"Welcome. Welcome to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers."

Template:Game name (2004) defines a new benchmark in gaming with startling realism and responsiveness. Powered by Template:Game name technology, Half-Life 2 features the most sophisticated in-game characters ever witnessed, advanced AI, stunning graphics and physical gameplay.

Half-Life 2 is the successor to Template:Game name (1998) which was created with Template:Game name.

Note.pngNote:Although Source mods are often described as being "for Half-Life 2", they actually use Source SDK Base. SDK Base is available to anyone who owns any Valve Source game and provides all of Half-Life 2's content (except maps and vcd scenes) on a static branch of the engine.
Note.pngNote:As of May 26 2010, the branch of Source under which Half-Life 2 originally ran no longer exists on Steam. Very, very old mods which base themselves directly on the game (as opposed to Source SDK Base) are unlikely to work any more!
