What would Half-Life 2 have been like if we had gotten the version shown to us in the official promotional materials? Coterminus attempts to answer that question as well as provide a platform for others to make mods based on Half-Life 2 cut content.

Hello everyone!
Today(April 8th) marks the two year anniversary since the first Coterminus release. It has been far too long since I've posted an update and I wanted to take the opportunity to apologize for the silence and show you a little of what's been cooking.
As you might be aware, Coterminus Part 2 will include our take on the Intro/City 17 chapter and Ravenholm. The City 17 maps have seen a lot of progress recently thanks to Jambo's amazing work. Below you'll find some screenshots taken from a few of these maps.
Please keep in mind, everything is a work in progress and subject to change.
These maps will follow Gordon's original journey from the train station through the industrial site, terminal plaza, arcade, underground service tunnels(subt), to Kleiner's lab and the infamous teleport sequence.
In addition, we have a single preview of Ravenholm to share, also thanks to Jambo:
All of these locations should feel familiar and yet completely new at the same time. Something we've been trying really hard to do is add a level of fidelity to these old maps like no one has ever attempted, sometimes going as far as remaking them from scratch. Also to that end, we've been trying to replace old models and materials with remakes/reinterpretations wherever possible. As an example, most pipe models in the game unfortunately stand out for being very low res/low poly. We've found that they can clash pretty badly with an environment that's more detailed. I've been attempting to remedy this with some new modular pipe model sets created from scratch:
I promise that this update is just scratching the surface. We have exciting progress to report in many areas, including:
- Weapon development
- Npc development
- New mod options
- New features
- Additional maps not shown here
- Choreography
But you'll have to wait for the next article to hear more.
As always, I'm very grateful for your time and attention. Let us know what you think of this progress and if you want to connect with us, please join our discord.

This mod is in my opinion one of the better beta mods since I like the original story a bit less then we got in the retail game but mixing elements of both is for me a good way of doing it hope this mod will be an amazing popular mod in the far future atleast to some extent atleast :D
for me this mod is up there with raising the bar redux and dark interval its a great concept and suprises me that nobody has done anything similair to it in the past. on a diffrent note hope its still being worked on cant have a good concept go to waste!
when is this going to get a update?
Sometime this year
Honestly, for work... if I understand one person? I'm not surprised that it takes so long, but I admit that after version 1.1 I feel that in the final version... this mod will literally be almost what Half Life 2 Beta could have been if Valve had left it as it was :D
