Black Mesa Source

Anyone going to AAD at Waterkloof next weekend who is willing to bring the files on a disk or 2 for me? I'll give a nice photo of the Gripen and Hawk...
 
Really impressed by the work the guys put into this project a must have for the old school and nostalgic gamers alike loving it
 
I'm about 2 hours in and this is by far the best mod I've ever played. They captured the spirit Half Life so well! :D
 
Played almost the whole Saturday, almost finished the game. Must be honest, I barely remember the ending levels/chapters. But the nostalgia value is over 9000 :D Games lack this kind of depth these days, and length... HL1 was a really long game, with a perfect balance between puzzles, army dudes, and aliens!

That ^^ is why I believe they left out the Xen levels. It was messy and disjointed and didn't tell the story very well. I had to go read on the internet what I had just done.. Hopefully Black Mesa can eventually "fix" it.

I played a bit yesterday as well, and the "feel" of it is perfect. All the nostalgia centres in my brain lit up.. :D Then my housemate came and asked me what I was playing, and remarked that he never played Half-life, so all the happy drained out of me. I'll have to try again some time.
 
As brilliant as the mod is there is just one issue I have with it so far. Crouch jumping; way too much crouch jumping ...

Yurp. In the blast pit, just before you get to that tentacle thing where you have to run over pipes that have a river of toxic gunk underneath, died so many times because I forgot to crouch jump. It just feels like they bumped up the gravity setting on the source engine.

I may be going to the Airshow - a bit undecided so will have to see.
 
Aaww yeah! Just finished downloading :) was quite fast... missed the rush of release day. Will be playing it tonight. Can't wait!
 
I am quite impressed! It feels like half life. The music, the ambient sounds, the voice acting (even though I think there are only 3 voice actors), etc. Quite good!

I haven't finished it yet, GW2 is taking up all my time. It's supposed to be until just before you go to Xen, which they are still working on; quite substantial if you ask me.
 
my game just takes forever to start everytime i launch it, i dont know if its a steam problem or what but any other source games I have usually launch immediately.

currently playing it on a Phenom II X4 945 with 4 gigs of Ram
 
Awsome game really enjoying it the face critters are just as annoying as i remember and loving every face hugging moment of terror! Never been this glad to see a crowbar in my life!
