Half-Life 2

Half-Life 2 is Valve's landmark 2004 first-person shooter set in a dystopian Earth occupied by an alien empire. Players assume the role of Gordon Freeman, a physicist fighting against authoritarian rule alongside the resistance movement.

The game has seen renewed modding activity following a major Steam leak that exposed internal Valve assets. Modders have leveraged this material to introduce previously unreleased content into Half-Life 2, including weapon designs originally conceived for the planned Episode Three. These additions represent actual designs from Valve's development archives rather than fan interpretations, giving the community access to canonical assets that never made it into an official release.
