Halflife2.net Site Layout Update
With the soon to be released Left 4 Dead 2 and upcoming
Episode 3, we at Halflife2.net thought it was about time we had a change. Our pages were beginning to look stagnant and we needed something to give us a little lift. Many thanks go to Yorick who designed this latest layout. I'm sure you will agree it is a lot clearer and is probably our best yet. I've gone through a lot of pages updating their content but there is still a lot to do. Over this weekend you will find a large bulk of new Left 4 Dead 2 and Episode 3 content being added so check back then. One new feature we have added to the site is our mod listing which is integrated into our forums. The idea of this is for mod teams to post their mods to the listing and be able to update their content page and allow the community to give feedback through comments. |

Nice one Yorick, though I actually preferred your earlier design

Nice. I think I'll be using this one over the others. Quick reply box seems to be broken though.
Edit: Actually it's there now. Maybe it was a problem on my end.

I would of thought a darker theme would be the wrong route to take, but its looks a lot better than the old theme. Great job Yorick.

And sorry for being picky, but I notice the new banner seems to be lacking L4D2 artwork, although this may be deliberate? Still, the overall site looks great, and I've been hanging around here on/off for years. It's the best it's looked in ages. Well done guys.

As I said before to Yorick when he first previewed this design to me, I think it looks too much like Steam that it's a bad thing. I liked that HL2.net had grown into its own style/theme with the blue/tan. Throwing that away for a copycat type style that looks much simpler (not in a good way.. just looks like less work was put into it) just seems pointless to me, I don't get why we had to do it.
At the very least, can we get some soft curves on those rounded edges? They're all pixelly. The forum theme also looks pretty bad, the buttons need to match more.
