Few days ago MilkywayM16, a member of our community, has announced a mod called Coterminus, on which he had secretly worked for 9 years.
As it happens pretty frequently he started working on it just for fun and to learn stuff about Source engine. Little by little he was adding more and more features and as a result he thought it would be great to finish it into more playable state and release it for public. Currently the mod has many ported cut engine features, weapons, enemies. By his own admission he's not much of a mapper, but you can expect some maps in the initial release too. He have reworked Nova Prospekt chapter so it looks more like how it was back in 2003.
Generally, by his own words, he would like for his mod to become some sort of basis for those who want to port HL2 Beta content into retail. People won't need to port cut features, enemies, models and textures anymore, they will just need to get wc-mappack map or whole chapter and bring it into more playable state.
You can read more about this mod on its
official ModDB page.
Also don't forget to track our community for news. As soon as this mod will be released we will gladly add it into our downloads.
