Das Problem ist, dass GTA und Elder Scrows eine offene Welt haben, Half Life jedoch nicht, also haben sie damals versucht, sich keine Sorgen um die Grafik zu machen

@@Great_britan_today_im_going hl2 was semi open world, it was linear but the maps were pretty big.

So wake up, Mr Newell, wake up and.... smell the steam sales....

ah the hydra,back then I never heard of the Beta until I found out about mods like Dark Interval and Raising the Bar Redux (missing information doesn't count since it's a collection of beta maps with no story).

Im too

I still remember playing with the leak and that little demo scene. The char models just stop in place right after what you see in the video happens.

Mr Prisen it’s 2003. Now just shut up. The difference could be just 1 day from ‘02 and 03’. What you should be talking about is how much innovative this looks compared to vice city for example

I think the original HL2 concept and beta was more original, creative and more visually interesting and compelling then the retail version. I'd like to see if I can get the WC map pack working with Gmod 13, I wonder if anyone knows how to do that.

Ben 1337 perhaps copy and paste from old hammer to new hammer and compile? sounds rather dumb but it just might work

You're not alone. Coming back to this stuff after becoming really interested in game development has blown my mind. Of course, then there's the inevitable feeling of sad nostalgia...

+TheTehme The reason a lot of the beta stuff is cut is because a hacker leaked almost the whole game onto the internet in 2003, and so Valve remade the entire game in a rushed period of time. They still managed to made a good game, but I think the original version would've been much better. Someone has to make a finished mod of what was originally going to be Half-Life 2. I would fucking LOVE to see that. There's a team working on what Half-Life 1 was originally going to be prior to it's revision after it was decided the original version wasn't good enough, and while I'm very interested in that, I'd much rather see the original version of Half-Life 2.

+Particular Particle And guess what? We're not really going to see a finale of the Half Life series. If someone does make a HL2 mod of what was going to be originally Half Life 2, it would be a HUGE slap in the face for Valve since they'd have allowed the community to work on their version of Half Life. Thing is is that I would have liked to see the Borealis, I would have liked to see all of the new locations and the winter fights.

Yeah, you are totally right. I definitely looked over the bobbing and lack of view model sway when I first watched it. Nice eye.

Even in the 2003 demo you can see they were still using the HL1 blood sprites.

Volvo pls

but, the real HL2 game files from 2003, was tottaly different, it contains blurry textures, alot of missing models "ERROR" and alot of terrible stuff, they arleady made a fix patch for this.

@@rapappathepepper3996 yep

@@rapappathepepper3996 The game was still in development. If you mean the mod then yeah.

@@White927 well idk why would i apply patches for a beta, to then keep playing the beta without issues, except it just lacks, i know there's the WC map pack and i can compile alot of old maps but then, most of those maps arent fun to walk at as well, and fixing can be sort of fun but also sort of underwhelming the results

@@rapappathepepper3996 Go check out raising the bar - redux those guys are putting alot of effort for the beta

***** Good that they changed it...

Any old building in an 80s movie

It looks really well animated to! It's very smooth. It seems smoother than animations we have in Half Life 2 as it is now. Also that combine soldier suit looks a lot like the ones in Half Life Alyx. I wish they kept that style of Combine Soldier for Half Life 2.

Also that neon blue tentacle monster looked so cool. Idk why they didn't keep it.

@@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce They cut it not long before release because they couldn't make it fun to fight against.

@@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce It seemed it never evolved into anything real gameplay wise. In the leak that scene is 100 percent scripted. It's just a map with that one scene that plays and that's it.

​@@KingMetalMario Yes, but Valve contradicted itself, because the development of the tentacles in the previous game was preserved, not abstracted, but kept.

It’s 2022…And still the best game series ever made

actually, extreme paintbrawl has more entries and is better than half life. get on the new wave.

Now almost '23, still one of the best

The greatest game even in 2023

Half Baked XD

The style did change in 2003, from a classic Central European one seen here, to a more Eastern Soviet one that was kept for the final game. That's not weird, the graphics are good *because* of the era. No one at Valve today would have the talent to create something so beautiful.

Benjámin Kurilla same 😭😭😭

Okay.

same

The music was indeed created initially for Opposing Force, but went unused.

already sounded like something from opposing force for me

It does sort of resemble the Ordinal or Wallhammer with the blue accents.

Than it sucks to be you i guess. There was so many great games after HL2...

I wrote immensely impressed, I have been impressed with other games sure. But not as much as Half-Life 2.

@@Batwarkov again those are great games but he said immensely impressed who are other people to bash him for stating what is his top most number 1 game?

It used the original walking/running mechanics of Half-Life 1. While I like the walking/mechanics we got in Half-Life 2 today, the weapon turning lag is a bit too much.

yes it is,but the dark atmosphere of the beta it really casts Dr. Breen and the Combine in an evil,savage and oppressive light.

@@gamepad3173 Retail still does it too, imo better its more subtle. Earth is drained the combine don't make elaborate buildings they just leach resources. They do so because they don't care, we can look at the suitcase's, the atmosphere of just how lonely the world of HL2 is how evil the combine are. The beta combine where too elaborate imo, the retail version shows us an alien force that was so strong it took out the earth in 7 hours, only to leave some things to drain natural resources and a small guardy duty force.

Well we technically have hl3

That's the hydra, a cut monster.

@@videotape2959 Well, Hydra is the formal successor to Tentacle's origin.
