There is indeed a lot of new stuff, and all of it looks excellent*. I'm really looking forward to this mod.
*well, everything except bob the scientist, but that one's not from this update

Damnit, does it have to do a stupid flash effect every time I view a screenshot?!?!
But yeah, I'm really looking forward to this mod. Can't wait!

Excellent screenshots, fan-fucking-tastic music (topside gives off an almost SS2 vibe and the main theme is excellent, really good quality), I can't wait. It'll be like experiencing it as a new game all over again.

Yes I'm absolutely impressed. While the overall quality is very high anyway, it's obvious that some mappers of the team are better than others : some of these screens (Inbound, Blast Pit, Residue processing...) ooze awesomeness. The enemy models are also really well done : the gargantua, the new zombie... wow I just can't wait :D
Oh, and to ChickenMcOwnage : if you open them in new tabs, there is no flash viewer. Website is very nicely done.
EDIT : oh and as scots said, the music is great. It may even be better than the un-surprising, generic tracks from the original game.

It looks great and meh at the same time.

This could only be the case if you thought HL was 'meh'.
And Briareos, I actually liked the D&Bish HL tracks. I thought it was nice the way they kicked in and faded out, little bursts of adrenaline music.

I did not find them bad per se, but I think that parts of the soundtrack were stock music from cheap soundbank CDs (I especially recall hearing two of them in stupid TV movies). While they were great during the action, they were not quite really impressive as standalone songs.

I refuse to acknowledge mods untill they are finished.
It's kinda hard with some though. Like this one.

I have been keeping my eyes on this one for a while, if they pull it off to release the whole original HalfLife updated; woah.
Looks beeeeeeautiful by the way. :D
