Back in January 2022, we informed you about a new graphical overhaul mod for Half-Life 2. And today, we are happy to report that Half-Life 2 Overcharged has been released, and is available for download.
Half-Life 2 Overcharged is a mod that aims to fix, improve and enhance numerous features and gameplay elements of Valve’s classic shooter.
The mod features completely reworked gunplay, extended maps, uncut locations and over 50 weapons. Moreover, it has accurate player screen movement, and will allow players to slow-down time.
Players can also expect a tweaked AI combat logic, which will make enemies a bit tougher. Furthermore, the duo has added some new combine units that players will fight. Additionally, there will be a “Fire Mode” feature, and over 300 gameplay options.
It’s also worth noting that Overcharged adds Dynamic Global Illumination. Furthermore, it adds Bokeh Dof, Color Correction Filters, FXAA, SSAO, Sun Rays, Better Projected Texture, and Better Flashlight Shader implementation.
You can download Half-Life 2 Overcharged from here.
Have fun!

I have never seen a mod that makes the graphics of a game look better. They always ruin the style of the graphics.
The reason these people are modders and not developers is because they’re not good enough to be in the gaming industry.
Sounds like a more polished MMod? I really enjoy the small but noticable tweaks from MMod, from being able to take the turrets off and use them as a weapon, to even reload and full magazine attempted reload animations.

Yuk … whats that weird blooming effect?
WTF is that video, that doesn’t represent the mod at all. Remove that.
The screenshots on the mod page look okay. They added a real-time shadowmask but of course that means throwing away all of the indirect lighting because lightmaps contain the shadows in the original game / engine. It’s a questionable “upgrade”. You get much better shadows but much worse lighting. The best of both worlds would be if they could redo the lightmaps to only contain indirect lighting, no shadows. Then it would be an actual upgrade, better in every way.
Where do you download and play the game????
