this mod is a 10/10, just because it adds back the moving clouds. (still dark and yogurt.)

Great choice for a name, because "coterminus" literally means coexisting.

It's nice that the author decided to release two action-centric chapters as a preview of what's to come, no offense to the other beta mods out there, but having something substantial and fun to play is refreshing to see compared to the more set-piece stuff we've seen in the past

I love this mod a lot, it feels like the HL2 that's advertised on the back of the game box. The skyboxes are really nice to look at. Love the dried up oceans.

it’s like retail hl2 in an alternate universe, looks awesome

Great video my dude! That said, I'm a bit disappointed you didn't mention how the e3 demonstrations were seamlessly blended into the levels. When I got to the coast gunship area, I immediately recognized the train bridge and the green warehouses and it was the greatest 'OH SHIT' moment I had in this mod, absolutely awesome.

Yes, finally! I was waiting for this video for a long time and it didn't disappoint! Like the mod itself, it was great! Loved the mix of retail and beta, especially all the weapons (just had to use impulse 101 to try them all). That wasteland view was breathtaking, and Antlion caves entrance gave me shivers too. Also, Combine guard at the end was a great surprise.

the view of the wasteland is both beautiful and haunting, the combine have scarred the earth but its not completely destroyed

I absolutely love this mod, I would like it more with the red arms but that’s optional cause of mods, OH and you can also take the Tau Cannon off the car, and you can basically do the whole H17 chapter without the car cause it makes B-hopping a hell of a lot easier with its boost abilities. Great Video, happy you covered the mod!

I really had fun with this one, though I ended the last segment of the road section by hopping sort of out of bounds with the Tau Cannon.

0:13 i cant describe your music, its so relaxing, cool and catchy. I swear even tho im too young i'd drive in a highway with cloudy weather and this song playing in the background!

Recently heard of this mod, and I find it amazing. My favorite era of the HL2 “beta” has always been the 2003 era. It’s a blend between retail and the concepts from 2001. I really like how this mod tries to capture that 2003 look, rather than going with more modern-looking graphics. It adds atmosphere

Coterminus was an excellent experience for me, and I think one of the best bits of it is how well it can be used as a base thanks to all of the enemies and weapons that are in it. At least 3 separate people have asked me if they could port my Vertigo mod onto it so far.

Downloading this right now, I cannot stop staring at the backgrounds of this mod, goodness gracious.

Wow I remember Milkyway16 back from the Facepunch beta cut content forum. Really happy to see this name again. :)

damnnn, this mod looks awesome, the wasteland is by far my favorite thing about the beta and this seems to pull it off perfectly

That mario sound effect got a chuckle out of me.

I hope Gabe plays this one day. I bet you anything this is the version of Half-Life 2 he'd like most.

Might actualy try this mod, it sounds and looks interesting

Gives me the vibe that some of the older Combine units are still around waiting to be destroyed in battle as the newer units from the newer citadels gradually replace them.

8:00 There is actually a fully modeled and animated model of the Antlion King in the Half Life 2 Beta Minimalist Mod, it's the only mod I've seen which actually shows the Antlion King, and it's just as impressive as was promised.

10/10 would love to see it become a full game

I hope Milky Way sees this video

11:16 DAMN that part of the map is beautiful, reminds me of the hospitals in return to ravenholm

Fantastic video! I think this is one of my favorite reviews so far and I'm super glad you like the mod :)

took them 15 years, but those shielded soldiers finally appeared in a HL game after all :D (HL:Alyx)

Great video, loved what you had to say. Surreal has put in a lot of hard work, and I am happy to be apart of the team. For those that want to hop in and play, I have a dedicated server up and running with 4 bots. There is also a new map with Beta 2 that was not listed in this video that is running as well. Enjoy!

5:25 E3 Hatchbacks my beloved... ❤

this mod is pretty fun ngl, i looks amazing as well, i love a lot of stuff from the beta but i also enjoy most of the base-game story/maps, so seeing the two of them expertly weaved together with the weaponry, maps, and enemies and they just all fit together like beautiful little lego bricks, and it's just amazing, i'm so impressed with the mod author, props to the author, just wow

Sceneries in this mod are amazing. Especially the ones on the bridge and near the zombie town.

Found this mod from this video and I loved it. So cool seeing the cut content be readded in a polished and logical way. It really gives a good look at how the game could have been if the beta content wasn't scrapped. Another cool detail that you missed is on the prison, if you look at the security cams you can see the beta stalker enemy (the one that shoots lasers) on one and a group of the big camouflage combine dudes moving down a hallway in another. Sucks they weren't in the levels themselves but I loved see the small little details they added to make the the cut content all fit well together. Super excited to see the mod as it develops.

I've been subscribed to the coterminus channel for a while and looking at all the stuff they have put together. It's really interesting.

Coterminus is like those rare mods that actually feels fresh. It feels like HL2, but with the Cut NPCs of HL2 Beta.

I love dry sea bed near nova propect seeing the submarine left abandoned by the military. Snd seeing a beach town surrounded by no water its ships also abandoned. The combine train moving to the prison in the distance. I want thus in half life 2.

The vastness of the Wasteland reminds me of God of War for some reason

this mod adds rats, 10/10

This mod is something I never knew I wanted. I wonder how City 17 and Ravenholm are going to look like. I'm definitely keeping my eye on this one.

