Latest HL Updates Killed FakeFactory Mod

    I posted this in another thread the other day, but thought I'd post it here too :)

    A preview trailer has been released for the CM 2013 mod, there will possibly be further trailers later close to, or after when, CM 2013 is released.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUlRYOHEKv-hnHYJzrQ-8Opg&feature=player_detailpage&v=ShZSR5sSflM

    The annoying thing with Youtube is I can't link the 1080P version, it defaults to the lower resolution versions. Since the trailer concept is 'immersion'*, the 1080P version is the one I would recommend. you have to select 1080P once it starts playing, and you might have to go back to the beginning of the video for it to change to 1080P. For some reason when you select the resolution it doesn't change automatically (typical of some Youtube stuff these days), I have heard other people mention that too. Not sure if it's a Flash issue, browser issue, or a website issue. In any case, the 360P version is just like any other video, it doesn't give you the atmosphere that the 1080P version does.

    *Like the trailers for previous versions of CM, the trailer isn't a gameplay trailer. Although it is a real output of the CM 2013 mod, it is specially 'choreographed' and relies on conveying the atmosphere of the game, not simply showing the gameplay. It is for this reason that I recommend the 1080P version, it does make a difference when you watch it (even over the 720P version surprisingly).

    Anyways, enjoy :)

    just finished Nova Prospekt (now onto Entanglement), and im sure its been severely cut, as i remember a bit where you dropped down a level into some cells, and there was about 3 gun turrets you set up, to help kill all the combine coming in while Alyx made her way to you :confused:

    Unless im thinking of some other part, as been that long since i played it :p

    So what version are you playing? 12.21 or CM 2013 alpha?

    I'm waiting for the CM 2013 final, then doing a complete replay :)

    Shame Valve hasn't continued with the series. Of course, Half-Life 3 has just been rumour, some of the rumours have sounded pretty bad though. One in particular was that they had done a fair bit of work on it, then decided they wanted to change the gameplay style so they started from scratch again. Then, as the rumour goes, they decide to change it further as that style of gameplay went out of fashion. Come on Valve, I really hope those rumours are untrue, as honestly, it won't be a Half-Life 3 if you stuff around with the gameplay and make it too much different to Half-Life 2. The biggest way to kill off the Half-Life series is to 'consolise' it. Most people on PC won't buy it if it is changed or crippled in any way for the consoles, and console gamers won't buy it if it gets negative reviews which is guaranteed if it is crippled in any way.

    EDIT: Looks like hes changed the links, as the one i used isn't any of them now.

    May be best of torrenting it.

    The freezes are game breaking tho.

    Every now and then the game locks up and loops sound then 10 seconds later it continues.

    Dunno if it's related to HL itself or the Mod.

    Just keep in mind it isn't the final version, there may be small fixes and improvements before the release CM 2013 :). In the past when there were beta's there were incremental updates for those that already had the beta, so I assume it would be the same case this time. The only time that the incremental updates won't happen is if there is a large proportion of the content changed in some way.

    The game always had freezes. its when the next section loads.
    With larger textures and stuff the freezes will take longer even

    It's not the loading screen, because it would show "Loading..." (I played HL2 before and know where game loads happen)

    It happens like 3-5 times in a level. Game freezes up sound continues and a couple of seconds later the game unfreezes.

    Seems to be happening to more Source Games.

    I got more Steam Games but it only happens in HL2 atm.

    I googled about it and it seems it happens with other people too in all Source Games.

    Games like Dishonored and Skyrim don't have this issue.
