The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around them, from the physical environment to the behaviors even the emotions of both friends and enemies.

Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named 'Best PC Game Ever' by PC Gamer, and launches a franchise with more than eight million retail units sold worldwide.

HALF-LIFE sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Of course, in terms of optimization, it really carries an incomplete vibe. It opens up a lot of possibilities for players to see how the game could’ve been developed from that point, and how it arrived at the officially released version everyone knows today. With Half-LStoryline Port Mod, you get to experience an earlier version of the hit 2004 Valve FPS game. In some cases, enemies exhibit erratic behavior such as rushing or not detecting the player. You will find collision issues in certain areas, leaving you to pass through floors or walls. Also, expect the levels to contain a couple of bugs of varying degrees. Since this is a leaked map pack, it does not contain the same continuity and transition as the officially released version. The AI in this version is also different, leading to some wonky monster behavior. A fun detail to check out as you replay this different version of HL2 is that some enemies here look different from their final version. The maps in this version only bear slight differences compared to the released version, applying to the textures, set designs, and even monster spawns and locations. These maps comprise the mod, in their original 2003 glory. The content was released, including early versions of the stages players know and love today. Some fans got too excited, hacked into Valve servers, and found files used for the still-in-development sequel. With the original Half-Life game being a monumental hit, players were eagerly waiting for its sequel-and Half-LStoryline Port Mod is a good throwback to it.
