![]() It’s like the author of the mod didn’t even try to respect Half-Life. When I say these models, I automatically decided to replace the original ones. The mod, comes with the ability to replace character models. they might also have been compressed and do not necessarily reflect the graphical fidelity of the mod. Please not that these screenshots have been found on the Internet as a matter of illustration, but these problems still are here in the last version of the mod. ![]() Unfortunately some of them are rather strange, very strange. Most of the textures are nice, although not alway the close to the originals but I’ve seen HD mods doing worse things. I had to tweak the graphical options a lot in order to be able to complete this sequence. It becomes especially dramatic near the end of Half-Life 2 when you need to deal with flying as well as on feet ennemies on rooftops. The result is pretty yet unbalanced: in the dark sections of the game, you need to use your flashlight a lot more which makes you pause a lot more to recharge it, whereas outdoor, you are often blinded by the sun. The Cinematic Mod adds a lot of graphical effects to the games, mostly lighting ones. Unfortunately it is not perfect and ultimately, it just ruins the experience too in several ways.īyb the way, there might be a few light spoilers in the next sections, nothing heavy but still, be careful if you’ve never played the games. This one makes no exception in the way that’s how it is advertised and that it is indeed overall pretty. GraphicsĪs far as HD mods go, graphics is usually their strong point. But the original soundtrack in Episode 2, felt way more powerful than the epic-oriented replacement soundtrack of the Cinematic Mod, when I played Half-Life 2 and Episode 1. I only noticed that when I finished my re-run, with Episode 2, after I removed the Cinematic Mod. That use of music was really fitting to the action, in a way that Alfred Hitchcock would have certainly appreciated. Half-Life 2’s soundtrack was very close to the action, sometimes environmental, sometime electrically awesome when it needs to be. Normally, one would think giving an epic soundtrack to an awesome game like Half-Life 2 would be perfect. I only was able to find this forum post about where it came from. The mod uses various tracks from movie sountracks in order to create an epic feeling to your gameplay and I must say it’s mostly working. ![]() The soundtrack of the Cinamatic Mod is probably the most insidious part of the mod as I didn’t notice its effect until after I removed it. A mod that supposedly “Raises the outdated graphical appearance of the Half-Life 2 trilogy to a state-of-the-art level, while giving it a more stressed, darker and minatory look.”.ĭoes it? To answer this question, we’ll have to deconstruct it piece by piece. Instead it focuses on the Half-Life 2 Cinematic Mod. This article isn’t dedicated to those masterpieces. They were once again worthy sequels and for years, we have been waiting for the final conclusion of these magnificent games. A game like Half-Life having a worthy sequel is so rare that it could be considered a miracle, but after all, has Gaben ever disappointed any of us? After that, Valve released two standalone expansions continuing the series: Half-Life2: Episode One and Two. I, personally, wouldn’t be able to say whether it or Duke Nukem 3D should be granted the title of best FPS ever: that’s how good it is. I discovered this game years ago, sometime during my (pre)-adolescence and I was astonished: it was awesome! Still, there are people considering it the best FPS ever made, even, the best game ever made. For example, if you want to play EP1, you only mount EP1 and make sure to restart the game after mounting.Half Life… There is so much to say about these games that I’ll almost don’t know where to begin. To solve this problem, you only mount the specific episode that you want to play. Same thing goes in HL2 if you mount any of the Episode most of the animation may resulted in T-Pose(Go to Black Mesa East if you want to see what i mean)Īnd again to fix this just unmount both EP1 & EP2 and it should fix almost all the the problem"īasically, EP1 and EP2 assets conflict when mounted together making a mess when playing the Episodic campaigns. To fix this you just need to make sure the only mount is EP 2 and restart the game I want to play HL2 EP2 but i mount both EP1 & EP2 in the first map Alyx will not have her gravity gun pick up animation which will break the game If you MOUNT all of the Half Life Episode 1 & 2 the FIRST Episode to be check in the selcted box will have it animation correctly in it own Episode map ![]() "I just tested how the animation work and have a surprise result Credits to Xeerek Worldender for finding this fix.
