The problem with mods, is that they don't update the blocky geometry of the maps. CM does this, but it goes WAY too far to the other direction. It's equivalent to the HD models of HL1, highly detailed models against a low poly world.
A complementary mod for MMOD would be a "light" CM that don't destroy the vision of the original game. Adding props etc... the insane thing would be doing that in source 2 but too much work or we'll go the black mesa route and wait more than a decade XD.
absolutely appreciate the work put into this, but now all looks very vibrant and colorful almost like cartoonish, and also very clean ... the original art has more realistic feel despite this being in hd
The water in particular doesn't seem like an improvement to me at all. In fact, the blue-ish mash we see here looks worse than in the game that is more than 15 y. o. Lol
Some thing HL2 did better than the showcase mod and any other game is the explosions. In HL2 they feel quick, fast and powerfull, snappy. This mod turns them into hollywood style combustions, pretending to be explosions, like many other fps. Also, the lensflares and bloom. That only happens in dusty/foggy circumstances or very, very bright lights. Not on every run of the mill bulb.
Imagine throwing your crowbar and can't get it back in HL2 Episode 1, Barney says he'd like you to not lose it since he didn't have many of those left.
Better water: Looks about the same Improved glass: Not really an upgrade Particles: Less realistic, too bouncy New deals: Some of the images break immersion Realistic ragdolls: Sure, looks good New HUD: Gordon doesn't wear a visor so no need for this to feel diagetic MMod weapons: awesome as always Better sounds: about the same Better blood: Sure, looks good New vehicles: Looks good Props: Computer panel looks great Pickups: looks good Upscaled NPC models: Look about the same Throwable crowbar: get outta here Tracers rework: Looks cool Lens flare: a bit much Improved lighting: Think HL2: Update did this better Impact decals: look fine World reacting to bullets: Looks a little weird AI: hard to tell if this is really improved Thanks for the video!
The one thing that always seems to be neglected is resized HL2 maps, it was done for HL1 but the loading screens in the game could be cut in half if done right
Call me a purist, but the AR2 should not cycle through a new round for every shot…one round gets cycled 30 times until it loses its potency, and then a new one is loaded in from the bin.
Should be like you need to reload another mag IF all of those 3 tiny bullets are gone, is like 2 reloads on the gun, reload when the tiny bullet is finish and reload an entire mag when all of it is finished, could have been so unique
You're being a purist about a literal unfinished weapon, the AR2 was SUPPOSED to cycle through the entire magazine, but Valve never implemented it fully. The new MMod animations made the AR2 what it was supposed to be from the beginning, and I cum every time I reload the thing.
@PoorCuffee I don't know if RUclips is OK with me saying this, but in the cinematic mod there's new rooms, and one of these new rooms has a dirty secret; a purple, long object women sometimes use for personal objectives. MMod doesn't have any new rooms, so it can't have a secret long object.

Half life 2 fights always had some kind of urgency/quick decision making/ fast pacing for me. It’s part of the reason why I still love the gunfights this game so many years later. Makes you think on your feet.
@@rampageblizzard yeah, being in an intense shootout with the combine, trying not to get hit but to hit the combine, it really makes the game feel like a movie
overall, looks nice, but there's a couple of things I don't really like, first is the lack of sand particle interaction with bullets and explosions and all, second is that weird sound the realistic sound mod played with every item thrown (might be a glitch I suppose), third are the blood effects, too unrealistic, looks more like paint and is done in excessive amounts, 4th is that realistic ragdolls are not really that realistic imo, can be better. But as I said before, all and all, a decent collection of addons, good job!
the sound while throwing items is a glitch; viewmodels are just disabled and the equip animation plays every time you drop a prop in gmod; so the pistol’s sound is played

The throwable crowbar is a good concept, but if you manage to loose it at the beginning, you might be in deep shit (better hope you don't run out of bullets till you reach some checkpoint).
Well, it always uses the same particle effects from the cinematic mod, but never changes them for a better fit for vanilla. That includes the "world reacting bullets" which are basically impact effect particles. By the way those "lens flare" are the second biggest lie after 3. Not for bad but instead of remastered I would prefer a remake on source 2.
Well the only one I didn't see is the black mesa test chamber mod making the background while Gman is talking in the intro look a bit better, I don't know if you're still actively working on this but it's awesome! ^^ And yes yes I know the RTX version is on it's way and will make all remasters irrelevant, but my PC won't be able to run that anyway so this is more fun. :P But as for more mods to add, this is more for HL2 MMod but there's a video on RUclips called remastering Half-Life 2 with 102 mods or something, they linked to a list of them all, that list might be of some help seeing as you both had the same goal, perhaps a middle ground between your lists is the key, Idk. ^^
so, they make better textures and models, make some levels better, make any weapon that isn't the smg and shotgun complete crap, somehow make the enemy ai worse despite still being just a reskinned combine soldier, and make the citadel levels take 5 hours to complete
6:34 I never understood where that "Horizontal lens flare" that appears in many games comes from, it's always been vertical for me whenever I looked at bright lights and squinted.
Best played with Nemez’s combine soldier reskins. I think they fit the universe way better, you can also give Combine backpacks in EP2 for further emersion
Jim's combine soldier improved on gamebanana fit the universe more for me with their helmet and kick and headbutt animation. I want them to be tactical and badass. Anyways its your opinion
dang nice mod!! gotta hand it to you I've been only playing hl2 with the mmod but now with better graphics and everything improved with the source engine thanks- regards me
Well, nice Gmod collection, I also use these addons but really you didn't remaster Half-Life 2 (with mods), the title is misleading. Also a quick tip, you can use 'g_ragdoll_fadespeed 0', that way the ragdolls won't disappear and they'll collide only with the world geometry. Makes for a more optimised performance and smoother gameplay.
btw.. the updated mmod models are fantastic EXCEPT the updated smg which both removes the pump action grenade launcher, AND removes the larger grenade launcher muzzle along with the extended-position stock. basically you have perfect taste for keeping the OG mmod smg and i commend you for that.
Or just implement low res textures better. I remember unreal tournament 98 having better looking ground textures than this because they made extensive use of overlay textures to give the appearance of high def.

the sound while throwing items is a glitch; viewmodels are just disabled and the equip animation plays every time you drop a prop in gmod; so the pistol’s sound is played
