Your trek through the dilapidated city continues. You strategically make your way past one hazard just to run into the next – and then find yourself far beneath the streets as you press onward…

As Dr. Gordon Freeman, you were last seen exiting City 17 with Alyx Vance as the Citadel erupted amidst a storm of unknown proportions. In Episode Two, you must battle and race against Combine forces as you traverse the White Forest to deliver a crucial information packet stolen from the Citadel to an enclave of fellow resistance scientists.

Note: this version is the updated Tales from the Source map from October 2021 and is now packaged as a Sourcemod.

A Combine tower lies in the middle of the forest, providing energy to all Combine units in the area. Its destruction would greatly benefit the Resistance. You find yourself in the shoes of Gordon Freeman, tasked with destroying the construction.

As zombies are running rampant in the streets of an unspecified city, the Combine tries to regain the upper hand and whole buildings turn to dust under the brute violence. With death lurking behind every corner, you have to navigate through this hazardous environment and try to find a way to escape…

This takes place during the uprising of City 17 and Barney, who is leading the resistance, spreads news all around to remind all citizens that Gordon Freeman has arrived. Playing as a rebel, your squad has suggested that you go ahead and grab any supplies while you’re on your way to the Citadel so you can assist the Freeman.
