 Anyway, I'm having a fun time playing it when I have free time, I don't know what there is to complain about! ... Aside from the insane motion sickness I got before I realized to turn off the bobbing in the options. | ||

its so cool to re-visit the half-life universe after such a long time. also, the level design is still awesome even by todays standards. such a claustrophobic feeling crawling around in that huge underground complex | ||

Black Mesa hit the perfect blend of a reimagining and a recreation. A blind emulation of the orginal Half Life with Half Life 2 physics and graphics wouldn't have worked anywhere near as well as the upgraded version they ended up with. Sure, you get the crowbar later on, but that opening section is a lot more intimidating when you have to rely on a couple of flares and a security guard to protect you. It's not often in video games you have to entrust AI to that level, and whether or not you think it makes for poor gameplay, it's at the very least refreshing. Black Mesa feels a million times more alive before the resonance cascade, and the entirety of the facility feels a lot more like a legitimate science facility. Some rooms before, such as an empty space with a wooden table (and no chairs) in the middle are now a fully decorated and functional cafeteria. Little things like that add up to a much better and believable experience. That said, it never loses sight of what made the original so amazing. Black Mesa is nothing short of a triumph. | ||

Look at this Valve and think about hiring all the people for HL³. EA devs should go on a strike and tell their CEOs to allow the community to make mods and maps again. | ||

Part 2 is coming soon. | ||

I am quite close to the end with it (taking my time) and I just cant believe the outstanding work that the modders have done. Best Halflife 2 game by far. All it needs is a bit of bug fixing and the adding of the final level and the game is instantly a masterpiece. Oh and also, they need to fix the jumping asap. Although there is a way of setting the jump height to the old Halflife 1 height. It really is a pain to jump-crouch everywhere. Located at: <Steam installation folder>\steamapps\sourcemods\BMS\cfg\skill.cfg Find and change these to: bms_normal_jump_vertical_speed "200" bms_normal_jump_crouch_vertical_speed "200" | ||

The only thing I can complain about is that the game wasn't as long as the original Valve version but after several hours of great gameplay it's only lonesome cloud in a bright sky. ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ Thank the developers on their site and then realise that this is not the whole game yet. | ||

Actually, even of the levels they published, they removed quite a bit of gameplay. On A Rail is like a 45-50 minute level in the original game, versus about 15 in BM. Just about the same thing is true for Surface Tension. | ||
