Half-life 2 Airboat Walkthrough
Kelly Bailey composed numerous short pieces of original incidental music that are interspersed throughout Half-Life 2. Several tracks from the Half-Life soundtrack were re-titled and carried over, while some were remixed.
Overview
The limited-edition Half-Life 2 'Gold' package included, among other exclusive extras, a CD soundtrack. Although the CD contained several exclusive tracks, it did not include all of the music used in the game.
In-game, energetic techno tracks tend to back significant battles, atmospheric synthesizer pieces enhance key plot and exploration moments and reinforce feelings of adventure, isolation, or melancholy in the player.
In September 2014, to celebrate the release of Steam's Music Player, Valve re-released the Soundtrack for Half-Life 2 and its Episodes as free DLC available to those who own the games.[1]
