Half-Life 2 (abreviado como HL2) define uma nova referência em jogos com realismo e capacidade de resposta surpreendentes. Com a então nova tecnologia Source, o Half-Life 2 apresenta os personagens mais sofisticados já vistos no jogo, IA avançada, gráficos impressionantes e jogabilidade física. Esse foi o primeiro jogo que exigiu a instalação do Steam quando foi lançado em 2004.
Half-Life 2 é a sequência do jogo Half-Life de 1998. Uma sequência de Half-Life 2 foi lançada em 2006, intitulada Half-Life 2: Episode One. Um prequel de realidade virtual foi lançado em 2020, intitulado Half-Life: Alyx.
Half-Life 2 foi portado posteriormente para o console Xbox em 2005, bem como para o Xbox 360 e PlayStation 3 em 2007, empacotado sob o título The Orange Box.
O jogo tem um número considerável de quebra-cabeças de física que não são comuns em jogos como Doom, Call of Duty e Halo. Até mesmo o Half-Life tem menos quebra-cabeças.

Limitações/Bugs
- Para mais bugs do Half-Life 2, veja isso página do GitHub .
Esta seção lista apenas vários bugs que são comumente encontrados.
☒ Unresolved Bugs (Bugs não arrumados)
The current version of Half-Life 2 in Steam lacks LDR lighting on multiple game levels (starting from d1_eli_01 until the end of Nova Prospekt). This means that if HDR is disabled (by selecting None or Bloom only in HDR settings), mat_fullbright will be set to 1, disabling lighting and making everything bright and flat (relevant GitHub issue). Because of this, HDR is required to play the game.
This issue is not affected in previous version of the game (which use older engines and are compiled in LDR only), and is fixed in Half-Life 2: Update.
☑ Resolved bugs
There was a bug with the Dropship's gun that was unable to turn, this makes the Sandtraps chapter much easier.[1] Presents since console release on X360/PS3 (remains unfixed) and since 2010 engine update on PC.
Fixed in the current Steam version since 2022's the Steam Deck update of Half-Life 2. Some third-party mods may or may not include this fix; this page details how to fix it in your mod.
Other limitations

As of May 26, 2010, the branch of Source under which Half-Life 2 originally ran on Source 2006 no longer exists on Steam, and subsequently replaced by the updated Source 2009 (which later was upgraded again to Source 2013. Some old mods which base themselves directly on the game (as opposed to Source SDK Base) are unlikely to work any more.
This also meant that support for running Half-Life 2 on Windows 9x/ME/2000 have been also dropped.
Technical notes
- In the 2006 version of the game, being underwater at d1_canals_01, or in some area on that same map can cause performance drop. Fixed since 2010 with the engine update.
- 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.
- The Half-Life 2 Collectors Edition, which ships with the 2004 version of the game, does not require Steam to run or update (similar to latest version), which meant that it will run on older systems with Windows 2000 and earlier.
- The 64-bit Windows version of Half-Life 2, which existed around 2005-2006, is no longer available.
