FakeFactory Cinematic Mod
Half-Life 2 mod | Released Oct 3, 2005
This project has gone non-public. I'm really tired of the braindead comments about optional HD
models. Shall all the whiners create something better. CM has become a just-for-fun project again.
Imagine, a Hollywood producer got his hands on the game. The result would be similar to what the Cinematic Mod is: a graphics blockbuster, redesigned to the typical game to movie adaption with an orchestral soundtrack and beautiful people everywhere.
A graphical / music total conversion of the Half-Life 2 storyline. You need Half-Life 2 + EP1 + EP2 and a 64Bit windows system to play this modification. (Mac OSX supported soon)
PURPOSE (Version 10.42)
- Unified Engine; play the game (HL2 / EP1 / EP2) with the latest Orangebox engine / Advanced HDR / new shadow effects
- Enhance the old HL2 maps with HDR, blooming, color-correction, new props, dynamic shadows
- Eliminate the visible world-skybox transitions in the maps. Cinematic Mod maps are looking much bigger than they are.
- Eliminate all blurry / Lowres textures with new Highres textures and/or Hires-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 (mostly based on the ultra-detailed Poser Pro mechs)
- Add ironsight
- Add dynamic shadow simulation with the help of env_projected_textures
- Add more replay-value and a fresh new style
- ALL features are optional and selectable with an comfortable configuration-tool.
Gun and some spite effects from TheVMan's Ultra Effects Pack

Latest News: FakeFactory's Cinematic mod 12
9 comments by medve on Feb 13th, 2013
Fakefactory’s legendary Half-Life 2 graphical upgrade mod has been updated to the 12nd version this winter. If you guys haven’t heard of it, it’s called Cinematic mod, and started as a really simple texture pack for characters, just to train himself for modding…now, it has became a lot more.
The mod has totally changed the feel of the game to a more realistic / darker / „cinematic” level. Unfortunatly this was the whole reason, why some narrowminded half life fanboys have started to hate the mod. After a while the mod has become an „outlander” on moddb, and the development has gone private. Good news is, I have updated the moddb profile with the last two verrsions: 11.35 is the last stable version, however it is damn dark, i can’t see a thing sometimes. 12.21 is a lot more polished on the ligtning front, however it has some invisible walls sometimes, and you have to noclip through.
The mod doesn’t show up int he steam library anymore, it has its own launcher now. The launcher also inclueds a character pimper: you can choose among the custom skins for all the main characters, and it’s possible to play with the original Alyx. Some of the mod fans had a problem (such as myself) with the „pimped out” Alyx, since poor thing is a "bit" bulimic, and has so much makeup, that an avarage girl's head would not be able to handle the weight of it. This also goes for the female rebel characters unfortunatly.
But as I said, all characters are optional before anyone starts to hang himself. However theres another slighter disadvantage: the minimum config. If you want to enable all the incredibly sexy features, you also have to have at least 4gb of ram, and at least a powerful dual core processor. I played it with my little i3 processor, and had no lag while recording it in fraps 720p, so it’s not that terrible. This is my simple eat @ medve walkthrough of EP1 and EP2 (i will do a lets play with the pimped out HL2 with my extremely boring voice if i have the time).
The download link can be found here, these are all torrents. If you have trouble downloading torrents, theres a long mirror list ont he official cinematic mod site (I recommend the maverick server links, which are also posted in the download comments).

The characters are beautiful. The mapping is gorgeous. The only quarry I have are the iron sights. Could use a more COD feeling. Other than that, absolutely brilliant.

This mod is HORRIBLE.It's basicly Half Life 2 with "better" graphics. The new NPC models are horrible and the weapons don't fit into Half Life 2 AT ALL. The mapping is okay, but still bad. This is a total failure. DO NOT GET IT.

Guys look.... the point of this mod was to show what the source sdk was capable of. Not to make hl2 better....
[Begin Rant]
No, seriously, all of you nazis who complained about this mod can stick it up yer ***** until it comes out your noses. Now see what you've done? The guy took offense and pretty much quit because his uber high quality FREE and OPTIONAL stuff got bashed by one too many braindead mindless idiot. WTF is the problem with you people? You don't like it then don't play it and STFU... really, you think you can do any better? Thought so.
[/End Rant]
does this build have optional models for any of ther characters, or do you just get 1 high res model, and if you don't like it your stuck?
No, as said a trillion times, it comes with a program called "Character Pimper". It allows you to change between default HL2 models and his selection of HD models.
My gameplay video from that mod (all set to High with all goodies): Youtube.com
Enjoy!
sadly I can't play this because my pc can't run hl2. But the new Alyx looks hot! This looks fun as hell. When I update my PC I'll be sure to download :D
Just to let sum ppl know - for work that mod need HL2 and Episode 2!!! Ep. 1 isn't needed really, and now for those who have only HL2 - on STEAM there's Ep.2 for 1 $, so buy it and play the mod. :)
I play with all maxed out and in Full HD and it look BRILLIANT!!!!!
He made the mod, no changing that. If you like it, download it. If you don't, then don't download it. Simple.
In Soviet Russia mods downloading you. XD

it's gonna take a lot more than high poly, poorly proportioned adriana lima to "rejuvenate" hl2's graphics.
