The best beta era in my opinion

@antlionguardinc Aaah thanks a lot for pointing it out, I'll fix it right away

@krazart
2002 Materials got taken down

what if I use this collection with this
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3368688575

Glad I helped, enjoy!!

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thank you!!

@Jgamering What the description means by that, is that you can obviously still play the episodes, but some content from them might not get replaced

The description says that this pack isn't made for the Episodes, but are the episodes still playable with the mods enabled? Or are there specific mods in the pack that just break the episodes?

i ported the posters to retail

that awesome

i really like this mod pack

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3514295830 this unlike ANY E3 2003 Metrocop restoration its actually from Half-Life 2 Beta Mega Build

thanks for making this, really underrated era

love this so much
cant wait for new mods to get added so it gives me an excuse to play it again

will you be adding the sniper rifle or the I-rifle to this collection?

Ic, mb then

@Theplayerthatexists It's used to fix a missing model/texture error with the 2002 Nature mod.

The leak models pack you have attached doesn't replace anything, its for mappers to use lmao

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3398213977 this addon has a more accurate apc

@krazart i mean yes you can use it

sure why not

@boyjedi Hey that's actually a very cool line, mind if I use it?

the tagline should be same game different era

@the dino enjoyer I would make it compatible with the episodes, but I fear that's the modders' responsibility, not mine. I only collect them and bundle them up neatly so that way they all work well together.

could it be possible to make this compatible for the episodes as well?

Personally, I don't really find much impact in adding that to the collection, since it doesn't change much the perception of the gameplay, either in a good or bad way.
But feel free to subscribe to the workshop version on top of this collection all you want, you're not restricted to my list. I only give you 2002 base, you do the rest on your own.

Consider adding this classic in the collection: https://gamebanana.com/mods/11325

@tgirlpyrohuntress:3 You're right! Thanks.

this elena mossman model is much more accurate and i think it should be added

Hey, thanks man! really happy you enjoy it.

I've been working on this collection for some time now, even going as far as uploading, porting and/or modifying content to match the 2002 look.
I intend to update this pretty regularly too, as a means to minimize any kind of bloat or just to choose the best of the best mods in terms quality I can find.

Be sure to share this collection with anyone who might be interested lmao, have a great day!

Oh nice, althogh I do think the beta cars match more with the year 2001 and prior, and look a bit too polygonal for the vision I'm aiming for. Thanks either way!

You might like my beta cars mod too

I already have quite a few beta mods uploaded, such as this one: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3392009091

Thanks man, I'll put it in the collection now! Hey, if you end up doing more uploads, I'll be sure to check those out too!

I recently uploaded this barnacle mod that more accurately represents the early barnacles from the leak: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3391986149

If you don't like how it's rootless, there is another upload linked in the description with the original barnacle textures, including the beta root textures.
