CMAO (ver.1.0) news

The "Basic Branch" (Cinematic Mod: Awakening - Origins (basic branch)) is supposed to satisfy the people who doesn't like the FakeFactory's character models and other non-canon things available in "Extended Branch".
What this means is that the "Basic Branch" will include as much vanilla content/assets as possible (but slightly updated here and there, no drastic changes), leaving only the visually enhanced maps and some visuals from original game. This also means a smaller download size for this "basic" version.

This is the lite version of the mod that includes only HD reskins of Valve models (+ HD materials, Volumetric fire, New effects and Particles) and slightly enhanced HL2 campaign maps without expansions present in Extended Branch. No FF character models or drastic location changes can be found in this version.
