Radi-8.com has released a version of Half-Life2 with HDR Bloom effect.
Now featuring the bloom effect, much like you would see on World Of Warcraft. It makes the game look even that much better. This mini-mod requires a video card that can use Vertex & Pixel Shader 2.0.

It's nice ... wish there is simple way how use it with css :)
Blast my 9200!!! Oh well atleast i can run HL2 on max...I dont like light bloom (Glow) anyways.
Tried it.
Games just arent MEANT to look that pretty.
Really, it's distracting i find and i feel like im Playing Deus Ex Invisible War (Terrible game)
so...unless you like a feminine feeling visual experience or have a lust for playing through the eyes of someone with watery eyes, i think you should stick with the vanilla.
my two cents.
Good work on the mod though.
Bloom is only effective if you're standing inside in the dark and looking outside at a sunny place. Otherwise its just too glowy.
