Half-Life 2 is a game that was put into the gaming world eleven years ago on various different consoles. Players play as the scientist Gordon Freeman, the silent protagonist of the game. Along the way, players encounter many of the soon-to-be enemies. One part of the tutorial stage is where a combine policeman tells the player to throw away a can in a trash can but can throw it at the policeman unlocking an achievement in the Orange Box edition on Xbox 360. The player also meets key characters such as Barney (Michael Shapiro, Interpol Investigators), Alex Vance (Merle Dandridge, The Last of Us), G-Man, Dr. Eli Vance (Robert Guillaume, The Lion King), and Dr. Judith Mossman (Michelle Forbes, Orphan Black). The player also faces many enemies throughout the game including metro police, combine soldiers, zombies, zombines (Half-Life 2: Episodes 1 & 2), headcrabs, fast zombies, poison zombies, antlions, and antlion guardians. The combine (soldiers and police) are the backbone of the military that took Earth down in the Seven Hour War. They wield a variety of weapons ranging from a simple pistol to the powerful ARs and SMGs. Zombies are very deadly foes created from the headcrabs attaching to someone’s head. They include all zombies mentioned above including the zombine. Headcrabs are the creatures that make the zombies. There are only two types of them, normal and poison. Poison headcrabs are especially dangerous in that they inflict a poison attack bringing your health all the way down to 1. Antlions are creatures that come from the ground in packs. They are dangerous and hard to kill. The antlion guardian has extremely tough armor and takes a lot to kill them; be wary of that. The player also gets to use a variety of weapons in the game. The weapons are USP match (regular pistol), crowbar, .357 Magnum (powerful pistol), Spas 12 (shotgun), MP7 (SMG), Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle (AR2), Bugbait (allows antlions to become friendly, does not work on guardians), MK3A2 grenade, crossbow (only sniper weapon in game), and the Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator (gravity gun). All weapons in the game are very powerful at different points. The magnum’s and crossbow’s ammo are very scarce so use them wisely.
