Actually, looks like there are a lot of HD textures used.

Thanks!
We work almost entirely to a 0.50 texture scale, so probably only around 5% of the textures we use are from Half-Life. We've made the rest, as we decided early on not to use other peoples' wad files. We have well over a thousand completely new textures.

Nice work but maybe you and Urby should touch up on the base Hl sky box's as they are quite blurry even with the distance away from those cliffs it still looks pixelated. But that is just me and i don't even know exactly how to make a sky box or change one. :)

We've considered it but upping the scale requires development work. We'll probably just use 3d skyboxes.

Yep, mop35 is right about the skybox, but it is a good thing you are concidering 3d skyboxes. I love the signs (or vending machines? I can't really tell) and I really like the lens flares on the truck! J.J. Abrams anyone? :D

Keep up the awesome work!

This is unbelievable. Every single pic you guys have posted of your mod is just astonishing. You guys are almost like Valve's doppelganger in a way. LOL. :3

We gathered together who we could, Andrews, but I'm not going to lie to you... There aren't many of us left and these labcoats barely know which end to point at the enemy.
