To reflect some of the weapon changes with the high definition models, new sounds were given to the shotgun and assault rifle, as well as new sprites for the game's HUD. The Glock 17 was replaced by a Beretta 92FS, the Colt Python by a Colt Anaconda, and the MP5 submachine gun by a Colt Model 727 assault rifle. This included some notable changes to the game's original arsenal. In addition, all of the weapon models were upgraded as well. The upgraded character models in the High Definition Pack included the scientists, security guards, and HECU soldiers, as well as several of the Xen creatures. Subsequently, while the models are improved in terms of the level of detail, it remains a matter of opinion as to whether they look better. However, despite the increased level of detail, the style of some of the models, most noticeably the HECU soldiers, has been changed. But then again, we might get a little too used to these textures, and virtual reality might prove insufficient.The improvements coming from the High Definition Pack mainly stem from the increased polygon count over the default Half-Life models.
If you're looking to play the first game but you find the original textures displeasing to your used-to-4K eyes, this pack might bridge the gap until Alyx comes out. And the fact that Black Mesa was a thing only goes to show how much fans needed something like the original Half Life while Valve wasn't delivering. Half-Life: Gold was a popular one that scratched the itch for most players, and a very recent one is called the ESRGAN HD Texture Pack from January this year. Half-Life: ReSrced is not the first HD texture pack for the game to hit the market.

However, Leaufai says although he could theoretically do it, he couldn't do the expansions so he felt it "wasn't a good starting point." However, the idea is not completely scrapped: "If popular enough maybe," is the final consensus.
After promoting the new mod on Reddit, one user asked whether Leaufai would be porting the textures to Half-Life: Source to benefit from the improvements in lightning.
