finally for fucks sake i thought they would never do it

OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

The Source engine is now two years older than the original Half-Life was, back when Black Mesa Source was announced :o

who cares? it has decent enough graphics + HL1 is a fucking experience, literally.

Just interesting really. Black Mesa was originally intended as 'HL1 with modern graphics', but now the new engine is older than the old engine was when the new version was announced :o

I agree that Source is good enough. But HL1 was really good in its own right, crummy graphics or not, and without the drawcard of stunning modern graphics, I'm not sure what Black Mesa will bring.

good pointz

Of course it will be worth it:

- It's HL related. Everything HL related is baller.
- It gives the chance to play HL1 all over again, but combined with the experience of playing a completely new game.
- It doesn't how old the new engine is... it looks fucking awesome anyway.
- It's free!
- HL!

about fucking time

after what, 4 years waiting for me, I'm not sure if I'm going to actually download this..

That'll sure show them!

eh, already downloaded the source 2007 sdk

I will fuckin play it

What's this`? The website does not reveal much.

hl1 mod :)

It's HL1 totally remade using the source engine, it's made by fans and it's free (as opposed to HL:Source which only changed some textures and models and shit.)

waited so long for it and they have to release it when im flying out, fuck off

It's not the whole game though. Still sick.

how much of the whole game then ?

I think they cut out the Xen section.

Yeah, looks like it'll be 14/18 chapters, stopping before Xen.

source

xen was utter shit gayliens tripe anyway

true, but even so, none of the tension was lost. Who didn't cream their pants with Gonarch?

They're not including the climax of the game, really??
I think the 'when its done' approach turned into 'when we give up'

valve has nothing to do with this project

no, but the guys doing Black Mesa have long said that this is the model by which they work, too.

ah I see

I hope I'm wrong, but this wont be worth playing.
According to some old posts on the forums there wont be any worthwhile movement physics.

That means no competitive speedrunning, and no skill or fun in online multiplayer.
HL, minus half its tight feel and all its replay value, basically.

Play any of the OrangeBox Engine games, try to strafejump or bunnyhop, or even just aim at something.
That wretched, oversmoothed, unrewarding feel is all you should expect from this garbage.

Maybe it'll be open to modification?
If so, DFCPM is the first necessary addition for this to be even worth a download.

it's a remake of HL1 singleplayer with the source engine. what are you expecting?

what the fuck are you talking about?

hldm had awesome movement, source engine apparently does not.

who gives a fuck? It's single player. You couldn't even jump in doom ffs...

doom had awesome movement too

But is it sure it will be for free?

that's what they've been saying for the last 3 years

Aaaaaand, it's now 20 bucks :( and still no xen

are you sure that not just early access? personally ive no idea

unfortunately yes :/ xen will be added freely if you've already purchased the game.
Disappointing move, this started as a completely free and independently made mod, and as such you wasn't even allowed to criticize their artistics and gameplay modifications choices.

yeah, it is unfortunate :c im more fond of hl1 for the single player aspect, and ill prolly not play blackmasa mp :c

I find hl1 single player to be much better. Enemies' aims are broken aimbots in black mesa, and they even look dumber, ai wise.

hard to compete with the classics =PPP

have a plus for dedication :p

no 9/11 release no win =p

you'll need sdk source 2007 in steam, it's under the tools section in library, it comes free with any of the source engine games


edit: direct download is available from shacknews
how to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT7kfSeNffc&feature=plcp

how is it?

it's really half life, just i don't like the source engine too much

all the amazing small stuff from the original is in, you know .. those moments ;)

Black Mesa streams:

Nicerdicer keeps dying cos he doesn't use alt fire on shotgun and walks past enviro-suit recharges, inferno of holysh1t tv keeps falling down holes and nVc got killed by a fish.


:c

painful to watch a pizdec who can't handle singleplayer game vs bots :c

I'll skip black mesa for now, just played hl1/hl2/ep1/ep2 marathon previous week.

It's on steam now. + deathmatch.

I noticed that, why is it in early access though?

Game is still unfinished (no Xen)

Yeah but I thought they weren't going to make that part anyway.

After playing some early access it's pretty clear why there is no xen yet. They seem to have put some effort in the multiplayer and its maps. The blood and gore is awesome too.

edit:
some TDM



The announcer is way better as the one we had in QL the last few months ;P

That looks really cool. I'll download it just for the mp

Is it standalone?

Doesnt look like it

AWESOME !

The game really needs bunnyhopping. Apparently they're considering adding a cvar for it.

This would have been amazing if it was released 10 years ago. It looks outdated again. So they should make a remake of this remake.

Maybe they'll do. If less people complain and just support awesome development like this.

They've been remodeling lots of guns and props for this release and later ones, but you're right.
