Chapter 3: Lowlife
After their getaway train crashes, Gordon and Alyx are forced to escape City 17 on foot. They must navigate an underground parking lot full of Xen enemies, who have overtaken the city due to the critical damage sustained by the Citadel. Along the way, they encounter a deadly new type of zombie who has a penchant for grenades.

Notes:
- Though Alyx has rapidly regenerating health, it IS possible for her to die if she gets swarmed by enemies or if Gordon doesn't help her out during fights
- The flashlight in HL2EP1 has a longer battery life than the one in HL2, likely for gameplay balance reasons (particularly for this section of the game)
- Picking up a flare will automatically turn off the HEV suit flashlight (2:25)
- After shooting the lock at 3:20, it is possible to complete the game without firing any more bullets, and only using explosives, the crowbar or Gravity gun. Doing so nets the achievement "The One Free Bullet"
- Zombines (first encountered at 4:50) have much more health than most other zombie types (with the exception of the Poison Zombie) and can withstand a double barrel shotgun blast on Hard
- If zombies manage to get within melee range of Alyx, she will often perform several unique animations to defend herself (as shown at 6:56)
- If Gordon walks far from Alyx and leaves her in the dark, she will call out to Gordon and tell him to come back (as shown at 15:06)


Trivia:
- The vent competition between Gordon and Barney (2:08) is referenced in Black Mesa as an easter egg in the chapter "Gonarch's Lair"
- Alyx will sometimes pretend to be a zombie in pitch black areas to spook Gordon (the dialogue is shown at 3:45 but she doesn't actually say it)
- The name "Zombine" is a pun on "Combine" and "Zombie"...get it? Heh heh...heh. O---kay... (4:56)
- Zombines vocalize using Combine radio chatter and terminology. For instance, at 5:17 the Zombine says "Biotics..."
- Removing the headcrab from a Zombine reveals that the entire head of the Combine soldier has been removed, leaving only the lower jaw (6:43)
- If Alyx kills the poison headcrabs at 7:20, she will say "I hate these things"
