wow this is just mind boggling and to think they did it with a $500 budget.

Very nice!

Awesome stuff. I didn't even play HL and I still think it looks awesome.

Man I love the eye of Sauron in the background and the way this underscores the original HL2 plot. Hopefully they can work in some more references to the happenings in the original game.

I hope Valve takes this and makes it into a separate game like Blue Shift and Opposing Force.

Hahahaha this looks so much better than some big budget movies, amazing. With a bigger budget + decent script and good actors they could do incredible things.

Pretty good effort though.
Furthermore, tournaments should use matchup-specific maps

effects were so amazing damn. Although I wonder if the gun shots would sound bad if the HL2 sound effects were so fucking imprinted into my brain.

Yah, the $500 budget isn't that impressive, i mean if you were to factor in the programs and equipment needed, not things that they already had lying around because they were a production company. Now I guess if they rented the equipment cheap I guess that's cool, but again if you were to shoot that in a city and make money off of it, you'd probably need a license or permission or what not from the city me thinks.

I was severely disappointed when I reached the credits of Half-Life 2 and the 'story' I was waiting for the whole time never actually happened. These guys should have directed Half-Life 2 ;p
The dangers of poor typing skills can be evinced by the dire parable about the hungry boy who accidentally ate a luscious red Yamato, and promptly died.

That was really cool. I'm interested. If they make anything else let me know

Wonder what software they used...but from the quality of it that must have cost more than a couple thousand, not 500. Still just as amazing of course, but not because of the budget...

The acting could be improved, but overall it was really impressive. They've captured to mood of the game, which is something that rarely happens in movies that are based on games.

so it's not impressive they can do better with scrap (and let's say it was 5k, or 500 big deal); than some movies that have millions put into them with teams. =/
What's impressive is their designing capabilities- amplified by how little they apparently spent.
