Half-Life 2 is a game about the continuation of the story of the great theoretical physicist Gordon Freeman, who opened “Pandora’s Box” in the first part and let hordes of monsters onto Earth. But that’s not about that now.
A little about the main character himself: still silent, still in the same suit as in the first part, carries with him a whole arsenal of weapons (which he handles like a specially trained fighter).
In the second part, we will not shred only aliens and, sometimes, special forces, as in the first, we will mainly destroy combine harvesters, occasionally their equipment and, literally, 3 types of enemies of alien origin: Vortigaunt guards (rarely encountered, hit hard, difficult to kill), antlions (more common, weaker, not so tenacious) and, of course, the well-known headcrabs, I think, do not need a description.
HL2 itself does not end the plot of the entire series, there are 2 episodes (the first and second, respectively).
The scene changed from the Black Mesa base to city streets, slums, train stations, research centers, sewers, etc.
The game has become more diverse. For example, they give you control of a car, a ride on a hovercraft, frequent changes of scenery, the ability to kill enemies with interior items, and just any trash at hand, using a Gravity gun.
So, we’ve sorted out the game and mechanics, but what about the plot? He is here, of course. Our goal is to rid the world of Brin’s tyranny, with which the local rebels help us. But whether they managed to do it or not, you will find out for yourself. Good luck!
