Dystopia ist eine Half-Life 2 Modifikation in einer futuristischen High-Tech-Welt, in der Cyberpunks und Firmen-Söldner gegeneinander antreten. Dabei ist die Welt in zwei Ebenen unterteilt: Die "physikalisch echte" Welt und der Cyberspace. In den Cyberspace gelangt ihr mit Hilfe von Computer-Terminals. In der virtuellen Welt könnt ihr z.B. Programme starten, um Effekte in der echten Welt auszulösen. Dystopia is a Half-Life 2 modifcation which places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punks or Corp Mercenaries the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace. Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the world's network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to hack into systems linked to the physical world, fight off enemy hackers or defend critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two.
