A few levels require the player to navigate buggy-type vehicles. Setpieces in the game include co-ordinated assaults on enemy bases, fighting gigantic boss enemies, bringing down aircrafts with the rocket launcher, and others. One of the most notable weapons is the gravity gun, with which Gordon can pick up objects, hold them in the gun's anti-gravity field, then hurl them at the enemy with great force. To defend himself, Gordon has a range of weapons available: from the iconic crowbar for close-quarter fighting, through pistols and rifles, up to grenades and a rocket launcher. Policemen and foot soldiers work along with helicopters, gunships and gigantic walking machines to hunt him down. Gordon's enemies, apart from alien wildlife which found its way to Earth, are mainly Combine forces, which utilize a variety of firearms, gadgets and vehicles. The game features a realistic physics system: Gordon can pick up objects and toss them freely, and many of the puzzles are physics-based - for example, at one point the player has to weigh down a seesaw with bricks at one end to turn it into a ramp. On his way, he'll encounter a few friendly characters, but also fight dangerous foes. The player guides Gordon Freeman through the City 17 and the wilderness that surrounds it. Half-Life 2 is a linear first-person shooter with light puzzle-solving elements and many setpieces, similar to its predecessor in concept. Gordon is soon brought into a resistance group, and makes a seemingly futile attempt to bring down the Combine and liberate the Earth. Meanwhile, Gordon Freeman, the man who was at the center of the events that took place shortly before the rise of the Combine, awakens from his stasis and is inserted into a train to City 17 by the mysterious G-man. Earth is turning into a grim, oppressive police state. An energy field prevents humans from procreating, and no new children are born. Wallace Breen, a human scientist, rules the city on behalf of his new masters. A Combine Citadel is erected in City 17, a town in Eastern Europe reminiscent of World War II ghettos.
