  • What is the song PLZ!

  • Does this overwrite the original game? I need to know before I download...

  • @THELEGOMack All Half-Life 2 mods are separate from the base game.

  • I know i havent download this because im using a 32 bit windows, The Good = The graphics are like GTA 4 (well a little bit) nice textures, The Bad = The Characters suck and this mod is only for 64 bit windows and that BS.

  • my god, those character models are horrible

  • 1GB XFX ATi Radeon HD 5770 stock clocked

    i5 650 3.2Ghz stock clocked

    8GB DDR3 RAM

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

    I run this game like boss >:D. Lowest FPS I've seen was 30fps but only for 2 seconds in a very detailed and bloom-ified area :0 usually 70-150 fps

  • hahaha these people have no artistic integrity

    why is mossman a huge breasted teenager in a tiny top

    why did they think father grigori would be improved by giving him a monk's robe!?

    it's like the people behind this are as simple minded as ten year olds, haha.

    HAY GUYS U KNOW THE PRIEST GUY HOW ABOUT HE WEARS A SACK WHY DIDN'T VALVE THINK OF THAT LOLOLOLOL

  • whats the music from.......

  • @Davidopoland its one day by hans zimmer and yes its from the pirates of the caribbean 3

  • Not sure about the requirements, Nelson. You say we need a 64 bits OS, yet the CM 9 "Base version" on your website says "32 bits ready". Is that version 100% compatible with 32 bits, or not really?

    Thanks a lot.

    (BTW, I´m running a Q6600, 3 GB RAM, 260 GTX, Win 7 32)

  • @1650million I'm not Fakefactory, and I haven't tried the base version.

  • @Nelson9078 Sorry about that, somehow I thought you were him, don´t know why...

    Cheers!

  • @1650million

    whata question.. EVERYTHING is compatible with 32 bits. EVERYTHING no exeptions. U mean 64bit maybe...

  • @Davidopoland Read first, then correct people. It always works like that...

  • Epic...

  • whats cinematic mod for? what does it do?

  • @windson7 It's a HD Resolution Texture Pack. With this pack you can have HDR ; HD Models ; Source engine from Orange box ect. . But you must have a 64 bits Windows , but the Cinematic mod 4 ( 32 Bits ) is cool ;)

  • @yohan80 boo!

  • This mod is completely AWESOME ! If you don't like this you are idiot or you don't have eyes.

  • FU.. YOU ALL THİS MOD İS AWSOME

  • wtf POTC music

  • I hate the main characters reskins, but I do like everything else, and giving the resistance fighters actual armor is a nice touch, instead of wearing a beanie for head protection. "AHHH I GOT SHOT IN THE HEAD BY A SNIPER! But my scalp is so warm and fuzzy from this hat."

  • I like the way that the textures help iluminate the scenery.

  • So, does CM 10 include everything is the past 9 versions? Or it is that there is 10 different versions?

  • @Zandieer Every Cinematic Mod includes additions or replacements to the previous version's content.

  • @Nelson9078 It doesent reaplce, but it's only a Modification. Lucky that it don't replace anything. But you can still replace it you place the files to the HL2 folder.

  • My god Gregori looked like a super hero after that door kick.

  • 19 dislikes = trolls or fucking idiots.

  • Batman theme ftw

  • whats cinematic mod all about

  • big boobs

  • haha the characters look like cheap CGI

  • For all the haters READ THIS

    THE NEW MODELS AND MUSIC IS OPTIONAL

    so stop bashing this mod, because they did a great improvement on the graphic engine of half life 2

  • @EngimaXT

    That's just your opinion. Many of us see the new visuals as something that just NOT fit in with the Half Life 2 mood. There is a difference between "good graphics" and "good style". Many of us feel these upgrades are a poor style for HL2

  • Ok , i see that there was some effort put in this , and that is great , but this intro thingie , this orchestral music...its just not half life... Half life , with its own music gives you the sad and depraving image of how things are grim and bad , almoast catatonic... This sounds like LOTR opening... Half Life 2 is not a hollywood blockbuster , its way more cruel , dark and hopeless... I mean , take a look at City 17 listening to original music and this... Somehow it doesnt fit...

  • I understand your viewpoint, but it's called "Cinematic" mod for a reason. It's just for people who want something different when they play through the game again, and I think it's a quite refreshing new playthrough. If you don't like it, then don't use it, it's as simple as that.

  • @camydoger do the cinematic mod has bether graphics ?

