The sequel to what many call the greatest shooter ever, Half Life 2 again
seats you in the pants of Gordon Freeman. Gordon, an M.I.T. graduate with
a doctorate in Theoretical Physics, is not your typical action hero.
He is, for all intents and purposes, a nerd. But what he lacks in sheer
testosterone, YOU make up for.
Half Life 2 begins a number of years after the ending of
Half Life. Having been corrected on how long that has been, Im
not sure if revealing it would ruin the game or not.
The only things that have remained the same are yourself, and the G-Man.
The G-Man is an enigma. He can move in and out of your world with
effortless ease, and always seems to be twelve steps ahead of you.
If you recall from Half Lifes finale, the G-Man had given you a
choice. In a manner of speaking. You could either follow him
through a teleportation ring and accept a job or stay behind
in the border world Xen to fight an endless stream of alien Grunts.
The correct “choice” was to accept his proposal. This left you
stranded in a limbo like dimension. Until now.
From out of the void the G-Mans all too familiar, halting speech reaches you.
It seems the time has come for your, as he puts it, limitless potential
to be tapped. For some reason that is beyond your scope, you have been
chosen to once again be the right man in the wrong place.

2) Getting to know Gordon
This time around Gordon has a few new tricks to pull out of his miraculous
HEV suit.
An upgraded version of your suit, dubbed the Mark V, has a number of
improvements over the old one. Lets go over them, as knowing when to
use each ability has tremendous advantages.
– The Zoom Function
Contrary to the demos shown at E3, you CAN NOT fire while zoomed in. The
only weapon in the game that allows for zoomed firing is the new Crossbow.
The HEV suits zoom is merely for scouting purposes. Dont overlook that.
Just because you cant zoom in with your pistol doesnt mean the zoom is
useless. To use the Zoom function, press and hold the “Z” key.
*Note: Thanks to Brakman 18 for pointing out that the Zoom Function
can be used with Vehicle weapons.
