On the Noclip website, you’re only able to load one of the game’s levels at a time. Jasper decided to cram all of them together though. Here’s their quick video flythough (which deserves for the sound to be on), heading through several sections in the interior of levels before flying up to check out the full game map as it’s connected together.

Jasper explains further down in the replies to their Tweet that they skipped loading two of HL2’s levels that didn’t play particularly nice with the code they’d written to connect each level together. All the rest look pretty neat all lined up though.

You might have expected for HL2’s levels to double back on one another pretty often when all hooked up like this. Since they’re separated into different levels, they don’tneedto be able to share space with one another coherently—and yet they pretty much do!

Jasper often shares neat visual effects tech based on things found while getting various games working for Noclip. They’ve continued sharing some other interesting facts about HL2 as well, includinghow water reflections workand some neatenvironment building tricks.

If you’ve never played around on Noclip, I recommend doing so. You can also fly about in the Portal games andTeam Fortress 2maps if that’s your jam. Or an absolute ton of Nintendo games.