  • @TheZeroFighter The textures are of a higher resolution, the models have a bigger polycount. As to whether you prefer the new look over "vanilla" HL2 is entirely down to your opinion.

  • 1:40 :OOOOOOO

  • It sucks... This is not Half-Life any more. Characters are like from some shitty RPG...

  • @DJAmAtor Can't you read? The character models and music change ARE OPTIONAL.

    THEY ARE OPTIONAL.

  • I've shit things that look better then FakeFactory's character models

  • Wow I've been living under a rock. I'm still using Version 3!

  • @CALAdmin88 Version 10 is also out.

  • 2:45 xD this guy looks like in Ghotic 3 :D

  • gentlemen, it's awesome.

  • love the epic music

  • the music at the beginning is from Pirates of the Caribean 3

  • What's that first piece of music from? The second is from Batman Begins/The Dark Knight, but I can't tell about the music at the beginning...

  • New textures look amazing, new character skins look like crap. They look like manikins from Macys now. Also the new soundtrack is crap, the original had the right kind for the right situation.

  • Character skins: They don't have any wrinkles, that's probably why. That, and they're a bit too shiny.

    Soundtrack: I have to disagree with you here, I love orchestral soundtracks, and with a few exceptions, the selection of pieces is quite fitting and effective.

  • I like orchestral music as well but not for Half Life 2. Orchestral music in games exist to make the situation more "epic", and Half Life 2 is epic enough, the upbeat techno/rock tracks of the original soundtrack was a perfect fit for HL2.

  • ATTENTION EVERYONE WHO'S FIGHTING.

    STFU, AND GO PLAY HALF-LIFE.

    [pg]

  • i didn't know the source engine is capable of this. i finished hl2 three times now i take them, again with this mod.

  • why does mossman have such pointy tits? lol

    but this is good, it's just some of the models are kinda... meh

  • Funny how everyone likes to talk shit about this mod, when it looks amazing for a 2004 game. If you don't like the new character models (I don't either) then don't install them, simple! Everything else in the Cinematic Mod is amazing. The new soundtrack gives it a movie - like feel, which is what I always thought of Half Life because of it's great story. And if there's something that you don't like, then go and make a new mod yourself instead of saying what YOU don't like.

  • Very well said Scarface and about time. Too many people seem to bitch only about the new *optional* HD models and very little about how much of a reworking graphically he's done to an already amazing game!

  • Thanks, and it's good to see another person who appreciates everything this mod offers. It's a great mod to hold me off until Episode 3 comes out : )

  • Tbh anyone who wants to talk shit or complain about the models has every right to do so without being rebuked. As good a job as the guy did, he really messed up the models. They're an important part of the feel of the game, and having pornstar Alyx just makes the whole thing feel completely wrong.

    ...And no actually, he makes use of the Orange Box Source engine, which became available to modders at 2007.

  • Again, the character models are all OPTIONAL, so your looking stupid repeating the same thing over that everyone else already said.

    The regular character models are still in the mod, and they are higher quality and texture than the original ones.

    And Cinematic Mod 10 has an Alyx HD model that is identical to the original.

  • You fail to realize people aren't complaining about the pornstar HD models themselves, but the lack of an HD 'normal' model. I haven't bothered downloading CM10, but last I checked the HD normal alyx was simply a reskin. Textures alone don't make the cut, simple as that. The issue here is that the author didn't stay as true to the game as many people would like.

  • Seems like you're a little spoiled child?? It's not good enough for YOU, that the modder took his time to make the entire game over with better visuals. No, you want a perfect mod that's free? So as I stated earlier, since you think the characters are so bad, and the normal ones arent good enough, why dont you make some???

    Without this mod, there would be no HD Half Life, or ANY HD characters. The modder took EXTRA time to add HD characters from SCRATCH, whether theyre good or bad.

  • Hey dude, chill out a little. He was just stating his opinion. Don't get your panties in a twist because someone disagrees with you.

  • Actually he got mad a long time ago, so why dont you read back through the comments before you decide to defend.

  • You're the one blowing something he said out of proportion. And honestly I don't feel like reading through yet another YouTube comment fight.

    The first thing I see him saying is from two months ago. And he was stating his opinion. There is nothing wrong with that last time I checked. You may not agree with him, but trying to argue over the internet is pointless.

    Just let it go, really.

  • Oh the irony. Please look back and see who started using insults first. Obviously your temper is writing your responses, rather than your actual brain. According to your profile, you're a college student. Conduct yourself accordingly, please.

