Valve's Half-Life 2 is now playable as a browser game, as reported by Tweak Town. You can play it here.

The browser version was developed by Slqnt and 98006, and it reportedly took three months to develop, but it offers the complete game to play with only a few graphical issues. Still, it's an impressive feat to get one of the best games from the 2000s to run in a browser with all of the gameplay as you remember it.

Slqnt's website launches the game in a window with full mouse-and-keyboard controls. Due to the size of the game, the initial load can take a little while depending on your connection.

Half-Life 2's campaign remains one of the most influential in PC gaming and FPS history. It offered a cinematic campaign full of action, stealth, puzzle-solving, and innovative gameplay. And let's not forget the use of physics and the introduction of the Gravity Gun.
