You can use those textures to make DM look awsome too.
It is a massive improvement over the low res valve textures, surely the stock ones were not the best we could get back then?

maybe im missing something but once the OB ports are released we'll have to reinstall everything from scratch...
models...textures.. ..this is basically Fake Factory giving their version of an OB port of HL2 and EP1. nothing to do with VALVe.

and another thing this entails...a real port would mean all new (OB) materials and models will be available as part of the SDK. which those aren't. so adding Fakefactory's materials / models to the current DM would be the same as adding any EP2, Portal or TF2 materials / models to DM.

Everytime Ive used the hi res textures for dm Ive always ended up having to remove them because the game stutters. My system should easily be able to handle them too.

Wow I was impressed with the difference when I saw it on my PDA screen. Seeing it on my 22 inch monitor is like WOW!!

The Alyx in there is ugly as hell. Cant FakeFactory just give Alyx a higher resolution, add a few touchups, and stick with that?

You clearly didn't install the pack. There's 3 Alyx model to choose from. If you want stock alyx with super high res, just install the stock Alyx model from the CM8 and then put high-res stock Alyx made by Fake over the install. Voilá

Damn purrty! I have an ATI X1300 which will probably explode trying to run that!! What to you guys recommend for a good graphics card to handle this? My MB is PCIExpress x16 capable if that helps!
