Garry's Mod Update Graphics Comparison

Update Highlights The biggest user-facing change in this update brings most of Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2 Episodic content to Garry's Mod by default, with gracious permission from Valve. This means that you no longer need to own those games and have them installed to play on community maps that expect you to have this content.

A split-screen comparison shows a crude, brightly colored Garry's Mod scene on the left and a more detailed realistic version on the right. The joke highlights the visual improvement from the update, contrasting missing or low-quality game assets with properly installed Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2 content. It is shared as a reaction to a dramatic graphics upgrade or before-and-after transformation.
