Source: Half-Life: Nightwatch
Half-Life: Nightwatch has just released the second half of its two-part media update. The update includes a large number of new screenshots, many of which are from areas never before seen, a render of the new model for the Alien Slave, as well as concept art of the Particle Pulse Rifle and demonstration shots of the particle engine. Additionally, a story update and new development diary will be posted later on during the day.The response to the available team positions has been exceptional so far, and the mod has received a large number of applications for several of the positions. Nightwatch is still looking for skin artists, model animators, music artists, texture artists and voice actors, so people interested in helping out in any of these areas should check out the Nightwatch jobs page.

I’m Majestic XII and I’m the site director of the site www.hl2modcentral.com .HL2MC is the former .Dev site hosted on Halflife2.net but we now changed name and host.HL2MC is a resource site for HL2 modding. The site works like a huge wiki, members can add articles, tutorials, mods, links and so on to the site. The point of the site is to create a place where you can go to when you got problems and also somewhere you can go to if you want to share your knowledge and thoughts. We already got several articles and tutorials (video tutorials too) on the site and most mods are registered on the site.We hope this site will bring the modding community together and help them on the way to create better mods for our pleasure (and for HL2’s future).

We've gotta stop releasing media in tidal waves, but as usual it just builds up and before you know it it's out of control. :P Anyway, here's a showcase of what the team has been working on.First up, the skinned Mills Bomb by Trigger. Approximately 70 million of these babies were used by the Allies during the course of the war.Also Mortars skinned Mauser G98. Usually considered slightly inferior to it's Commonwealth counter-part - the SMLE MKIII - it was still a very dependable gun.
We then have two vehicle map models, the British MKIV for HL and the German A7V for HL2. Whether or not the A7V will be drivable is still being debated but it's still a while down the track. =)
And here's a few skinned map models by Mortar that have been slapped together to make a second dugout scene.
In other news, our beta testers are gearing up for internal beta testing which is to commence soon. Also, in an effort to let people let us know what they think without signing up to the forums, the News and Announcements forum is now enabled to accept guest posts. So tell us what you love (or hate, but constructively only please.) If this is abused then we will not hesitate to disable it and you'll have ruined it for everyone! Don't forget we have a channel on GameSurge (#somme)too! If you don't know how to use IRC and want to get to know the team a little, then just head to http://www.sommevalley.com/irc.shtml. Cya at the front!
