Totally downloading..

Ohh yeah, nothing more to say then this ->

Great thx for posting

[MELVIn]

tis well worth the download, however do know that you need a massive amount of RAM for it (IIRC recommended is aboot 3GB)

[Oakley]

Haha, ace vid and this is awesome. I can't wait to download and play!

[Psy]

I have mixed feelings about this mod. On the one hand, a lot of hard work has clearly gone into making HL2 look as pretty as possible but on the other I can't help but be put off by the model changes to the characters and the fact that some it just doesn't look right.

[nub]

I have 3gb, although 3gb isn't a massive amount of ram...

You can get 4gb (x2 2gb) of Gskill DDR2 1066 ram for like $42 at Newegg...

However my 7900GS is gonna be crying. I bet I can Crysis Warhead with better graphics than this without lagging-ass...I mean of course I can.

I think he should try and mod some new graphical features into the next version, like City 17 Episode One is doing.

[FlynT]

Yeah the latest Model changes specifically on the main Chars are not that great but on the other side its ok to go away from that Adrianna Lima model style, cuz it doesn't fit into that HL2 Ambient. But that Texture work and the overall ambient changes are really awesome!

[dissonance]

Adrianna? Oh, move away from.
I'd pick Rose Byrne to play Alex in a HL movie.

Seeing as how I only have a gig of ram on my Windows PC, I probably won't give this a shot.
That, and I'm really only in the mood for some nice SP mods at this point.

anyone know of a good, fast torrent or download link for this on the northern east coast, USA?

I have 4 gigs of ram in my machine, and it handles a game like crysis fairly well. (FPS gets choppy when a lot is happening on screen though) I would love to play with the upgraded visuals, kicking combine butt in HDR glory.

However I had a bad experience at the last time I downloaded a mod that changes content in a game. It made my game crash and i was forced to uninstall it loosing my saves in the process (should have used steam cloud -_-). Also I'm worried about any malicious software that may be in it.

Can any one tell me if this mod is safe and stable or not?

you could have just copied your saves before deleting

and i'm pretty sure there won't be anything "malicious".

If you honestly think that fakefactory put a virus in their EXE you are truly overparanoid.

[Lord Anubis]

Well i haven't heard of fakefactory until today.

Also I was just asking if there is any issues with the mod that could be potentially hazardous to my rig or at least to the original game in any way.

I just want a clarification on what I'll be downloading

I've been playing around with this since the early days (last one I tried was 8.0 IIRC) and it didn't change any game files. However I was dumb enough to copy the mod content into my HL2, ep1 and ep2 folders and THAT screwed with me a bit when I wanted to uninstall it.
