    I don't know why exactly, but the instructions state that to use the FakeFactory HD addon, you need a 64-bit OS or it'll stutter.

    I reckon it's because you need to have ma-hooosive amounts of RAM.

    What does the base update? I'm just making sure i've not missed any thing, i've got hdr (bloom etc) some (but not many) updated textures and a new music overture. All the models are the same is that right?

    I'm still waiting on the 9.5 and the HD to download.

    Played the first ten minutes of HL2 (up to entering the block of flats). Seems okay, but I haven't played it for ages so can't really notice any appreciable difference tbh.

    It's not, 'woah, it looks like a new game'.

    Click the pics for bigger screens, then hover cursor over image and select full size in top left corner of image.

    It takes forever to download the files but once installed the end result is great. I can't wait for the final week before HL2EP3 is released so that I can go back and play all the episodes again and this pack has really enhanced it.
