This is the pack of HD weapons for Half-Life: Echoes, featuring high quality versions of weapons to match its astonishing visuals.
This final version features every weapon found in Echoes, plus some bonus content. P_models aren't present in this pack, as you won't see them in normal gameplay. This pack also features new HD sounds for weapons, and many models feature fullbright textures if you preffer playing on Xash3D engine or other GoldSrc derivatives that support fullbright.
Please note, that these weapons and models were made and tested specifically for Echoes, and may not work properly in regular Half-Life, or other mods.
I would like to thank Sven Co-op and Gamebanana communities for giving a lot of useful advice, as well as Admer456, Omega, and Anton, for helping me with sounds, and Cliffton Vlodhammer, Norman Roger, and MTB, for giving me permission to use their work for this pack. Detailed credits are included in the pack

need also hd models characters and others objects
I didn't originally plan to add NPC models, as i felt they're already high-quality enough, but i had plans to add HD Osprey and Apache as a bonus models for full version. I wouldn't count on adding new NPCs after the fact, the development of this pack already took long enough
I love this models
