Half-Life 2: Deathmatch takes the fast-paced fragging of a traditional shooter and supercharges it with the physics-driven sandbox of the Half-Life 2 universe. Matches move quickly, but the game stands out because every object and environmental interaction can become a weapon or a tool - from hurling barrels to improvising cover. The result is combat that feels unpredictable and creative rather than purely mechanical.

Half-Life 2 drops you into a world shattered by the Seven Hour War. Humanity has fallen under the rule of a mysterious alien regime, and Earth’s resources are all but exhausted. Once again you step into the shoes of theoretical physicist Gordon Freeman, wielding his iconic crowbar as he fights to reverse the damage unleashed at Black Mesa and protect the few allies still standing.
