exclusion of everything else, making it next to impossible to take down a Strider while its Hunter escort is still active. Gunships demonstrate an instance of this that actually surprised the developers. They decide what to shoot with their auto-cannons by way of determining what the current biggest threat they can see is. Normally this is supposed to mean they will prioritize the player over everything else, but there are two crucial bits: one, distance also counts towards what they consider the biggest threat, and two, rocket-propelled grenades are physics objects that can be shot down and are as such accounted for by the gunship AI. So, when the player fires a rocket at a gunship, it realizes that that rocket is an even bigger threat than the player themselves and shoots it down, thus the need to fire at them from behind or circle the rocket around to avoid their fire. Gunships also display remarkable teamwork when deployed in groups of two or more on the rare occasions it happens, with one of them exclusively acting as a mobile point defense system against missiles while the other(s) focus their fire on any enemy forces they can see. This makes fighting two gunships simultaneously a hell of a lot more difficult than one would expect it to be because getting a solid missile hit in without getting smeared across the closest wall turns into a real challenge, and depending on the difficulty you need at least three hits to take down one gunship. Antlions will attempt to push you towards sand, which will cause more of their kind to spawn and attack you.

Half-Life 2 (Video Game) / int_e5066b68	comment	Speaking of Episode One, it's a textbook inversion, as you start the game with the supercharged Gravity Gun that was the 11th-Hour Superpower of the main game, then after you leave the Citadel it discharges and you acquire the other weapons in a descending order of power, ending with the crowbar.

Episode Two expands upon it by actually introducing the Advisors, aliens that not only bear considerable resemblance to Brainbugs but can also be observed punching a proboscis of sorts into a hapless human's neck to do... something to him. Advisors for Guild Navigators. Striders look a lot like the machines from The War of the Worlds.

Episode Two ends on a Cliffhanger that, yes, deals with the immediate crisis but still leaves the larger conflicts of the game completely unresolved and a huge number of plot angles and character arcs unfinished. The worst thing about it is that the main Half-Life 2 ending before the Episodes — while it's abrupt and leaves much unresolved — wasn't specifically written to hand off to the next Episode and continue the story.

After Valve noticed playtesters struggling during an underground chase section in Episode Two because of their tendency to leave the light on and as such drain their sprint meter faster, the flashlight was split off to a separate meter like in the first game, which lasts just under two minutes and recharges to full in two seconds.

In Episode Two they are destroyed using the just-introduced Magnusson device, apparently for no other reason than so that Valve could claim to have one new weapon in the game. Granted, you still can use the rocket launcher, but it's too time-consuming for a time-critical mission, and ammo for it isn't available in enough quantities for so many striders.
