Half-Life 2: Amalgam Zenith hopes to be many things. The main goal is the complete replacement of the entire HL2 asset library with newer, higher quality overhauls or alternatives. To ensure we are making the best experience one can reasonably obtain, we've been rounding up some of the best HL2 mod makers from around the world and utilizing parts of their popular pre-existing standalone mods where we can. In doing so, we are removing the need for players to manually install tens and even sometimes hundreds of mods themselves to get a more modern HD look. This has the added bonus of removing the headache of troubleshooting personal mod packs and going more in depth than any one player ever could.
Textures have been AI upscaled to 4k with some additional minor enhancements. The pistol now has a rougher surface that looks more realistic than the Juniez original. The grip's texture has been replaced with an alternative. The sights have been modified to look more like HL:A but proper normals and high quality glow textures are still being worked on.
