A completely free and extensive community-developed update for Half-Life 2 featuring beautiful lighting, countless bug fixes, and a brand new Community Commentary Mode. With Half-Life 2: Update, there’s never been a better time to revisit City 17.
Runs well on modern hardware.

Great fixes for a great game. Worth replaying.
most things are fine but there are sudden fps drops in some places and the waters bottom in the coastal chapters are missing textures
Very fun remastered version of HL2. One thing I didn't fully like in the original Half-Life 2 was that the crowbar could just... One shot anything. Basic Zombies and Pistol Combine, sure, but Poison Zombies and Hunters? So while the nerf may seem a bit steep, taking 4 or 5 hits for a basic Zombie, and around 3 for some Combine troops, I think it was a nice change. Plus all the other small changes, the new graphics, really nice.
