Half Life 2

Developer: Valve | Released: 2004

Awakening

Enjoyable gameplay which flows similar to that of the original game, with a few dull fights however. Five chapters in different locations.

Be a Rebel Part One

Not a very good map, with bad design but with a lot of action, although placed badly.

Be a Rebel Part Two

Worse than the first one in everyway

Tags:

Calamity

Despite some of the flaws present which drag it down, Calamity is still worth checking out for the enjoyable first half and offers a good design approach to an industrial district straying from the typical City 17 style.
