I said that about HL1. 
The Half-Life 3 thread of closure and memorium AKA what Tyler McVicker just said on YouTube

You guys do realize that HL3 doesn't exist, and will never be released, right?
-
-
From all the inspiration I got from Hl2, I think I created Hl3 in my mind already ...
Hmmmmmm

If you do, I can recommend the "Cinematic Mod 12", It's like 11gb, but it's worth it imo.
Just went through the Cinematic Mod site and it looks good. Did you find it affected the tone/mood of the original game much? While an artistic improvement, it's hard not to notice this environment for example looks much less barren and depressing:

Yet stuff like this looks amazing:

I don't like the new Alyx though, the author of the mod even describes the new model as 'slutty' lmao. Good job there's an option to disable those.
As long as it doesn't totally ruin some parts of the game I'll definitely give it a go as it looks like he's mostly done a great job.

I tried cinematic mod once.
Bleh. Play the game without mixed-results intervention.
-
Yeah, play it as intended by the developers.

STOP posting in that thread, it makes me feel like hl3 will really happens :[[[[[

Not sure this screen is an improvement really. I think a lot of the impact of the devastation is sorta lost here. Like how there's barely anything left is way more interesting and memorable. And I don't think you ever view that scene from that angle anyway, you're pretty much always at street level. Also the orange building facades are way more identifiable as City 17, the shot on the right looks like new york crysis 2 on source engine or something. also the prominence of the citadel is kinda lost
-
I really hope we see a true revival of Mapcore with Source 2. I wanna see shit loads of mods coming out, and us to be at the forefront... RALLY UP, TROOPS!
-
If they decide to create a proper pipeline and a proper scripting language, holy fuckballs I will be making nothing but source2 mods for the rest of my leif.

a year ago i replayed HL (i mean it was Black messa, but still)
now i replay HL2 with that cinematic mode, and all episodes, after that i can wait another 10 years lol -
Yeah the more I look at the cinematic mod the more I get pissed off with art direction changes. I really wish there was something I could install that adds some of the awesome lighting and shit without making changes that kind of miss the point of certain scenes. It wouldn't surprise me if he even added loads of water to the dock/coast scenes, not realising they're meant to be so dry because of the Combine.

mods have art direction?

You're right to be pissed off. Valve builds everything with a certain elegance. They don't just clutter shit down and add lots of annoying effects.

I tried playing with the cinematic mod once but the changes that were made altered the tone and vibe too much for me and it just felt out of place.

It's rare like dialogue in a porn movie.
