Why should it be as colourful as Episode 2? A more colourful palette might not suit the story, setting and atmosphere.

Calicoyoda, I did, it was terrible.

It didn't match her character at all, it was like seeing Gordon Freeman being replaced by a big breasted school-girl.

Sounds like somebody never played HL1. More colorful? Seriously?
It should be law to play the first game before you bother with the HL2 BS. Then you can pass your judgments.

Difference of opinion is not welcome here, have some negative karma and go away.

There is huge support here for the mod, and a bit of criticism gets buried. Don't have to agree with it, should be discussed though, not tucked away, unless its obvious trolling, which this not...

How about you remake it instead of bitching about it? I'm sure you have way more talent than everyone that worked on this mod, please tell me every major project you worked on that got nearly as much notoriety as this did.

You're dumb as hell and completely missed his point. He was talking about it looking better. Honestly, with my AA cranked all the way up and the texture quality on Very High, game looks bad ***. To be fair, after 8 years, I figured it'd be more visually appealing, but I'm not going to cry about it. The game is great. The mapping is extremely well done, the models look good, the voice acting is top notch, etc. Someone posts a comment contrary to your beliefs and you guys all go apeshit. Settle the **** down. People are entitled to other opinions.

And to all the FAKEFACTORY haters: Go **** yourselves. He may not be able to model very well, but he did a hell of a lot more than you've ever done with your lives. CM11 is ******* beautiful. Sorry your dial-up can't handle the download.

The fact that you actually thought a modern Duke Nukem game was ever a good idea amazes me.
I always thought they'd abandoned it. Then, when it was confirmed, I lost hope that they'd finally let a good series of games expire on a good note.