    My point remains that CM, despite the remarkable quality and quantity of work that is in it, still fails to capture the feel of HL2. All you've accomplished so far is establishing yourself as a raving fanboy getting worked up over one person's opinion.

  • No actually Ive stated all FACTS in my comments, whereas, you've stated a bunch of OPINIONS. So the obvious fanboy here is you, being that all you like to do is state your opinions to render this mod as "bad".

    Fact: This mod makes Half Life 2 look alot better

    Fact: The HD moels are optional

    Fact: Nothing is lost from the origianl game with this mod

    Fact: CM10 has an original HD Alyx model

    Opinion: "Textures alone don't make the cut, simple as that."

    Opinion: "I dont like the HD models"

  • That's exactly the point dude. IT'S HIS FUCKING OPINION. All he was doing was stating his opinion about the game.

    Fact: You take this shit WAY too seriously.

    Fact: You started this fight for no reason

    Fact: You need to calm down

  • What are you, this guys older brother or something? Where the fuck did your rowdy, narrow minded, opinionated, quite possibly abused as a child, dick riding, ass come from? No one is talking to you here, so your opinions on me don't phase me one bit.

    And you're right, it is his opinion. Does that leave any discussions out about his opinion. Why is it such a problem for YOU, that I'm questioning his responses and logic on the subject at hand here? Huh? Am I not allowed to DISCUSS because of YOU

  • 1. Fanboys are people who viciously defend things (you), or attack things in behalf of other things (not me).

    2. Please show me where I have stated that this mod is "bad".

    3. "This mod makes HL2 look alot better" is an opinion. "Nothing is lost form the original game with this mod" can only be a fact if you refer to the virtual content that the game and mod uses. Otherwise, this is an opinion.

    At least you've gotten over your insults problem.

  • seems to me like you cant stand people questioning your opinions.

    Seems to me like everything you say, you want to be the end of any discussions.

    And nobody has to be all calm and gentle like you apparently want. What are you some kind of faggot, little girl, that cant be talked to with curse words? If so then, go cry in a corner.

    Whatever methods that I use to convey my points to narrow minded, spoiled children like you, is how I comment.

  • So when I say, youre a whiny little bitch who complains about optional things that are free, you'd se that i mean it from the bottom of my heart. Okay cupcake?

  • Ahahah, now you're doing the tough guy routine?

    You, sir, have my sympathy. I'll leave you to your "superior" HD Alyx pornstar models.

  • No it's not a tough guy routine, too bad if I appear scary and threatening to you in some way. It just proves of how much of a bitch you really are, and where's your new YouTube boyfriend, did I get too offensive for him too?

  • Lol cry some more, it's entertaining reading what you have to say.

    Q.Q

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Hahah, still trying?

    Look, I know it's hard getting your ass handed to you, but quite frankly I'm tired of getting email notifications every time you try to make yourself feel better. I suggest you go do something constructive, like say, art, or maybe take an anger management class.

  • No I am not his older brother. I'm simply his friend, and I'm doing what friends do by defending him from some douchebag on the internet. When have I been rowdy? How was I narrow minded? How can you possibly assume I was abused as a child? Now you're basing your arguments on bloated assumptions, attempting to insult me over the internet as if doing so is some display of power.

  • Your whole arguement is based on his opinion, something you happen to disagree with. That's life, get over it. Not everyone is going to agree with you. I have no problem with you stating your opinion as well, nor did I ever say or Imply I had a problem with it. I was trying to prevent this argument from getting out of control, but apparently it didn't work, again, because your dumbass self blew something someone else said out of proportion.

  • He said you're ACTING like a tough guy. That in no way implies that he is afraid of you. And just because I didn't reply right away doesn't mean I was offended. At least I didn't sit at my computer hitting refresh every four seconds so I can reply and make myself look like an utter and complete fool, like you.

  • I won't bother trying to calm you down, because some pseudo-tough guy from New York that acts tough on the internet because he is likely the opposite in real life apparently can't be calmed down.

    Lastly, bite me. I'm done arguing with you. As for me and my friend, we will continue to make fun of your foolishness elsewhere.

  • Really it wont be on youtube, at least with those accounts. haha, hope you have another account to use.

  • Like I said, tough guy routine.

    You won't be reaching me on your current account. Hopefully that'll encourage you do actually do something worthwhile with your time.

  • make sure you dont log off. And its not a tough guy routine, when i tell you to meet me, and you back down pussy.

