We will add new enemies, ammo, traps, civilians, helpers.There will also be a lot of new objects like Computers, trash, vehicles, etc. The enviroviment (buildings, roads..) will be more detailed. World for gamerGamer will feel gameplay more cool by having much more weapons, supports, people helping him and more enemies to kill. World for player    The normal player doesn’t cares about killing enemies only. We all like to explore 3D world. That’s why we will make the world more detailed and import new scenes, objects and story to it.Thanks to Rebecca I have Half Life 2 game source code, which gives me all the power to work with the game.Thanks to Martin, I have STEAM version of HL2, so now I can legally make mod. Common Questions What is the game? The game is a remake (mod) of Half Life 2 game. The main point it’s HL2 improvement. Why create this game?  We create this game for all players who played HL2 and want to play a better version of it. Its good for all people who didn’t play HL2 yet. What do I control?  The player will fight vs. Combines and military. The main point of this game is that he wont be alone. In the most cases there will be people helping them. Also, there will be much more enemies (game isn’t fun if its easy). How many characters do I control?  Player will have to control dr. Gordon freeman. When Freeman will be with people helping him, he will just say where must they go. They will fight enemies by themselves. What is the main focus?  The story is almost same as in HL2. In 1997 the secret project failed (in Black Mesa underground lab), and creatures overflowed the Earth. After this terrible fail, government sends military to help, but unlucky they kill all (They must kill scientists as Freeman too). In HL2 Freeman kills the government when trying to save Alyx Vance, his friend. What’s different? The main difference between HL2 and HL2 Ultra is not just in the story but in the graphics (better textures, models) and more fun maps.
