I'm going to start playing Half Life 2 again because never got around to completing it before (playing on hardest setting)

Are there any graphics mods other than the Update that is in Steam that just appears to make things more bright and the Cinematic mod which looks great but changes the game too much for my liking.

Something like just HD textures and HD model skins would be good - but not actually changing the models and textures to other things, just increasing the detail
 
I did try it and it looked nice but also changed the atmosphere of the game in parts quite a lot.

It changed the feel of the game which is not really what I want. HD texture pack would be good - no daft bright HDR lighting, just textures. Cinematic mod also made the characters look daft
 
Whats Waw? As I said the update in steam just seems to make things more bright.
With the cinematic mod can textures alone be added? Didnt know that, if so ill download it again
 
Are right. I thought it was a game! :)

Just found quite a good video showing comparisons


I am going to install the update as the cinematic mod changes the atmosphere too much. They also have appeared to have made the character look retarded (2 mins in) :confused:
 
I tried the update yesterday and it just seemed too bright and clean. City 17 is supposed to be dull and not nice. Back to vanilla for me. Nothing added, nothing taken away. It didnt get 97% (or whatever it was) for no reason
