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.

this hasn't actually stopped development but ungrateful fools here have started flamewars so the developer has decided to only update his own website on any new news. this guy has spent years developing it out of his own free time to try and deliver what he felt was the best experience possible from hl2 and fools just start flamewars, don't like? then don't come here...

Ungrateful? What should I be grateful for? This ****** mod?
Your even played that or it's simply choke your PC? :P
If it's ****** why you come here comment it? Or you like spend your time putting nose into ****? XD
True. But most of hatred in such cases comes from jealousy. "That bad, that not right, etc." - Answer is - Do better! Simple as that.
Waiting for v. 11 :)
That mod is an EPIC WIN!
**** the Haters - "Behind every successful person lies a pack of haters!" Remember that!
But I don't have Episodes so I let myself to do some work on this to run with HL2 only. (I bought it on STEAM while Sale-Off)
Maybe think about some HL2 only version to be DL from your site?
I saw it in readme.txt file in mod. Was so hard to ask about it and not call names around?
"Look amazing again..." That's like saying sticking makeup on a girl makes her look more amazing. That's an opinion if there ever was one. HL2 already and still looks amazing. FF's art style is different from hl2's slightly so it's not really making hl2 look like anything but higher res.
I apologize that stating a fact is apparently bitching and moaning.
It's called intellectual property buddy. Copyright laws and such.

@TheVman Hippocratic tosser, you trying to tell me you never pirated any music? or the fact you never played some mods like GoldenEye Source or Earth's Special Forces? You are a nincompoop, lol what a word.
But he actually MADE THEM and they were used without his permission. And using Goldeneye Source as an example is stupid because remaking a game as a mod is allowed as long as the developer doesn't give a **** which in the case of Goldeneye, they don't. STFU.
