Presumably, the creator has decided the update is big enough to justify its own standalone release, and it’ll apparently put the previous Update “to shame”. It featured a complete overhaul of the game’s lighting system, new particle and fog effects, many bug fixes, and even a fun Community Commentary Mode – all without sacrificing Half-Life 2’s visual look.įilip Victor’s next project is this new Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection, which was spotted on SteamDB and sounds like it was originally meant to just be a major patch for Half-Life 2: Update that incorporated Valve’s two episodic expansions.

Half-Life 2: Update initially launched in 2015 from community member and modder Filip Victor, and was good enough to get its own Steam page and support from Valve. Half-Life 2 Beta: 1.38GB: 3 April 2017: Half-Life 2 Beta: Mega Build: 3.58GB: 19 November 2018: Half-Life 2 WC Mappack Sorted: 198.55MB: 7 July 2017: Half-Life 2 WC Mappack: 148.94MB: 3 April 2017: HL2 Beta original map sources (decompiled) 11.49MB: 16 July 2017: Env Maps VR: 40. While sadly not an official Valve product, it is in fact the next version of the excellent Half-Life 2: Update mod from the same team – which will presumably include all the Episode DLC too. Fans of Valve’s iconic Half-Life series were excited to spot the sudden appearance of Half-Life 2: Remastered Collection on Steam this week.
