Rocket-Life 2

Play the whole Half-Life 2 campaign, and press V (controller: Back) at any moment to swap Gordon Freeman for a car that drives exactly like Rocket League's.

In the car

• Rocket League handling: throttle curve, boost, jump, double jump, flips, air control, air roll, powerslide and wall riding.
• Supersonic hits demolish Combine soldiers, Metro Cops, zombies and antlions. Slower hits bump them. Friendly characters never get hurt, and bosses take heavy damage instead.
• Boost pads line the streets and rooms of every map: small pads give +12 boost, big pads +100.
• Rocket League's chase camera, plus a target cam (Mouse 3 / Y) that locks onto the nearest enemy, like ball cam.
• Rocket League's own engine, boost, jump, flip, landing, boost-pad and demolition sounds, taken from your own Rocket League the first time you press Play.
• The car's body is Half-Life 2's own buggy, loaded from your Half-Life 2.

On foot

Everything is normal Half-Life 2. Doors, buttons, ladders, pickups and weapons need Gordon, so hop out when the story asks for it.
