Try to activate it, launch the game, then deactivate it

With the latest update valve released for half life, linux compatibility, the butt ugly hd pack has been switched on permanently, no idea why they did this.
So it can't be fixed atm.

All that rage

Quote from: Gedeon;33885346

intolerable and scandalous

put back LD models in. This garbage is not the game I paid for.

Quote from: AGRESSOR;33882022

This is really awful, why have you installed that HD pack? 9mmAR became M16/M4, are you serious?! This is my favorite game, I play it mostly everyday on servers, and now you have ruined it. Make it back, mr. Gabe Newell, for Celestia's sake!!!

I'm now asking you, devs, to roll these awful changes back or make the old models and sounds downloadable.
(anyway I will find it by myself now, I can't play normally with this!)
I'm sorry for being angry or something, but that just really freaks me out!

Quote from: Buckarooskij;33884020

Valve, I beg you. Please give us ability to use the normal version of Half-Life. I hate the HD pack to begin with, I belive the 1998 graphics belong to the 1998 game. Not 2001 graphics with a 1998 game. That is why I can never play one of these HD DOOM mods, no matter how high-end you make the graphics, the game itself is still a 1993 game. Also, this is going to drive me insane because of my OCD. Here we have one game with two expansions. The base game has one completely different look from it's expansions, which still use the normal Half-Life look.

If there's not going to be a way to use the traditional graphics, I'm not going to join any type of boycott group or anything like that. But definitely will browse around for an original Half-Life game box. And won't be playing the Steam version.

Fat nerds gonna nerd, this is the funniest shit in a long time. Yeah I know I'm huge nerd for finding it funny.

this is really strange in opposing force and blue shift (not unlocked the offical of steam) its doesn't use the offical unpatched hd models they just the original ld models so that means its only in the original half life
and in mod with nothing just to check it worked a override replacement for model but anything else was still the unpatched hd that means its reads from the hd gcf if there is no anything in models folder

Megan · « **Reply #15 on:** January 28, 2013, 03:38:59 PM »

I love how so many people seem to think the HD models are garbage, yet they were made better and look better than the default weapons.

Imperial Wizard · « **Reply #16 on:** January 28, 2013, 07:22:07 PM »

They are garbage, everything's out of proportion and the textures are flat, making everything look cartoony.
They're terrible from an artistic point of view.

Yet most of you make content based on stuff from the HD pack.

No shit Sherlock.

Megan · « **Reply #20 on:** January 29, 2013, 11:43:24 AM »

Sorry, it just didn't make very much sense there. I guess that means your hack-jobs are garbage too.

Quote from: Me,in another thread

I haven't made anything with Gearbox-made content since my work on SC4, and even then, it was only because I didn't have the sheer mass of time or manpower to remake and retexture everything. Trust me, it would have happened.

Alex · « **Reply #22 on:** January 29, 2013, 02:37:27 PM »

Just to weigh in, when the HD pack came out it did seem like a massive improvement. I'm not going to deny it has artistic shortcomings, but it's better than most of the contemporary models that came out for PC games back then.

Editor · « **Reply #23 on:** January 30, 2013, 04:37:45 AM »

I think we can all agree it didn't age well.

Anton · « **Reply #24 on:** February 08, 2013, 12:53:37 PM »

it sticks out too much from the rest of the game, I roll LD my men.

spforce · « **Reply #25 on:** February 09, 2013, 11:11:56 AM »
