Half-Life 2, the sequel to Half-Life, is a first-person shooter video game and a signature title in the Half-Life series. It is singleplayer, story-driven, science fiction, and linear. Developed by Valve Corporation, it was initially released on November 16, 2004, following a protracted five-year,[4] $40 million[5] development cycle, during which a substantial part of the project was leaked and distributed on the Internet.[6]
The game was developed alongside Source and Steam. It introduced the game engine and, because of Steam, is the first video game to require online product activation.[7][8]
Like its predecessor, Half-Life 2 was met with near-unanimous critical acclaim.[9][10] It was praised for its advanced physics, animation, sound, AI, graphics, and narrative. The game won 39 "Game of the Year" awards,[11] and several publications have named it "Game of the Decade".[12][13][14][15] Over 6.5 million copies of Half-Life 2 were sold at retail by December 3, 2008, making it a bestselling PC game.[16] This figure does not include the significant number of sales through Steam.[17] It has since been revealed that the game sold 12 million copies as of February 9, 2011.[18]
