Half-Life 2: Wars is a real time strategy (RTS) modification set in the Half-Life universe. Although development is in its early stages, much has already been implemented. 0.5 improves just about everything in Half-Life 2: Wars. In addition to new maps, upgraded AI, and basebuilding for both Resistance and Combine, the update features a whole host of upgrades to the game, such as unit sounds, balance and gameplay tweaks, better visuals, and a lot of other small improvements.

It now requires the Orange Box to play. This release is still singleplayer, but multiplayer has been in development for some time and is their focus for the next major update. You can play as both Combine and Resistance in 0.5.
