Half-Life 2 is officially 20 years old, and we're using this
milestone as an opportunity to celebrate the community of players
who have been enjoying it (or discovering it, or even re-discovering
it) since November 16, 2004.
The complete Half-Life 2
We created a new webpage to showcase all the updates in detail, but
here's a quick rundown of what's new:
Episodes One and Two are in the box. Half-Life 2 now includes the
complete Episode One and Episode Two expansions along with the base
game. They're accessible from the main menu, and you will
automatically advance to the next expansion after completing each
one.
Developers Commentary for Half-Life 2. While the Episodes have
always had commentary tracks, the base game never did... until now.
We got the team back to record three and a half hours of new
behind-the-scenes commentary for Half-Life 2.
Integrated Steam Workshop support. Browse, install, and play
user-created content for Half-Life 2 without ever leaving the game.
Look for it in the Extras menu!
Bug fixes and new graphics options. Visual pops, missing sprites,
and mismatched lighting introduced in updates over the years have
been scrubbed away. And we've added some settings to push the visual
fidelity of Half-Life 2 farther than was allowed in the original
release. |
