2Heartwarming moments in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''.
3----
4* Freeman, soon after being [[FishOutOfTemporalWater dropped into this nightmarish post-apocalyptic world]], is pulled aside by a Combine metro cop and taken to an interrogation room, where the trooper shuts off the cameras and doffs his helmet to [[TheReveal reveal his face.]]
5-->'''Barney''': [[BrickJoke About]] [[VideoGame/HalfLife that beer I owed you...]]
6** After Doctor Kleiner's teleporter fails to get Gordon to Black Mesa East, forcing him to start his journey on foot, Barney rushes outside just in time to toss Gordon his old crowbar.
7* The fact that, even after twenty years, humanity is still fighting against the odds.
8* Alyx greets Gordon with a huge hug at the start of ''Episode One.''
9** Let's be honest--virtually every single interaction with Alyx is an exercise in Heartwarming. She's just that nice.
10* Father Grigori, the only known survivor of the Ravenholm incident, voluntarily stayed in Ravenholm to MercyKill the headcrab zombies.
11* At the very end of the Ravenholm Mines, there is a minecart trap that includes a spinning blade, which you use to kill the remaining zombies before escape. If we think about this, Father Grigori managed to swim through the Ravenholm mines, climb over fences that Gordon ''can't'', and fight the infinite horde of headcrabs, all twice just to help any rebels that come by and to tend to his flock. He could have left, seeing how close he was, but he didn't. Also counts as Awesome.
12* The original credits theme for ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' popping up in ''Half-Life 2's'' credits can be pretty heartwarming for someone who finished both games.
