Anyone here following Nightwatch? It's turning out to be a really impressive mod, and the screenshots at their site are really excellent.
http://hl-nightwatch.net
They just had a gigantic Media Update so there are some nice new level shots, and the weapons are looking nice (m249 and the fire axe/extingusher are my favorites). The music samples they also have available for download are nice. Go check it out if you haven't already.

They're also looking for skinners/animators, sound FX and music artists and voice actors, so if you are talented in one of these fields, give it a look.

I really love the level style.
I hope they don't spoil it with too much action and too realistic or powerful weapons.

I know, the levels are amazing. I like "Overtime" the best. I think it'll have great playability, the people working on it are amazing, and KungFuSquirrel's (former) mod leadership landed him a job at Raven as a level designer. It's had 2.5 years of work put into it, so I think it'll be great fun.

I'm definitely a fan of Nightwatch, although I do not follow it so closely. The atmosphere in their levels is really strong, I'm looking forward to play the final release...

Amazes me just how detailed the architecture is -- apparently it's not even damaging poly counts

The updated limit plus the re-detailing of the original HL textures in some areas are what make them so detailed, and they look top notch.
And i'm with you, MoP, I have their desktop too

/adds to the droolage
Looking nice. I like the "feature" that events you cause in levels may have an effect six or seven levels later, so it might be a better idea to use some extra ammo to save a guard than to let him die...
And that article had screenies not up on the NW site. Mmm....screenies.

Mmm...HL remake with nightwatch textures.
If they don't do it, I will . It's as easy as opening HL.wad and copying over the NW textures, making sure the names are the same as the default ones. Should work.
I say mmm.... too much.

You would need to rename the NW wad file half-life.wad and overwrite the old one wouldnt you?
Anyways I'm gonna do it, even if it means having to spend hours in wally renaming all of the textures
