Valve Approved Half Life 2: Update

qwertywarrior

im DEFINITLY gonna play HL2 again for the 38420 time

http://www.nextpowerup.com/news/19590/valve-approved-half-life-2-update-is-the-closest-thing-to-half-life-3-yet.html

 

would really like if the valve would port HL2 to DX11 since the oculus SDK is killing dx9  and 10

 

 

Valve has approved Half Life 2: Update, a fan-made Half Life 2 mod that will be released for free tomorrow. Half Life 2: Update will be available as a free download on Steam. Its noteworthy features include enhanced textures, improved lighting and effects, a ton of bug fixes, and more.

 

All of these additions put together contribute towards giving players the best Half Life 2 experience yet. Half Life 2: Update has been in development since 2009. It has been available for download for years now, but a release supported by Valve on Steam will enable it to gain a much larger traction.

Download Half Life 2: Update from Steam for free. You can watch the Half Life 2: Update introduction trailer, and the comparison trailer down below.

 

 

 

 

edit

people who want a very different HL2 experience needs to take a look at the cinematic mod

This actually looks really compelling. I never finished Half Life 2 because when I bought it it was already waayyy out of date (just after BF3 came out) and it just looked too bad for me to really enjoy it. With this mod I think i'll give it another go

The hype is so huge even after almost 11 years that they are probably very scared of releasing a sequel, and if they are working on it, they'll take their sweet time. They will have an immense focus on the online aspect, maybe it'll even be an online only experience.

I was thinking of downloading this. Then I saw the Ravenholm comparisons and remembered about that level... I don't like that level.

Oh yes please!

But still, GabeN, you don't need to be scared of the Illuminati.

It's a shame that they haven't upgraded textures and models :( The visual style is almost the same. The bug fixes is probably the only big change

Cinimatic mod always felt to different for me. For more gentle mod will be much more enjoyable in my opinion if you liked the original game. I know what I'm going all weekend long :D