  • what happened? You didnt log off did you? I told you not to log off. hahahaha

  • Lol, you do realize that we live about 2500 miles apart. If you want to hop on a plane and come all the way down to california to ATTEMPT to kick my ass, feel free, I'll be waiting. But trying to literally get in a fight over the internet is the most foolish thing you've said/done this whole time, and it further proves what an idiot you are.

    Oh and I'm not some kid either, I assure you I at least have a height advantage.

    Otherwise, I'm done, I'll simply ignore anything else you say. Good day.

  • "Textures alone don't make the cut, simple as that."

    And that is entirely your opinion, they may not make the cut for YOU, but Im sure alot of people who see that this is a game from 2004, know that they look fine for being a game that old.

    Fact is this mod adds alot of great content for FREE. You dont like the HD models, then leave them alone. There were no HD models to begin with before this mod, so you're not missing out on anything.

  • holy shit this is a scenic overlook! awsome!

  • eh. not enough texturing on the faces, they look completely unscarred and unatural

  • Do it yourself then.

  • this game is made in 2004...WOW!

  • New scenery is impressive but I personally cant stand the reskins for the characters.

  • @CakesOnAPlane9000

    no problem you can keep the originals via the character pimper tool that comes included!

  • my god these reskins are ugly...

  • any news on cinematic mod 10.0?

  • beta is out

  • well looks like i need a new graphics card

  • how the FUCK do u get this iv downloaded evey thinng followed all the stuff i still dont have it!

  • pvt, did you intsall CM 9 Base, CM 9.5 update and CM 9 HD models? And you have to have completed HL 0 to start a new game. AND you have to use the new shortcut which says "Half Life (Ep0)" or "Ep1) for Episode 1, (Ep2) for Episode 2.

  • YES STAFF SGT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i install every thing all at once i got all hl2 stuff i got CM 4.0 but when i download this 1 it like asks me 4 next volume the only way i know how to do that is a disk maby i have to have windows vista lolz i got XP

    and im a sgt now lolz (not in real life miltary)

  • Pvt,

    cm 4.0??? That is old. Why not use the latest version of CM 9.5? It was actually written so CM can run correctly on 32 bit XP systems. (At least that's what I've read.)

    Vista is useful because you can go over the 4GB (3GB actual) RAM limit imposed by 32 bit versions of XP since CM needs lots of memory for the HD models and such. I've got Win XP Pro myself and I can run CM, but sadly, not with the HD models, and that's with 2GB RAM.

  • i got t0 XP pro also but i just dont understand how to install it i got 9.0 epi 1 but ya the hd modles dont work i keep on trying to get the rest of this stuff butt its not easy to install like 4.0

  • i cant w8 till they make 1 that inproves the way the npc akt like charging rebels who like slide in to cover and Cinematic of gordon freeman it will b awsome number 10 beta is out

  • father grigori looks less detailed than in the plain old half life 2

  • The environments are simply amazing...

    I just wish the mod only made the character models super HD versions of the originals, not this huge ass/boobs shit. Sure it looks nice but it's simply not HL2 after that.

  • Same here

  • I completely agree. This is one of the main reasons I dont want to play this mod

  • You fucked up Mossman pretty damn bad.

  • Amazing, i am actually going to purchase Orange Box tomorrow!! This was good

  • The environments are amazing, but the character models. UGH.

  • Environments = Thumbs up

    Character Models = two thumbs down

  • frankly i dont know why people critisize the new models, its not necesserely to have them to play the game just download the base and your good to go.

  • nto rlly seeing the point in using fajkefactory so someone please tell me why its a benefit

  • the alyx character model is the only one i like the rest are ugly as fuck

  • How is the mod 9.5 supposed to be installed? Do i just install the 9.5 file or install the 9.0 base first? Also can i install the hd addon without win 64 bit but hav 4gb ram and a powerful gfx card

  • I believe you install base 9.0 first, then then 9.5 update, followed by the HD addon. As to the other, you should be good with the 4GB and the GFX card.

  • Win 64bit is required because of the 2GB-per-process limit that Win 32bit has. So it isn't possible for HL2 with cinematic mod to use more than 2GB at once in Win 32bit. That's why you need Win 64bit.

  • Was digging it up until new horrible character models with unreasonably large boobs

  • Boobs can't be unreasonably large. :D

  • Yes they can. Huge boobs arent even attractive :/

  • *pulls a pistol out of his back pocket* I'm afraid we can't have any such nonsense.