I'm happy to see that you're still making content. Keep up the great work !

when i heard that sound in that cave i was really scared then disappointed that it was over

"why did nobody think of this" > combine oppressors in half life alyx:

i need to play the hl2 beta mods and coterminus looks very very good also great video!

For a lot of the video, I just thought that the mod was neat, but nothing too special, then 7:00 happened and I was blown away, it’s such a large change and interesting atmosphere, I’m probably gonna download this mod later

This video makes me want to try this mod, since its looks fun because it has beta style

I need this mod completed holy shit

Definitely going to check this out. It blends the retail content with the beta content very nicely.

song at beginning unexplained hazards

10:30 Without condemning nor condoning, I understand.

10:28 what have you been looking up? also can't wait for more maps to come out!

Daaayum bro how did I miss this???!

good video radiation hazard!

"this shit bussin bussin" -2003 combine soldier, 2022, Thumbnail. joke aside, what if someone made an mmod on this?

never knew a mod like this existed somehow,i will certainly check it out latee,great video btw 😎

I don't have any unique words for beta stuff anymore. So let me just say, good as always!

Combine assassin: Makes Rad kinda sus Shield Combine: Great at knock knock jokes Combine Guard: BIG MAC STRIDER GUN WELDING BIG BOI!

The coastline looks fucking sick, I always wanted to see more of the wasteland... I imagine most of the world in the story is a wasteland

10:52 "why did nobody think of this!?" Half-life Alyx did have those

coterminus is what i imagane HL2 if it was released a year earlier.

5:21 “I like the car segment better in Half-“

Thats amazing after playing through it, I thought it was more then one person who made it, found this video after I did. And am even more amazed finding it was only made by one person

7:09 That looks exactly like the Half Life 2 concept arts depicted The Wasteland, though it seemed to be more orange originally. But that submarine and the Combine Depot are a dead giveaway, as well as those mounds of rock everywhere, really feels like that used to be the sea floor once upon a time.

Great video, I'm gonna give this mod a try now

Just imagine, when this mod will full released, my god, I cannot wait. Thanks for showing this mod. 😁👍

I love 1 man teams that are able to put so much work into their mods. It's better that way, it's their vision through and through

awesome content radhaz keep it up.

I made the zombies in my Half-Life: Source overpowered

It only took valve until Half Life Alyx to implement enemies with shields lol

10:30 I can’t blame him tho

If Milkyway wants to include the Antlion King they should have it so you can just barely see it in the distance before it moves away. Imagine just walking and you see the body way out where you wont encounter it.

8:13 Oh, I SO hope we get to fight the Antlion King.

The rolling sand storm looks so cool on the coast part WOW

I Prefer Beta Atmosphere Than Retail But This Blend Looks Good

I really hope this is finished, it looks great

This mod make my leg fall off

this is what i belive half life 2 would have genuinely looked like given the 2003 world

I want to explore the town in the distance surrounded by an empty sea bed and the beaches submarine and ships.

if you look and zoom out at 7:15 you can see a train and 2 dropship going by in the distant

Is anyone going to mention about the "thick mommy combine assassin" or it's just me

This mod looks amazing, i especially love the choice to use specular based lighting from older builds of source rather than the phong based lighting of newer branches, it just really adds to the tone imo

HL2 prob the only game set in Eastern Europe that didn’t have gray skies since they chose yellow instead lol. It looks way more natural and easy on the eyes in this mod

I don't know why, but no mods seem to replicate the water frothing effect that Dear Esther does. It looks REALLY good, and if you're going for that, you should try to get something along those lines.

Milky Way took what was already my favorite Valve game and is making it even better!

and there it is, just in time for my lunch

i have phobia of water creatures in half life and also im scared of some cut enemies because they looking scary and animated very unnerving.

I like your video

5:25 best death message

looks super ive always wanted a hl2 beta mod with the antlion king as a boss cant wait for it to be realeased

Will definetly try this mod out :v

interesting. I also noticed that the mod restored muzzleflash illumination. It used to be there in old videos, but then in the vanilla only prop objects get illuminated, while environment doesn't it irks me to no end. I gotta check this mod out

Damn, must have been some work to make such big maps work well in default source engine

Dark and griddy

*This* is the kind of HL2Beta mod I was waiting for!

The start of video is good and the video

The depot is citadel at home

damn, this looks great. i love release hl2 but beta hl2 was super interesting looking

Radiation Hazard, what would happen if I turned the valve in your eye?

Try reviewing a Half-Life 2 mod called 'Mistake Of Pythagoras'.

Wow they made it *_dark and griddy_* again

I'm thoroughly impressed by the show of constraint used by the developer. I've always been frustrated by how gimmicky or flashy a lot of these HL2 mods can get so to see someone use a more grounded and gradual approach to their mod is a huge change of pace. 10/10, would play.

11:30 although this video was really entertaining, I am a bit disappointed that you didn't use the Strider gun to take down an enemy just for the fun of it, I am curious how it behaves in Gordon's hands. This mod looks gorgeous!

Wait, you said you liked Nova Prospekt? ~Also that open wastelands really gives the Borderlands vibes...
