  It spul waard ûntwikkele tagelyk mei Valve harren Steam software. It yntrodusearre de Source engine en, troch Steam, it earste single-player fideospul wêrby online produktaktivearring nedich wie. [4][5]
  Lyk as by syn foargonger, krige Half-Life 2 nei-oan-unanym byfal. [6][7] It waard priizge foar syn avansearre 'physics': de realistyske natuerkundich dynamyske simulaasje fan it bewegen fan foarwerpen yn de spulwrâld, de computer animeasje, lûd , de AI, de graphics en it ferhaal.
