Entropy Zero 2 is a Source Mod released in 2022.
This is the direct sequel to the first opus published in 2017.

About a year after the well-conducted operation in City 10, the Bad Cop is back in action.
Unit 3650 has become a Combine Elite Soldier,
He's now the instrument of the fight against the Resistance.
After the tragic death of the Earth Administrator,
the Combine Advisors entrust the former Metrocop with a mission of capital importance:
capture Judith Mossman in order to obtain her valuable information,
and put a stop to Rebel activities once and for all.
By wanting to prove his faith and his allegiance to the Universal Union,
the anti-hero makes this quest a personal matter.

This second adventure is thrilling and full of surprising twists and turns,
the storytelling is well thought out.
The game brilliantly mixes sublime, diverse and unexpected environments:
the graphics are pretty, as are the effects and lighting.
The artistic direction is a work of art, it is both innovative and sumptuous:
the settings are original in a well-known universe.
The atmosphere is exceptional, the developers have managed to mix science fiction and horror with a touch of humor and a lot of fan service.
The maps and game mechanics are well designed, and faithful to the spirit of Valve.

The staging is epic and explosive, well served by dynamic fights.
Thanks to his newly acquired rank, the Bad Cop can give orders to the Combine Soldiers.
They obey him at will: they can, for example, attack or defend an area,
or activate a mechanism to let you advance.

I enjoyed the many references to the world of Valve games.
In addition, the developers have taken great liberties with the Half-Life saga,
whether in terms of settings, characters, creatures and many other areas.
Bad Cop may be a cold and implacable elite soldier,
but he is nonetheless not devoid of humor.
He sometimes says funny replies after a few kills, like Duke Dukem or Postal Dude,
even going so far as to reference other Valve games as well as famous memes!
I'm sure you'll appreciate the endearing character that Wilson is, but I won't tell you any more!

The weapons available to you are numerous, and are a mix of classics and new prototypes.
As for enemies to exterminate without warning,
you will encounter Rebels and many other creatures...
"Well, I'm really not at liberty to say", as the G-Man said.

The soundtrack is a true acoustic delight,
worthy of the compositions of Kelly Bailey or Mike Morasky.
Indeed, the music evokes both mystery and science fiction, without forgetting raw violence.
Some tracks are very Rock and very powerful, others are much calmer and gloomy.

Entropy Zero 2 is an absolute masterpiece among Source Mods as it borders on perfection.
"Impossible to describe with our limited vocabulary!"
Wallace Breen's words perfectly describe how I feel about this game.
In fact, I think it's the best thing to happen to the Source Engine since Black Mesa.
I'm even ashamed to play it for free, that's saying something! Such work should have a price!
My sincere congratulations to the developers of this masterpiece!
