Mar 31, 2008 - PCGH.de did a huge update on their gallery for the HL2 texture mod 'Cinematic Mod 7'. This time, they compare all the available Alyx models. Hello Everyone, I love Half-Life 2 and FakeFactory's Cinematic Mod, but not so much a fan of his newest models for Alyx.

Cinematic Mod a Half-Life 2 mod

Raises the outdated graphical appearance of the Half-Life 2 trilogy to a state-of-the-art level, while giving it a more stressed, darker and minatory look. All low-res textures are replaced by high-res counterparts.

Cinematic Mod adds an emotional cinematic music soundtrack, optional HD models and unused content from the original games!

Trailers: trailer 1 & trailer 2!

Cinematic Mod 2013

This version of Cinematic Mod is for the new SteamPipe content system! You need Half-Life 2, Episode 1 and 2 converted to this new format (VPK files instead of GCF files). To do this, just launch each game in Steam and Steam will ask you to do so.

If you plan to play an older version of Cinematic Mod (or any other older mod), make sure to make a copy of the necessary GCF’s before you update, as the old GCF’s will be automatically deleted. For more info: see here.

Important notes

This is a graphical / music total conversion. It looks and sounds very different compared to vanilla HL2.
It's free, so don't complain: If you don't like the mod, you can delete it and play something else.
To play this mod, you must own Half Life 2 + Episode 1 + Episode 2 fully installed and unlocked! (= started at least once) You cannot play without Episode 2 content!
Remember to activate 'High Quality' graphic settings in the options dialog. Especially the model setting must be at 'High' or you'll get facial animation errors with HD models.
You must enable HDR, when using the dynamic shadow enhanced maps. (Looks very weird and unnatural in LDR)
If you are using HD characters, please re-initiate them with the new character pimper after updating the CM!
Foreign language users: Please reinitialize your preferred language with the configurator.

Purpose of this mod

Unified Engine; play the game (HL2 / EP1 / EP2) with the latest Orangebox engine / Advanced HDR / Dynamic Shadows
Enhance the old HL2 maps with HDR, blooming, color-correction, new props, dynamic shadows
Eliminate all blurry / Low-res textures with new Hi-res textures and/or Hi-res-Detail-Overlays
Give the HL2 trilogy a more stressed, darker and uncomfortable look
Enhance the soundtrack with a semi-dynamic new Hollywood-style music
Add optional HD characters
Add more replay-value
