My 5 second review:

- Incredibily gorgeous GFX.
- Sound FX are, as always, right on par with the GFX.
- Very very short....played through it in 15 mins.
- Its free =-)
- Ended up turning the HRD completely off for performance gains.
- The water has been reworked and looks fantastic.
- I was expecting it to be longer, despite my expectations of a short level.
- This little level affirms my beleif that Valve makes the most personable, enjoyable levels. The church was just amazing!

Thanks for the freebie valve!

Still at 95%

Graphics looks incredible.

Mega short but it was nice to see something using HDR running very well on my 2 year old 9800. I'm assuming I was looking at the real deal HDR and not some watered down version for my card right? I hope HL2 gets redone with the HDR effect.

That "tone" lighting thing (that adjusts when you go from indoor to outdoor got to me the first time..but I got used to it..very nice effect!).

I'll add my impressions on top of what you've posted.

- Graphics are incredibly gorgeous. I'd say it's regular HL2 plus 30%.
- Sound sounds the same as in HL2 IMO.
- Warcrow thinks it was short? It was longer than I thought it would be. But still, what took a year?
- It wasn't free, only semi-free. We technically paid for it a long god damn time ago .
- HDR looks fantastic, why turn it off?
- Water does look great, better than regular HL2.

And some of my own:

- Lots more action in this little level than I expected.
- The courtyard before the cathedral looked excellent, nice textures for everyone!
- Where the hell is our HL3 and updated CS:S maps?

well, i will finish the rest of that up later - initially i think it is amazing but my system obviously doesn't display it as wonderfully as intended...

let me be the first to say this runs fine on a 9600 pro

Level lasted all of 5 minutes for me, it's VERY short. Looked beautiful though!

Magnum still > *
