Although the Half-Life series has been one of the favorites of gamers for a very long time, Valve, which has never released a third game, left this series in two, and then released Half-Life: Alyx, played with virtual reality glasses. If you liked to explore the world of Half-Life in virtual reality, a mod just for you has emerged.
A new Half-Life 2 mod developed by the Source VR Mod Team has taken its place for free on the Steam workshop. The feature of this mode is that it carries the game from the computer screen to virtual reality glasses.
You’ve never “seen” Half-Life 2 like this
While the new mode is currently in open beta, it makes it possible to experience Half-Life 2’s single-player mode in virtual reality from start to finish. It can be seen that Source VR Mod Team used many features in Half-Life: Alyx to modernize Half-Life 2 and modernized the game. For example, weapons can be changed in the same way as in the game released in 2020.
Other changes that come with virtual reality include the new optional laser sight, over-the-shoulder ammo carrying, hand reloading and dual weapon use. This mode even offers room-sized movement. The developer team, on the other hand, says that the development process has not been completed yet, but this does not reduce the enjoyment of the players. Fashion comments are also very positive.
Like Black Mesa, Half-Life 2: VR Mod has actually been expected for a long time. The project, which was first announced in 2017, was quietly advanced until 2021.
