Public Beta 0.7
Half-Life 2 Immersion Mod tries to recreate an atmosphere of playing Half-Life 2 on Serious Engine with ported weapons, enemies, effects and a bunch of other features that mimic Half-Life 2 as closely as possible!
Note
This is the first version of Half-Life 2 Immersion Mod to be released. The reason why it's version "0.7" is because, at the time, I thought of the mod as being roughly 70% completed, which ended up being wrong further down the line as more ideas came up.
Mod features
- All main weapons from Half-Life 2 were ported as closely as possible. These include:
Crowbar, Gravity Gun, USP, .357 Magnum, MP7, Pulse Rifle, SPAS-12, Crossbow, Grenade, RPG.
Also an extra temporary weapon from Counter-Strike: Source - G3SG1 auto-sniper. - Completely new HUD, remade from scratch to look as similar to Half-Life 2 as possible