  • It is astonishing how crap the new character models are. Take good designs from Valve and then poop on them. Who thought it was a good idea?

  • @retread01 Character pimper FTW, I use almost all the default character models

  • It looks like Maine, I HATE Maine.

  • I found a way to use this mod using a torrented version of EP 2.

  • boo go frigging buy the game

  • OMFG!!!

    How Great is this??

    Is there the ability to use the Cinematic mod for you own maps and Content build withe the Hammer?

  • llllet's put a smmiiiile on that faacccce hee hee haa haa haa

  • I have a few questions.

    1) Can I play this with 2 gigs of RAM?

    2) I have legal copies of HL2 and HL2:ep1 but a torrented version of HL2:ep2. Would that work out well?

    3) ....I'm out of questions....

  • You *have* to have 4 Gigs of RAM, although I've heard you might get away with 3GB. But 2 GB won't let you play it, it'll crash on you if you try.

  • Nah, I just tried it. It works with two. Actually, it works very fine. But now I have another question. Character Pimper didn't come with it. Where do I get it?

  • Actually, I retract thy statement. I need to turn Textures to Medium. Otherwise, I keep crashing. It feels like a waste though. I always get of 60 FPS with everything maxed out.

  • taitai, Yeah, but with only 2GB RAM and the textures down to Medium it doesn't looks like its supposed to.

  • I know. Sucks but I really only wanted CM for 1 character. I don't think I need to explain.

  • Whats the difference? I dont understand?

  • It's sickening to see all these complaints over something that somebody must have had to put a great deal of their own time and hard work into making just to share their creation with the HL2 community.

    It's not something that you've paid for.

    You don't have to download this mod.

    If you prefer the original game and its characters, then play it

    or learn how to model and do the whole fucking thing yourself if you aren't satisfied with what FakeFactory has to give you all.

  • FF needs to get a dev team together (if he hasn't already) and make his own Source game using all off these models. Different characters with different names, all in a different game.

  • BTW, does anyone know what music was used on this video? Danke!

  • End is the best... that Father Grigori skin is AWESOME

  • Comment removed

  • They completely fucked the main characters.

  • Comment removed

  • So where's the nude models and jigglebones bullshit? :P

    I use this mod, and it's pretty good if you want to step up the graphics for HL2, but the extra nude models and the jigglebones aren't really necessary.

  • I really like the mod, my only concern is the character models, if FakeFactory were to make a mod where the models of the characters were the same, (by same, I mean touched up, keeping the qualities VALVe intended but making the models look less 2004).

  • Reminds me of Alan Wake, early footage.

  • Character models in this mod have redefined the phrase "what the hell?!"

  • What's the first song from? it sounds really familiar.

  • pirates of the carribean 3 ost

  • atin cinematic mod 4 the latest version?

  • o.O Have you been under a rock for the past couple of years? They're working on 10 right now.

  • So I can have these cool new graphics and can use the old character models? The new ones look kinda crap

  • And the music too, any way to keep the old music? :)

  • Those shit-ugly character models kind of.. makes me not want to try this mod...

    Higher quality on textures and such is okay..

    But Alyx should be Alyx, and Barney should be Barney..

  • yeah! Not being busty anime-like babes makes Half Life² look so realistic: The charakters are believable 'cause they look like real people.

  • yup i agree

  • ummm... of course I meant the characters being realistic and so on... A game can't be a busty anime-babe... or can it? ;)

  • kind of a noob question i know but is this mod more cpu or gpu heavy i have a 9800 oc unfortunately i have a pentium 4 processor I think i get more fps on Crysis then Half Life 2 and if it increases the cpu req too much i dont think i should bother with the mod

  • Getting more FPS in crysis than Half life? Thats a lie.

    Half life runs at 120 fps + very easily whilst most top end gaming pc's cant run crysis above 40fps on high.

  • I wish it was i spent a shitton on my graphics card while i kept a bad cpu half life 2 relies on cpu while most of crysis is soley dependant on Gpu

  • It does not depend soley on GPU, its a very graphically instensive game sure, but it doesnt mean it doesnt use the cpu.

    A pentium II could probably run HL2 on max.

  • ok fine i know better then to argue with people on the internet you win

  • No, it doesn't!

  • Woot..

  • Its called exajerating, you fucking moron.

  • I'm just wondering but why do most of the girls look Asian? = |

  • It's brasilian

  • Shows how much I know. lol
