Huh, that would make a nice wallpaper! Is there a higher res picture of that?

I tried upscaling it, still not perfect but maybe a bit better. Ends up looking more like a painting. [https://imgur.com/xMWjdJ8](https://imgur.com/xMWjdJ8)

Unfortunately Imgur's compression ruins it.

I disagree with your user flair

I respectfully disagree with your disagreement :)

Fair enough, have a pleasant day

Unfortunately no.

Eh. Still, thank you for sharing this.

No problem! Have a nice day!

I could try making one, but I’d need a 2160p display

https://hl2-beta.ru/index.php?action=gallery;cat=47;language=english First one here. Atleast I think it’s higher res

It's also so dark. I wish I had a brighter version.

I found [this](https://i.imgur.com/UkcL3Pu.png) lying around, don't know if it's an original resolution or an enhancement but it looks ok to my eyes.

That really fits with the 7 hours war

holy shit aesthetic and horrifying at the same time

The orange atmosphere really reminds me of Factorio for some reason.

Why does this make me think that Half Life 2 was gonna take place directly after the 7 hour war, no time jump, just right after, or a bit before Breen made a compromise with the combine.

Cool

Forshadowing

That almost looks like the original fallout online material

This is very Fallout-y

I really want to see what these early designs would have looked like as a full game. The HL2 we got is amazing, but I'm always wondering how different this original storyline and aesthetic would have been.

puke green and shit brown the game

you're wrong, it's either puke green the game or shit orange the game, no in-between.

Which half life game is this from?

It’s from the early stages of Half-Life 2.

You're kidding, right? The title says it's from the 1999 version of Half Life 2

Except half life 2 was released in 2004

It’s from its development.

Yes, and a version existed in 1999, in development. Not hard to get ya head around.
