I especially liked that zoony (brutal half life creator) added to mod M4 as standalone weapon that uses same ammo that m249 (and thats freaking awesone idea)

half life 3 coming out when the combine takes over.

hl2 better

its cheap NPC

Honestly if the HD models were built into half life 1 or made by valve themselves nobody would care. And in 2005 a lot of hate was given to the HD models due to the fact that they were enabled by default with no way to turn them off. And until 2023 the HD models weapons were canon. And a lot of people get the HD pack confused with the ps2 Ultra definition pack which is ugly as hell

this hd models may out of place in the original PC half life but it's perfect for ps2 half life port

Ironically seems more like a mod rather than a feature.

Well there are Colt Carabines that shoot 9mm. But It still doesn't make a sense why would you get heavier gun with a smaller calibre for your special units.

Yes, yes they are. They are really that bad.

I just find LD models most especially Barney charming. Otherwise I kinda like HD

I think the HD Spas is still one of the finest weapon models in any game.

To be honest I only like hd in blue shift or mods that are realistic

Everything regarding the HD models would've been avoided if Sierra didn't cancel the Dreamcast port of half life 1. We were just a few weeks away from avoiding all of that. Weeks... Blue Shift was also originally meant to be released only for the Dreamcast port. That's why almost all of the dead bodies disappear when you kill them and why there aren't interesting new puzzles. Because Sega couldn't handle that. They did manage to make the Blue Shift levels more detailed with additional stuff placed inside them and that's impressive but everything else had to be sacrificed. In the end after the Dreamcast port cancelation the developers decided to release everything on PC including the Blue Shift expansion

Hello good evening

Objectively the viewmodels are perfectly fine, just not as nostalgic as the originals. The character models are... just kinda weird.

Black scientist:"My name is Gustavo Fring,but you can call me Gus"

i personally prefer HD models because like the gus on HD models sound so much strong compared to LD models and i found H.E.C.U soldiers having a m4 instead of a mp5 way logical(still M4 using 9mm making no sense but who cares)

He's just a chill guy.

HD pack underrated

the HD models for decay are next level and need to be analysed lol

real ones know the dreamcast models are superior

The HD models are better. And I'm tired of pretending they're not.

i like the hd barney it doenst make him look like a man who hasnt had water in 3 days and managed to survive thise 3 days but rather your average dude that has a facial disability

Guards > Downgraded Scientists > Downgraded HECU > Upgraded Zombies > Upgraded Pistol > Downgraded Crowbar > Upgraded Shotgun > Upgraded MP5 > The Colt SMG is a good remodel, I really think that it is up to the player to decice which gun he prefers. I like both. Grenade > Upgraded RPG > Upgraded HEV suit model > Upgraded

I vastly prefer the HD models, the originals aren't bad but when the new models hit back in the day I loved em so much.

That is the best video about hd models Thanks!

I personally prefer PS2's HD models compared to the PC ones. The PS2 ones got animations for each fingers and eye/eyebrow animations on them. Also the Kleiner scientist model can finally look through his glasses now

The PS2 models are the best ones, they're used in Half Life echoes aswell

Guns look OK tho, except the pistol.

I prefer barney looking like a sex offender rather than a mannequin

The HD hgrunts sadly have some downgrades when it comes to combat. Their fire rate are a bit slower and don't run as fast as the original model, due to weird changes that Gearbox did in their animation sequences.

They’re better, but they shouldn’t have gotten rid of the Glock

I don't see the problem with anything. Nothing looks out of place to me, nothing worth nitpicking about anyway. 🙂

The weapon models are infinitely better. Violently disagree? Mald seethe cope and all of the zoomer buzzwords I don't care. The original shotgun is spraypainted clay, the pistol is lego, the smg is made of plastic pipes and the grenade is a wooden block painted green.

Well, the real problem is that after all, the HD models were (more or less) meant to be exclusive to the Dreamcast port of the game until it got discontinued And it shows, by some models not having HD renditions, the complete lack of Upgraded models for Opposing Force (and yet they put weapon model replacements in it) some slightly off animations and model mishaps, and generally some changes that don't fit Half-Life's logic and aesthetic. Also while I prefer the HD shotgun's heavier firing sound, I'm not a big fan of the chunky pumping sound

short answer, yes.

yes

There is a 9mm AR variant made by Colt

I legit love the Shotgun so much, it feels so badass, The mp5 is also a huge upgrade

I think that they're better. *There are 57 armed hitmen approaching my home*

Fuck HD weapon models only vanilla

real

I swear the black scientist looks like Gus Fring

The fog is coming The fog is coming The fog is coming The fog is coming The fog is coming The fog is coming The fog is coming The fog is coming The fog is coming The fog is coming The fog is coming

I actually played Blue Shift before Half-Life, so I prefer a lot of the HD models. The security guards actually look like humans instead of ghouls, the HECU look way better, and the weapons sound better too. However, the MP5 getting replaced was a massive downgrade. I love the CAR-15 but it doesn't shoot 9mm and that always bothered me because there were actual 9mm Colt SMGs that existed at the time. Overall I like the HD textures but they really only work in Blue Shift.

The Truth is in the audio it doesnt say "Gordon" or "Theyre dead" and so on. when the developers of half life 2 were making the audio they added a 3rd pack for the creepy audio. this means that the audio comes from "Ghost of the machine" which is named "Radio 1" and in it are 3 packs. The third one is called "Ooyayuya" and in the 3rd sample for Radio 1 the 3rd pack keeps repeating "Ooyayuya". the developers for half life 2 used Ghost in the Machine"s radio 1 and which is this erie music with a lot of speculations and theories Thank you for reading i guess.

cheaple is cheap, that's what it is, a low res model used for optimisation

Is it just me but its face was used in hl2 beta 2002

Man,youre channel is heavily underrated. Great job!

Cheaple can be seen in the E3 2002 (e3_terminal map) video by Valve The model was meant to be a normal citizen/resistance NPC model But the lore on Cheaples face is very depressing
