Take a look at some of the screenies I posted of HL2 cinematic mod v4.0 (the hires texture pack)
Its very big at 3gb in size but it really does breath new life into the source engine and the performance hit is minimal for me at least.

really? Ive had no crashes at all...flawless
i've not played HL2/HL2ep1 in a while, but are there any comparisons to normal shots anywhere? what spec pc do you have and what is minimal performance hit for you?
That could just be specific compatability issues with Jihads pc...my pc spec is in my sig and minimal performance hit is because I still get over 200fps average with max settings 4xaa 16xaf 1280x1024.
All the download servers are dog slow, shame it's not on usenet
I had the same problem trying to download the pack. Gave up in the end
.
After looking at the screenies i downloaded the mod (about a week ago)
Few things they don't mention though.
1.)You have to start the game via steam i.e it only shows up on your "my games" tab in steam ( I spent a good 10 minutes looking for the executable)
2.) You HAVE to watch the ~2 minute intro every single time you start the game. Haven't been able to find a way round this and it does get really annoying after a while - especially after the game's just crashed.
3.)It made my system crash an awful lot (i installed it right after a fresh install of vista). It crashed during every other load scene (which was very infuriating) and the second chapter didn't start without graphics and texture corruption.
It's my first play through half life 2 though and the textures are indeed very impressive.
I managed to sort out my crashing issues by forcing the game to run in DX 9 (fingers crossed anyways)
I would definitely recommend it if you can look past it's flaws.
