Half Life HD

[Jusmar]

Does Ross use the Half-Life HD pack? It could be a good middle ground between the vanilla and the Black Mesa mod. http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Half-Life_High_Definition_Pack Its a bit of an upgrade but it might be too hard to implement.

He doesn't use it. If he did, the pistol and shotgun would look very different.

Ah, so that's where those strange screenshots I sometimes find come from. I had no idea.

 

I'd rather see the series continue with the original visuals (with the exception of what is included through HL:Source, since it's minor). You see, some portion of what makes me love Freeman's Mind has nothing to do with what Ross Scott is doing. It's just pure nostalgia.

 

Like many here I probably spend months, if not years fighting my way through Black Mesa. It's just good to see that old game again. For that purpose alone I couldn't wish for a better walkthrough video. If visual modifications like Black Mesa or this mod were to be included it would only deminish that nostalgic value.

I used the High Definition pack myself for a long time because it came with Blue Shift. When I got Steam and downloaded Half-Life on it, I noticed it was gone. But it never bothered me since it's only a cosmetic update and has no impact on the game.

I never liked the character models that were included with the HD pack.

I just liked using a SPAS-12 and a berreta.

Those are for the original Half-Life.

 

He uses Half-Life: Source.

Another good point.

Touche! Is there a difference between the HD and the source?

I never liked the look of the HD pack. It just looked out of place to me

[Pinkie Pie]

Didn't mind character models. I just didn't like weapon models.

Same here. They looked like some kind of horrible fusion between realistic and classic, but not enough of either to look good

Yeah HD models don't go with the rest of the game looking like it used to.

Moved the topic to the Valve Games forum so we can discuss about the HD pack and not Freeman's Mind.

Source weapons bounce around and it's slightly shiny but otherwise it is a pretty cheap-ass remake.

I kinda prefer the HD weapons. The shotgun looks better and the Beretta looks better than the original HL pistol too. Also, I kinda prefer the assault rifle over the submachinegun. So yeah, kinda wish they'd release it on Steam, maybe as a DLC.

The HD pack for the original can be downloaded from steam, If you want it for source there is a fan made recreation of it somewhere that was quite good. Personally I go back and forth on it, the character models are better, but I prefer some of the original weapons to the HD-versions.

[BTGBullseye]

I use source version of it, but I don't like the weapon reskins...

How? I haven't seen it anywhere in the store.
