The Consul was so pissed off by the Combine that he created his own Resistance
The Council Of Independence

Huh. Interesting. I still think this looks like something from an early episode of Doctor Who.

I love many of the concept designs. Hope to see them in a DLC one day.

The problem is, half life two and it's episodes have a different feel than half life one and its generation related games. It feels like an entirely different game series, what with there being no Nevada desert, Xen, or Race X.

well, thats the point of making another game) if they'd made all half-life games the same it would've turned into some assasins creedΒ conveyor.

What I mean is, it feels like it went from a nice old timey Quake or Doom type game and suddenly turned into something completely different. It had a 90's feel to it, and now it feels like a 2000's game. It's good, but it's like Jak and Daxter going from a kids game to the gritty rebel game Jak 2, it's like "what the hell just happened!?" as the scout would say.

In another words: game had evolved as it supposed to.

Maybe, but it just seemed kind of "out of character" y'know? I mean, the original version of HL2 was similar to the final version in terms of storyline, it's just that the finished version is less grimdark than the original. HL1 was all about dark corners and alien horror, but the sequel had a more Star Wars rebel alliance fighting the Empire feel than a dystopian feel. You feel me?

I never felt like HL1 was overly dark. It was kind of gloomy, but, probably, because of the artstyle, graphics and monsters designs it always felt more like a weird thing, rather than the horror.Β
And HL2 was not supposed to be exclusively about horror. More like dystopian, which is still true in the final version, just in more "Hollywoodish" way (like bunch of resistance fighters with RPGs and one superhero, successfully defeats interdimensional army of half-machines, which previously subjugated Earth in 7 hours).
On the other hand Gordon was able to defeat the whole invading force of Xen, despite being just a scientist, so maybe it's par for the course in the HL series / universe.

I personally think it is a win win in this I mean if we got the beta then we would be saying "Oh but this would of been so much better then what we got"

...I've got the original, i mean the first script of HL2 (as seen in raising the bar) from one of the employees from Valve, so i could try to create a mod with this story... Maybe...
Anyway. This artwork lands on my desktop as wallpaper.
Great job!

i love this very much. the people should unite, combine their efforts (voice acting, mods,art) and re-create the "old" hl2. but sadly human factor breaks them apart and my only hope is "halflife2

I was a big fan of the old concepts.

I really wish we could have gotten HL2 with more of HL2 Beta's mood.
