Coterminus Creates A Great Blend Of Retail & Cut Half-Life 2 Content 

Great choice for a name, because "coterminus" literally means coexisting.

this mod is a 10/10, just because it adds back the moving clouds. (still dark and yogurt.)

It's nice that the author decided to release two action-centric chapters as a preview of what's to come, no offense to the other beta mods out there, but having something substantial and fun to play is refreshing to see compared to the more set-piece stuff we've seen in the past

it’s like retail hl2 in an alternate universe, looks awesome

I love this mod a lot, it feels like the HL2 that's advertised on the back of the game box. The skyboxes are really nice to look at. Love the dried up oceans.

Great video my dude! That said, I'm a bit disappointed you didn't mention how the e3 demonstrations were seamlessly blended into the levels. When I got to the coast gunship area, I immediately recognized the train bridge and the green warehouses and it was the greatest 'OH SHIT' moment I had in this mod, absolutely awesome.

the view of the wasteland is both beautiful and haunting, the combine have scarred the earth but its not completely destroyed

I really had fun with this one, though I ended the last segment of the road section by hopping sort of out of bounds with the Tau Cannon.

I absolutely love this mod, I would like it more with the red arms but that’s optional cause of mods, OH and you can also take the Tau Cannon off the car, and you can basically do the whole H17 chapter without the car cause it makes B-hopping a hell of a lot easier with its boost abilities. Great Video, happy you covered the mod!

5:25 E3 Hatchbacks my beloved... ❤

Coterminus was an excellent experience for me, and I think one of the best bits of it is how well it can be used as a base thanks to all of the enemies and weapons that are in it. At least 3 separate people have asked me if they could port my Vertigo mod onto it so far.

11:16 DAMN that part of the map is beautiful, reminds me of the hospitals in return to ravenholm

Sceneries in this mod are amazing. Especially the ones on the bridge and near the zombie town.

That mario sound effect got a chuckle out of me.

10/10 would love to see it become a full game

Gives me the vibe that some of the older Combine units are still around waiting to be destroyed in battle as the newer units from the newer citadels gradually replace them.

"why did nobody think of this" > combine oppressors in half life alyx:

Yes, finally! I was waiting for this video for a long time and it didn't disappoint! Like the mod itself, it was great! Loved the mix of retail and beta, especially all the weapons (just had to use impulse 101 to try them all). That wasteland view was breathtaking, and Antlion caves entrance gave me shivers too. Also, Combine guard at the end was a great surprise.

Might actualy try this mod, it sounds and looks interesting

song at beginning unexplained hazards

8:00 There is actually a fully modeled and animated model of the Antlion King in the Half Life 2 Beta Minimalist Mod, it's the only mod I've seen which actually shows the Antlion King, and it's just as impressive as was promised.

took them 15 years, but those shielded soldiers finally appeared in a HL game after all :D (HL:Alyx)

I hope Milky Way sees this video

The vastness of the Wasteland reminds me of God of War for some reason

damnnn, this mod looks awesome, the wasteland is by far my favorite thing about the beta and this seems to pull it off perfectly

when i heard that sound in that cave i was really scared then disappointed that it was over

I love dry sea bed near nova propect seeing the submarine left abandoned by the military. Snd seeing a beach town surrounded by no water its ships also abandoned. The combine train moving to the prison in the distance. I want thus in half life 2.

Great video, loved what you had to say. Surreal has put in a lot of hard work, and I am happy to be apart of the team. For those that want to hop in and play, I have a dedicated server up and running with 4 bots. There is also a new map with Beta 2 that was not listed in this video that is running as well. Enjoy!

Fantastic video! I think this is one of my favorite reviews so far and I'm super glad you like the mod :)

Found this mod from this video and I loved it. So cool seeing the cut content be readded in a polished and logical way. It really gives a good look at how the game could have been if the beta content wasn't scrapped. Another cool detail that you missed is on the prison, if you look at the security cams you can see the beta stalker enemy (the one that shoots lasers) on one and a group of the big camouflage combine dudes moving down a hallway in another. Sucks they weren't in the levels themselves but I loved see the small little details they added to make the the cut content all fit well together. Super excited to see the mod as it develops.

this mod is pretty fun ngl, i looks amazing as well, i love a lot of stuff from the beta but i also enjoy most of the base-game story/maps, so seeing the two of them expertly weaved together with the weaponry, maps, and enemies and they just all fit together like beautiful little lego bricks, and it's just amazing, i'm so impressed with the mod author, props to the author, just wow

I've been subscribed to the coterminus channel for a while and looking at all the stuff they have put together. It's really interesting.

This mod is something I never knew I wanted. I wonder how City 17 and Ravenholm are going to look like. I'm definitely keeping my eye on this one.

this mod adds rats, 10/10

0:13 i cant describe your music, its so relaxing, cool and catchy. I swear even tho im too young i'd drive in a highway with cloudy weather and this song playing in the background!

i need to play the hl2 beta mods and coterminus looks very very good also great video!

This video makes me want to try this mod, since its looks fun because it has beta style

For a lot of the video, I just thought that the mod was neat, but nothing too special, then 7:00 happened and I was blown away, it’s such a large change and interesting atmosphere, I’m probably gonna download this mod later

I'm happy to see that you're still making content. Keep up the great work !

