Looks okay. Should be a great start for the inevitable mod teams that would have been looking to port HL1 over themselves, and without the legal hassles.

I remember that part from the original game. Probably one of the most terrifying moments in the game--especially since I hate underwater fights, hehe. Looks great in Source, though, even if a little low-poly.

I wonder how they're gonna handle Barney with this. In HL2, Barney is a major character, and only one man, as opposed to representing a clone army of security guards. But obviously, if all the models are brought up to HL2 standards, and Barney is someone you know from the original HL, will just one of the Barneys' in HL:S look like that in HL2, with the rest looking slightly different, or will they all again be clones of the Barney model from HL2?

Gamepro has decided to take EB's e-mail for HL2 pre-order customers and pass it off as news...
http://www.gamepro.com/computer/pc/games/news/37768.shtml

Basically, nobody knew HL2's date and since there's no way it'll hit the estimated date EB is covering their asses and pushing the estimate back to November.

OMG...it's "foreboding"!! Who picks these 'journalists' at GamePro?

I can't see it taking overly too long for a small team to pop the high poly models of the HL1 characters into the new engine, and redo a few textures (water) and what not.
