They one day decide to release it and then the Internet will break.

I hated HL1 but it does look good. I look forward to something original from the team if they do ever work together again.

This almost looks better than HL2.
Can't wait

I really hope this plays well, because so far all I've seen from it is good graphics.

Its a well known fact* that this mod is the entire reason I got into mapping

*amongs myself and few others

While it does look good, I would have preferred they spent their mapping efforts on something new instead of a recreation. I'll probably end up playing it eventually, but I'm in no hurry to run through HL1 again anytime soon. I'll be interesting to see what new twists they've added to the game though.
