First of all happy New Year I hope it's started well.

If you haven’t already seen Halflife2.net has had a bit of a face lift and we’ve added some new content. You may remember our famous ‘Valve only’ thread in our forum. We’ve burrowed in there and organized all the information as well as added further new stuff. You can find this in the new ‘Valve Speaks’ series in our articles section.

We’ve also got a load of concept art and community submitted art on the site which is worth checking out.
