"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill
  
Oldschool Replacements

I'm planning to recreate the weapons from Half-Life 1 and its HD pack for the Source engine. The aim of this project is to bring back a piece of the original feeling of the Half-Life series.

Planned replacements:

Hey, these replacements are great, very welcome additions to HL2.

I cant reiterate how good it is to see the original MP5/M203 from the original looking so sexy.

I was thinking about the M4. If i remember rightly it was described in the Blue Shift Manual, or somewhere else at least, that it was a Commando M773. or close enough. It didnt have a detachable handle and the Upper Receiver looked pretty close to a M16A2.

Having a look now in ModelViewer, both vees, pees, and wees confirm it. Its basically got an old school pre-RIS handguard, but the bottom half has been taken off.

like so, minus the GL sights.

I supposed the anims would have to be literally - clip in, clip out, to adhere to the timing of the IRifles auto reload arm thing.

Im pretty sure one of the CAR-15 or M16A2 Models would be ideal for hacking. You could even use modified anims for the G3A3 IRifle replacement.

Im sure you've thought of all this though, just throwing it out there.

One other thing, would you be looking into converting these over for Black Mesa Source when it *finally* gets finished?

cheers

This sounds great, I've always loved old-school style replacements.

Looks interesting. What will be for RPG?

I don't think that I'll replace every weapon, in the case of the RPG there's the problem that there is no custom RPG model out there. Still, I am thinking about the idea of hacking on a display etc. to make it look more like HL1.

Well, you can see it in the project info.
While the MK2 was featured in the default Hl1 as well as in the HD version, the MP5 was only in the retail version and replaced with a M4 afterwards. As I think that it's unrealistic to shoot 9mm bullets with a M4, I chose to remake the MP5 instead of the M4.
For the pistol slot, I chose the Beretta from the HD version as there are already two Glock replacements out there.
