[QUOTE=Tuskin;49358956]Looks like Black Mesa too me :/ probably a side effect of recreating games set in the same environment.[/QUOTE] Seeing as how it's set in Black Mesa I should damn well hope it looks like Black Mesa.

[QUOTE=Trekintosh;49358964]Seeing as how it's set in Black Mesa I should damn well hope it looks like Black Mesa.[/QUOTE] I meant it looks like BMS

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49358968]I meant it looks like BMS[/QUOTE] Is that a bad thing?

So I found my new favorite Half-Life mods [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/hl-residual-point[/url] [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/hl-residual-life[/url] Nice gameplay, adds tougher variations of enemies, and even some new ones

Not directly related to Half Life but more so one of its designers; Viktor Antonov. His work is incredible, wish I could see more of his stuff. I mean, just looking at this trailer, you can tell that Viktor worked on this. The train in one of the scenes even looks like the Razor train from HL2!

How long has it been since the release of first part of BM btw?

Three years for the free mod version.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;49360751]Three years for the free mod version.[/QUOTE] Good fucking god, time flies by.

It feels like yesterday when we even joked about they still alive and if it was ever going to be released their assets at least. I still waiting for them to release the mod code.

I've finally been playing Half-Life for a while now, and I've noticed some hilarious bugs and stuff. You remember this little thing here? [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/579074999605902750/9EF902ABFBE26B5BF220E2EB0BDBF8031A138724/[/t] Well turns out it broke once for me, when I was using it to get back, it suddenly jolted backward, then onwards, then backwards (all of those mid-way, didn't happen during either stops) and then it gibbed me. It was so absurd I couldn't help but laugh at it. Next up is this pretty sight. [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/579074999605910735/B3DAD21B8BE256E366047310BAE7A1ADA54BEDB0/[/t] Either these are doorframes into Narnia or there was some hiccups with the decals. And then there's this little fella. [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/579074999605915369/36AA841093ABD0CBB5F5D2621656AF36C8B6B733/[/t] It was literally bulletproof, emptied too many pistol shots on it before I approached it, ducked under its leap and whacked it. Guess industrial-grade crowbar does it better than 9mm rounds. And for grande finale we have this showoff. [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/579074999605921381/A965DBE2715FC20025D3E950D9DA17D715079D63/[/t] I guess he tried his hardest to look as mysterious as G-man, but all the electrical sparks around him just made him look even more ridiculous. [editline]things and stuff[/editline] Did someone replace part of the code on my game with lsd, because fucking hell, this tripmine is literally tripping. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/579074999606037653/9BAF97DA365076C4963CE38D5C08D54FFD06A6C5/[/T] I tested it and no, it didn't trigger from standing on the reflected laser. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/579074999606133936/71A49918E596E32667C3212ED93FA96C373EEBC4/[/T] Well that was anti-climatic, don't you agree dead HECU corps- [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/579074999606134576/DE3AFD2526C5CB8FCD09CF8AB7F1C733AFF0D718/[/T] Oh. It went through the wall. And there's even more silly shit, remember the two HECU marines that chatter about having their comrades killed by a man in orange? Well, me being a gentleman in orange power armor with a PhD in theoretical physics, listened to their chatter, all the way to the last bit where one of them says [I]"He will pay. He will definitely pay."[/I] I tried to correct the man's claim with a healthy dose of SMG nade, but something funny happened. I miss (no, not the part where you're suppose to laugh yet) the shot, and the two start running, for one of the marines to suddenly stop after one-two meters [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/579074999606127643/0289F4EB49A98AE31418DA2CC91ED006A3E33D6A/[/T] and his friend [U]runs past me[/U] into the hallway where I came from. I wait for a few seconds, but neither seem to start shooting me, and in my medical opinion I degreed his friend with a bad case of tunnel vision. [T]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/579074999606128238/FA1F0FB22E29B4C0F3C3209FD0F6B693A261C90A/[/T] The only prescription was a good old-fashioned crowbar-to-the-face treatment. Unfortunately, mister berethead got a bad case of bullets afterwards.

[QUOTE=megafat;49361277]I still remember the "Release 2009" trailer.[/QUOTE] I remember an ad for some school textbook about computers, it was like "You kid is playing computer games too much? Well hurrdurr buy him a textbook and make his time with the computers useful". The thing is, when it showed a kid playing his computer, scenes from that trailer were used. I was so fucking jelaous of that kid, he was playing Black Mesa back in 2010.

[t]https://i.imgur.com/M8Ny724.jpg[/t] The new Black Mesa shotgun model is a joke, right?

If they were going for the original shotgun look, they shouldve just done a 1:1 remake, not whatever this is.

Looks like something out of CoD: Black Ops 3. Or rather liked Juniez's remake and took a shot at it themselves. [editline]22nd December 2015[/editline] I still can't get over the hands being reskinned hl2 ones, looks so incredibly lazy.

[QUOTE=Lamarr;49368056] [editline]22nd December 2015[/editline] I still can't get over the hands being reskinned hl2 ones, looks so incredibly lazy.[/QUOTE] There's an addon for that, though it just broke so you might as well wait till it's patched.

[QUOTE=Zelpa;49366705][t]https://i.imgur.com/M8Ny724.jpg[/t] The new Black Mesa shotgun model is a joke, right?[/QUOTE] I heard someone once make a joke that you can recognize a gun model being made by an American person by the fact there's railing on the gun pretty much everywhere you can see. :v: Holy shit, that's hideous.

This is the only place I've seen that has disliked the shotgun. It's a gorgeous model IMO

[QUOTE=Killer monkey;49369165]This is the only place I've seen that has disliked the shotgun. It's a gorgeous model IMO[/QUOTE] It's looks well made but it's an eyesore of the worst level. This is what a proper re-make of that shotgun should look like [T]http://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/96/95390/hecu-shotgun.png[/T]

I like it :/

I think it'd look okay if they removed that fucking railing.

Maybe it will look better when it is complete.

I don't see a problem with it. Lose the rail and it would be fit nicely.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49369314]That one looks too Cartoonish IMO, doesn't fit the Art style of BM. Maybe it will look better when it is complete.[/QUOTE] It will never be complete sadly, the guy quit when they released retail cause he didn't want to re-rig everything from scratch

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49369314]That one looks too Cartoonish IMO, doesn't fit the Art style of BM.

I'd prefer they just go for an actual SPAS-12 look. [img]http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/749/1337230-spas_12_10.jpg[/img] Both of the above models look pretty bad imo for what it's trying to replicate.

[QUOTE=Zelpa;49366705][t]https://i.imgur.com/M8Ny724.jpg[/t] The new Black Mesa shotgun model is a joke, right?[/QUOTE] I don't have a problem with the model as I have with the viewmodel origin (holding it way too far wide)
