Raising the Bar is a mod based off of the idea of amalgamating the earliest concepts of Half-Life 2 into a coherent story. This mod is not a leak-fix, nor is it a concept art recreation gallery; it will be a full story with inspiration from the old material as well as our own ideas of how to make it all fit together.

A lovely new update for all of our followers. We've got quite a bit to show today!

Hey everyone!

It's been a little while since our last update, but never fear! We've been hard at work lately to get material done for all our lovely followers.

We've been mostly working on texturing and mapping lately, and we're proud to say that we've got quite a bit of progress done in that department.
First up is Krycek's textured MP5K. It's still being worked on but we thought the textures looked nice enough to show you guys. There's also a few other models in the gallery that you can see textured as well!

Next up is a few of our world textures that Megamawman has made for our mappers. You can find more variations in the image gallery. Bricks and cement everywhere!

Old Concrete/Stone Wall Texture 01

And last, but not least, we have a few screenshots of maps that we've been developing. One is a small arctic base made by Boker. Again, more images can be found in the gallery.

And we've got another mystery level for you guys! This one was made by Themcguireman. See if you can guess it!

That's all for now, we look forward to your comments!

This is really impressive work here. Thanks for the update but I feel guilty that I didn't get you anything for Valentines Day.
