Hi, everybody. I recently decided to revise the presentation of Half-Life 2 E3 2004 and I noticed that there are several models in the presentation that differ from the models from the release.For example, the texture of the rollermine is different from the release and Grigory's face also has a cut texture.About the poster, the model of the shotgun and other things that have already noticed I will not say.

The rollermine just seems to have a sprite attached.
Father Grigori looks like retail Father Grigori with the leak's head texture.

Could someone remake these models?

I found this video showing e3 2004 version of half life 2. Interesing is the pulse rifle that shoots energy balls here is the video:

I'm not sure if someone has already sent it
This is my first topic so please understand

and sorry for my english

probably the pulse rifle didn`t have ammo exept for the energy balls, but the hud didn`t had an energy balls counter for the rifle. also the weapon selection order its diferent like: The SMG, Shotgun, Pulse Rifle and crossbow on the same number and the granades and rocketlauncher on the number 4 instead of number 5.

probably the pulse rifle didn`t have ammo exept for the energy balls

Originally, pulse rifle used regular ammo for the energy balls. It had 20 "bullets" in magazine, instead of 30 in retail and alternative fire (energy ball) used all 20 of them at once.

Hello i was wondering if there is playable state of E3 2004 (sorry for my english and this is my first subject pls understand)

[bruno]

From what I know no one has tried to make an E3 2004 recreation so far. Maybe because we don't have the maps, but It's not like they're hard to recreate.  Iv'e heard someone was planing to recreate the maps in the leak engine but nothing came out of it so far.

[franus765]

yeah there are maps from half life 2 retail

[franus765]

now i watched the whole e3 2004 demo and this is just retail version maps

[franus765]

holy shit im so desperate that i want to recreate it lol

[bruno]

holy shit im so desperate that i want to recreate it lol

Well if you know how to do that than go for it. We're open for custom content!
Also a little tip. Don't doublepost like you did here [Quickly posting two or more posts in a row in a short time]. Add what you need to say by editing your previous post]

[Evan]

E3 2004? I'd just recreate the movements and gameplay in retail, nothing really exciting there

[franus765]

then go for it! (if you want)
edit: i dont even know how to do these transitions lol
