Yes, I honestly believe they wouldn't... do you have any IDEA how much work this would be??
1) Source code for HL2 will be COMPLETELY different, so it's almost like starting your coding all over again.
2) New model/map system. You (probably) can't just use your HL1 models/maps in HL2, and if it were possible, it wouldn't look good. So you'd have to remodel and remap everything.
3) Textures/skins. HL2 will support much better graphics, so your current textures and skins will look awful compared to what you could reach. So you'd have to redo this too...
As you can see, it's almost like you're starting all over again. Maybe I haven't mentioned everything yet....
Now I just hope that I didn't just talk a load of bullsh**
