What is Cinematic Mod?
Cinematic Mod (CM) is a Half-Life 2 modification, that adds more details and a darker look to the original Half-Life 2 series.
Cinematic Mod 11
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
- Todo: Jamil Mullen based HD-Alyx (still not satisfied with my current work.)
- Todo: Valve-style HD-Alyx. I'll wait for the enhanced EP3 model to work with.
the project still stas private (private means in this case: wont update his moddb page due to the ammount of whining and crying from mentally challanged half life fanboys). however, ive updated the profile. uploaded some new pics, the last two versions: 11 and 12. 12 may have some bugs (like an invisible door, but you can noclip it).
its almost 9 gb, and 30gb if you install it...also you need a proper machine (quad processor, min 4gb ram)
also heres my ep1 walkthrough of the maxed out version:
Youtube.com have fun