10:30 I can’t blame him tho

I really hope this is finished, it looks great

Combine assassin: Makes Rad kinda sus Shield Combine: Great at knock knock jokes Combine Guard: BIG MAC STRIDER GUN WELDING BIG BOI!

Daaayum bro how did I miss this???!

5:21 “I like the car segment better in Half-“

coterminus is what i imagane HL2 if it was released a year earlier.

7:09 That looks exactly like the Half Life 2 concept arts depicted The Wasteland, though it seemed to be more orange originally. But that submarine and the Combine Depot are a dead giveaway, as well as those mounds of rock everywhere, really feels like that used to be the sea floor once upon a time.

10:52 "why did nobody think of this!?" Half-life Alyx did have those

The coastline looks fucking sick, I always wanted to see more of the wasteland... I imagine most of the world in the story is a wasteland

good video radiation hazard!

"this shit bussin bussin" -2003 combine soldier, 2022, Thumbnail. joke aside, what if someone made an mmod on this?

5:25 best death message

The rolling sand storm looks so cool on the coast part WOW

I love 1 man teams that are able to put so much work into their mods. It's better that way, it's their vision through and through

never knew a mod like this existed somehow,i will certainly check it out latee,great video btw 😎

if you look and zoom out at 7:15 you can see a train and 2 dropship going by in the distant

this is what i belive half life 2 would have genuinely looked like given the 2003 world

I want to explore the town in the distance surrounded by an empty sea bed and the beaches submarine and ships.

I made the zombies in my Half-Life: Source overpowered

Just imagine, when this mod will full released, my god, I cannot wait. Thanks for showing this mod. 😁👍

This mod make my leg fall off

I don't have any unique words for beta stuff anymore. So let me just say, good as always!

Great video, I'm gonna give this mod a try now

8:13 Oh, I SO hope we get to fight the Antlion King.

Will definetly try this mod out :v

and there it is, just in time for my lunch

Milky Way took what was already my favorite Valve game and is making it even better!

This mod looks amazing, i especially love the choice to use specular based lighting from older builds of source rather than the phong based lighting of newer branches, it just really adds to the tone imo

awesome content radhaz keep it up.

i have phobia of water creatures in half life and also im scared of some cut enemies because they looking scary and animated very unnerving.

Is anyone going to mention about the "thick mommy combine assassin" or it's just me

I Prefer Beta Atmosphere Than Retail But This Blend Looks Good

*This* is the kind of HL2Beta mod I was waiting for!

looks super ive always wanted a hl2 beta mod with the antlion king as a boss cant wait for it to be realeased

I don't know why, but no mods seem to replicate the water frothing effect that Dear Esther does. It looks REALLY good, and if you're going for that, you should try to get something along those lines.

Wow they made it *_dark and griddy_* again

I think the community forgets a lot of things weren't cut for time or budget, they were cut because they were terrible ideas.

Dark and griddy

I'm thoroughly impressed by the show of constraint used by the developer. I've always been frustrated by how gimmicky or flashy a lot of these HL2 mods can get so to see someone use a more grounded and gradual approach to their mod is a huge change of pace. 10/10, would play.

The start of video is good and the video

Wait, you said you liked Nova Prospekt? ~Also that open wastelands really gives the Borderlands vibes...

Hope its going to be on steam.

Damn, must have been some work to make such big maps work well in default source engine

Try reviewing a Half-Life 2 mod called 'Mistake Of Pythagoras'.

11:30 although this video was really entertaining, I am a bit disappointed that you didn't use the Strider gun to take down an enemy just for the fun of it, I am curious how it behaves in Gordon's hands. This mod looks gorgeous!

Half Life 2 except Gordon has been in the stasis.. for too long.

I like your video

damn, this looks great. i love release hl2 but beta hl2 was super interesting looking

Radiation Hazard, what would happen if I turned the valve in your eye?

interesting. I also noticed that the mod restored muzzleflash illumination. It used to be there in old videos, but then in the vanilla only prop objects get illuminated, while environment doesn't it irks me to no end. I gotta check this mod out

I like the design of the Combine Heavy Guard- you can see that it used to be a human at some point, all under the cybernetics. He doesn't even use his original human head to see, it's hidden under the collar of the suit and the guarrd uses the artificial head to see. I wonder if he was supposed to have a crit hit point inside the collar not on the artificial head

the ending of the new highway sucks because it ends right as it get interesting. I think "neat, we progress down out of the old human world to something new below, where the new wildlife lives, I cannot wait to see what's n..." and it ends. Ther other one is mostly a lesser sidegrade

10:30 Rad is down bad

10:30 dang 💀

holy shit combine using shields. how hard would that be to implement? (asking for a friend xd)

This looks fantastic!

You should look into Lost Industry 2 it has the most interesting visuals ive ever seen in a HL2 mod

Damn, antlion king? Even in gmod an NPC exist for that thing, idk how he Will create the AI but One sure thing Is that im soooo Happy to know about this antlion king level

“Wait this isn’t Chucky e Cheese…”

A boss battle with a creature like the ant lion king should not end in the king dying, if they want to keep that spooky dangerous vibe they should make you 'just get out' type. But I'm not the one making the mod I guess

A merger of beta and release content? Reminds me of the RMA Atmospheric Addon mod (and it's own mod, Shadows Addon) for Shadow of Chernobyl, which does pretty much the same thing (integrating beta story beats, levels, and quests into the vanilla storyline) and is similarly based off of later beta stuff than most mods focus on
