===Chapters=== The gameplay, like the first ''Half-Life'', is divided into titled chapters: * '''Point Insertion''' - Gordon arrives weaponless and with no HEV suit, meeting up with old friend [[Barney Calhoun]] from Black Mesa. Barney has infiltrated Civil Protection, for the resistance. * '''"A Red Letter Day"''' - Gordon meets [[Alyx Vance]] (daughter of [[Eli Vance|Dr. Eli Vance]]). Alyx takes him to [[Isaac Kleiner|Dr. Isaac Kleiner]], Gordon's MIT mentor and Black Mesa colleague. Kleiner attempts to teleport Gordon to Eli's laboratory, [[Black Mesa East]], at the city's outskirts, but Dr. Kleiner's pet [[headcrab]] "Lamarr" wrecks the machine. Gordon must find another way to reach the lab. * '''Route Kanal''' - While navigating the city's canals, Gordon finds resistance bases populated by both humans and [[Vortigaunt]]s, who are now allies. After being helped through an underground railroad system, Gordon is provided an air boat, allowing him greater expediency. * '''Water Hazard''' - The air boat is spotted by the Combine and pursued by a hunter-killer assault helicopter. At another resistance base, a Vortigaunt affixes a weapon to the craft capable of downing the 'copter. * '''Black Mesa East''' - Gordon arrives at the lab and meets Dr. [[Judith Mossman]]. Alyx gives him a weapon called the Gravity Gun and instructs him on its use. Suddenly the lab is attacked by the Combine, forcing Gordon to escape along an old tunnel leading to [[Ravenholm]]. * '''"We Don't Go To Ravenholm..."''' - Gordon quickly discovers why Ravenholm was abandoned: the town has been overrun with headcrabs and "zombies". [[Father Grigori]], a slightly-insane priest and likely the last human resident of Ravenholm, helps him survive the deadly town and escorts him to an abandoned mine which eventually leads to the dockyards outside City 17. * '''Highway 17''' - Gordon finds another resistance base under assault by Combine troops. Alyx tells him that Eli has been captured and is being held in [[Nova Prospekt]], an old maximum-security prison. Gordon travels the coast road in a dune buggy towards Nova Prospekt. The journey is made more difficult by the fact that it's spawning season for the insect-like [[antlion]]s, which swarm the area. * '''Sandtraps''' - Gordon arrives at the Lighthouse Point resistance base and must continue the journey to Nova Prospekt on foot. Antlions lie hidden underground, emerging to attack at the slightest vibration. Gordon must move across rocks and avoid the loose sand that alerts them. After narrowly defeating an enormous "Antlion Guard", Gordon is given ''bugbait'': a gland filled with pheromones that pacifies the smaller Antlions. * '''Nova Prospekt''' - Finally reaching the old prison, Gordon searches within for clues to Dr. Vance's whereabouts. The antlions' assistance helps to even the overwhelming odds against him. * '''Entanglement''' - Gordon joins forces with Alyx again, and together they find both Eli and Dr. Judith Mossman, who is apparently a Combine agent. While distracted by a Combine assault, Mossman teleports herself and Eli into the Citadel, the Combine's base of operations. Gordon and Alyx barely manage to teleport themselves to Dr. Kleiner's lab before the teleporter explodes. * '''Anticitizen One''' - A strange malfunction in the equipment has caused them to arrive at Dr. Kleiner's lab a week after they teleported. Meanwhile, Gordon's struggles against the Combine have brought new life to the resistance, plunging City 17 into chaos. Resistance fighters led by Gordon travel towards the Citadel to free Dr. Vance while Alyx helps Dr. Kleiner escape the lab. * '''"Follow Freeman!"''' - After rescuing Barney, who has been pinned down by snipers, Gordon shuts down a suppressor field blocking access to the Citadel. A pack of incredibly powerful Combine war-machines, the [[The Combine#Strider|Striders]], attack until they are finally destroyed by [[Rocket propelled grenade|RPG]] fire. * '''Our Benefactors''' - Gordon enters the Citadel through an underground passage. Faced with a dead end, he is forced to enter a rail-driven containment apparatus. After a long trip through the Citadel, all his weapons are destroyed by a Dark Energy-powered "confiscation field". However, the Gravity Gun survives (probably due to its [[zero-point energy|zero-point]] nature) and is made incredibly powerful. It can now manipulate organic matter, instantly killing Combine forces, and its lift strength is greatly increased. Armed with only the new Gravity Gun, Gordon wreaks havoc upon the Citadel until he is again faced with a dead end. Once more, the only way to progress is to voluntarily enter a containment apparatus. * '''Dark Energy''' - The device brings him face-to-face with Dr. Breen, who takes the Gravity Gun while Gordon is immobilized. Dr. Judith Mossman is with Breen, and he summons Eli and Alyx, who are being held in similar devices. As Breen threatens Gordon, Judith finally turns against him: she had only "betrayed" the resistance to get an opportunity to infiltrate Breen's inner circle. He manages to escape and flees towards a huge teleporter that will take him to the Combine's world. Freed, Gordon and Alyx pursue him and destroy the teleporter, triggering a massive explosion.
