Leet Rebake – EP1 Remaster
It’s like Half Life 2 Episode One OCD edition with primary focus on getting the best out of prebaked lighting
Anniversary update was awesome, but ep1 was overlooked and maybe even got worse. Here all campaign maps are recompiled in order to perfect visual fidelity, fix artifacts, inconsistencies and bugs while staying true to the original artistic vision.
This is the continuation of HL2 mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3437059847
