Are Half Life 1 HD Models Really That Bad

I swear the black scientist looks like Gus Fring

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.

No

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

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

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

Even though I generally don't like the HD models, I have to agree about the shotgun, such a shame it's mixed in a pile of mostly forgotten garbage

[@The1-The-G]

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

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

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

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.

[@MisterMarin]

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

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.

[@Ems1EmLol]

That is the best video about hd models Thanks!

[@OperationOrca]

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

[@Marine_2010]

Not really

[@mediacoregroupph]

There is a 9mm AR variant made by Colt

[@trevorshark16]

It has a stick magazine though. The HD model clearly has a STANAG 5.56 magazine.

[@The6thMessenger]

Guns look OK tho, except the pistol.

[@Marine_2010]

M9 the goat

[@officialMXX]

real

[@jacobsrandomstuff]

short answer, yes.

[@Marine_2010]

Cry

[@VolkovVelikan]

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

[@Marine_2010]

Why?

[@trevorshark16]

Disagree, the 92 is so much cooler

[@saverofthehumens]

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.

[@TechnologicallyTechnical]

yes

[@Marine_2010]

No*
