Entirety of Half Life 2's development repository has been leaked. 33GB of files!

This is probably everything made for Half Life 2 EVER, I think we're eating good with this one.

This apparently includes old concept art of characters, i personally dont have a link to it though, still thought everyone here should know

This seems like a good place to post the highlights of our Half-Life cosplay era. We loved doing these, and still talk about doing more, but the Doc and I aren't getting any younger and he's not sure a graying Freeman is something that people want to see. Enjoy, or not, it's up to you!

Got a collector’s edition tin a while back, and today I’ve decided to go through the hint book.

There’s some pretty interesting guides and concept arts in the booklet, thought I’d share with you lot!

Will you be celebrating today? And how?

People often recreate the nihilanth with it having a big scary mouth with pointy teeth when in actuality his mouth is really small and very sunken into his face with fluid dripping from his lips, which really just shows how gross the nihilanth is as a design

(And yes I did just trace from the screenshot lol)

Dr. Jones survived the initial Resonance Cascade and got out with Vance and Kleiner following the events of Half-Life 1. After the Seven Hour War, she was relocated to City 17 and later moved into Black Mesa East as a Resistance member until the return of the Freeman. "Dr." Jones is technically a misnomer- she was only a Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics) at the time of the Resonance Cascade, and everything after that left her unable to finish her program. 20 years of indispensable skill at Black Mesa East earned her the "honorary" title of Doctor, and some members of the Resistance call her Doc.

this is the most saddest thing un the entire univese i cried while making this

Some of these weapons i suggest are actually in the game just hidden in the console, or obtained through cheats.

Or weapons that were MEANT to appear in the game but got cut late in development.

-Alyx’s Gun-

One of the most missed potential weapons, however instead of retail half life 2 i think it would’ve made sense for it to appear in Episode 2 and have it as your primary pistol/smg before giving it back to Alyx when she finnally gets revived.

-The stunstick however-

is available and it’s viewmodel is also finnished. You can get it by typing “stunstick_enable 1” and instesd of getting 7% battery you can get it as a second melee weapon, does it have anything interesting?

….no…

….Does it deal…more damage then the crowbar….?

….no….but it’s cool…

-Now the flaregun is interesting, it’s used by combine soldiers and metrocops in the game as a way to see through the dark-

It’s like the revolver- except- well it shoots red flares that if you hit an enemy with you can set them on fire. It would’ve been cool in Ravenholm or during highway 17 or dark parts of the game.

-SLAM-

I find it amusing how this weapon appears in deathmatch and gmod but not HL2? It’s a shame because i think it would’ve been really cool.

I think this weapon likely would’ve been obtained around Nova prospekt and probably had a role in Entanglement as you set up traps for the combine.

It would’ve been useful in sections of games where you have to set up traps for the combine.

MMHHHMMHH TAU CANNON MY BABBBYY MHHHH I MISS YOU SO MUCH MMMHH HHMMHHHHH

It’s such a SHAME they got cut. Hmph. AND IT HAD IT’S OWN DIALOUGE TOO! Hmmph.

I've been on this sub for years and I'm a huge Half-Life fan. Half-Life is the main reference for the FPS I'm making solo, so I wanted to share this here. This isn't the final version, the town is still a blockout.

I made this a year ago. It's destroyed now. :(

Took me weeks to build.

Why he looks like Bryan Cranston

The writing is so phenomenal it actually was able to convince you into thinking these are characters you should be well acquainted with despite them being completely new characters made specifically for HL2 and are never explicitly featured in HL1.

I beat Half-Life 2 for the first time recently, so I'm very engaged with the franchise, also because of the recent leaks about HL3 and Episode 3. Someday I intend to do a full drawing of Freeman and other characters, I went practically a year without drawing, so I'm still a little bit rusty. For an unpretentious drawing, I really like the result.

I absolutely love when theres some kind of huge beast in a deep ocean (like the kraken type stuff) and especially when its foggy like it was on the bridge I first thought there was something lurking in the water which made me also pretty scared to cross it

So i just kind of hoped that there would be some sort of water creature id have to deal with eventually (like the ichythyosaur we saw when the teleporter was malfunctioning at the start of half life 2) seeing it made me so hyped because i thought that id later have to deal with it (since also scared of deep water)

I also know that they are in half life 1 but I havent played it since I could have only afforded one of the games and still havent gotten around to buying hl1
