Still, this is an amazing overhaul for Half-Life 2 and if you havent tried it yet, wed urge you to. Cinematic 11 Mod is a graphical / music total overhaul, as it looks and sounds very different compared to vanilla HL2 and you can view some comparison shots and videos from this latest version bellow."
