Yes

I tried in hl1, there is a room where you're forced to take damage from freezing which makes it impossible. I'm gonna try beating hl2 without taking damage

Honestly, I dont think it is possible unless you make a sh*t ton of quick saves; reload the saves when you get shot

[Hank Scorpio]

or just memorize the enemy placement, and try to dodge those extremely powerful enemies like Hunty the Hunter Chopper and those Strider boys

Quicksaving is the greatest ally in this no damage run. Dodging the hunter chopper will be pure nightmare for this challenge

[Hank Scorpio]

yeah, i guess just try to bunnyhop where you can if you wanna strait up avoid the enemies altogether :D

You take damage when the metrocops hit you right before you meet alyx.

But that is scripted. So if I count that as a damage, that would be impossible to beat so definitely not gonna count that.

Bhop, that's one way to dodge the chopper btw.

I thought that the metrocop-aylx scene didnt make you take damage? But if it does, and you have Suit energy would that be counted as damage even though youre health doesnt go down?

ABH is cheating macro and spamming.

The OP didn't specify cheating/not cheating only beating without taking damage. 1 rnd is damage regardless of how minimal. There're too many BGs in any one area to avoid damage let alone some of the manhat swarms and not enough ammo and armorto cover GF. Never mind the Zs, crabs, ALs, speeders, spiders, choppers, gunships, APCs, walkers and hunters.

But don't let that dismal outlook stop YOU from trying

I'd count suit damage

The only cheating is when I use console commands. ABH is pretty normal.

well that would make everything cheating because all keybinds can be created / accessed through the console

i would just say anything that can be done without 'sv_cheats 1' counts as 'without cheating'

you could have a separate category for with/without scripts, just like speedruns do

but on the original point, is hl2 doable with no damage? i really doubt it unless it's highly segmented
