Those Look like Very High-Res Models

[rataj]

The fourth photo looks like Arcade, but the one in Dark Interval looks much better!
In addition, the weapons look too plastic. Map design is still interesting but nothing special.

i love that HEV suit it's one of the best HEV models i have seen so far...

I know, the title says REDUX
but neahhh the new Combine is not my favorite^^
But after seeing his redesign, I'm looking forward to their version of the Alyx 2002 concept

Yeah, and headcrabs too.

I call it more like a Cinematic stylish Version of the BETA Concept 
But hey people today need fresh new things to come back to the Retro times^^

ohh Looking Very Good

the maps are looking cool..and really hl2 [ because of the pipes and others always used models like barrels.. [ that why i love so much the hl2 underground or the citadels...:] the "consul head" is not very well working.. i would try some woman head .. for the second model , i do not want to hurt but find it more quake5 ready than hl2 ...[ or "fifth element" with heavy weaponry ] [ the third image  https://www.sbs.com.au/movies/article/2019/04/29/why-fifth-element-improves-more-you-watch-it  ]
in my opinion the only models that can be added to those of hl2 are all those made for wolfenstein 2009 .. like combines some are human and others aliens..
here are few link from gmod workshop..

do you find the consul has not a bit the same "style" ? with a "light gas-mask" may be he can render perfect..in the middle of these...[ there are a lot of others in the game ]

the population of the city of wolfenstein also has some interesting models .. they look less " resistance" than all from hl2 and episode ..

As much as I love this I just don't support the Combine Guards detail. It honestly just looks like it needs to be redone (Not to say its bad or anything) I just think the new model needs some work. Everything else is fantastic.

these models are nice..if i can say so..the "thing" is they are made for a very old games... so like the head of the citadel 's master that was made more than 15 years ago ..and the shiny new body.. with smooth angles.. "that does not mix well "
if he was able to use the same tools as those used for others models of hl2.. then both models would look differents..and  in line with older models..[ they can be "sold on steam workshop" ]
at latest news of black mesa : they exactly did the same mistake , as did the maker of cinematic mod ..
https://store.steampowered.com/app/362890/Black_Mesa/

they work on small details..while they should try or help to create contents... 

with "these paid games" reusing parts in others mods like in " azure sheep source " is not as easy as it was with opposing force or hl contents twenty years ago ... beside that black mesa is also sold by "steam" by those who made it during 15 years for free with forum friends .. now they have closed forum and pockets full of money...  plus a lot of models and ideas grabbed in their deleted forum..  exactly the same  way of stealing as at : scex=coop m8dbB
