In the world of Half Life 2 - there are alot of enemies.
This is a long list of them:
- Combine Soldiers: These hapless souls are simply humans who have
given up on life and work for the Combine themselves. They range from
easy to hard, depending on what weapon they are using. They use all
sorts of weapons: Pistols, Energy rods, fists, Shotguns, and Pulse Rifles as
well as Magnums and Grenades.

- Combine Elites: All of them use Pulse Rifles as well as the
secondary function on them. They also have reinforced white armor
and can take a beating.
Difficulty 5-5.
- Headcrabs: As annoying as usual. Hops up, Slice, dice, hide in
boxes, corners, come off the faces of Zombies. Their difficulty
is based on their element of surprise. Difficulty: 2-5.
- Black Headcrabs: These tough guysdrops your health to 1 in one
bite and take a little to kill. However, your suit gives you
a neurotoxin that brings your health back to whatever it was.

with them and they drop you to one.
