Black Mesa Source

Well yeah ok he doesn't jump as high but crouch jumping is crouch jumping. It's the same principle and it certainly doesn't warrant the massive amount of pi55ing and moaning. Literally half this thread is people moaning about it!
Because it's actually pretty annoying that something so obvious slipped past, it's something they could change really easily so they must've made it different on purpose.

I have literally no idea what "They're rigid/easier in a way that they totally weren't in HL1 yet are dodgy in a completely different way" means in relation to the ladders. They seem exactly the same to me. They were pretty rubbish in the original game.

Go back and play HL1 and you'll see. In Black Mesa you can't go left/right off them, trust me it's just entirely different. The fact that you don't remember this tells me a lot about your HL1 knowledge ;)

I still haven't given this a download, yet I was so excited for it not that long ago :P! The size of this thread and general consensus seems to be that it's worthwhile. Will download tonight when I get home from work.

Yes its worth having a look, I am starting to remember a lot of HL1 again playing this... Blast pit more so then anything as that was one heck of a level back in the day lol

Its still not as good a Half Life 2 for me sorry guys someone had to day it. Half Life 2 was IMO the best fps I have ever played. Ravenholm, still one of the best locations in a game ever, how a game went into a whole other direction, HL2 managed it, city 17 was pretty awesome as well..

Nah, Half Life - Half Life 2, both great games lol Come on Gabe, give the Black Mesa team HL3 to finish off for you (or even start ..!! )
 
No it's not as good as Half Life 2. Half Life was a game that redefined a genre, it's influence cannot be underestimated, but Half Life 2 raised the bar, it had 6 years of technological advances to build with and the overall experience is just better imo.
 
I get stutter and generally poor (high 20s low 30s) fps in some stages like with smoke/fog effects. Not sure why as my machine runs all other source games pretty well maxed out. :(

Well, I Also tried HL2 which is Smooth so I suppose it's down to a bit of GFX company optimising, which does not happen to private mods !
I think most of the time my 680 was at desktop clocks/volts :D ..although I think the old CPU was getting a work out (judging by a few fans ramping up)
more likely poor multi core support with the physics causing the stutter then ?

Don't agree, Half life came from nowhere and was original in so many ways. sure HL2 amazed us all with physics, all just great engaging games...I see why they take so long to make.

Always smile about people interpreting HL story lines :D, I don't think any have a story as such !
 
Loving it so far, been waiting so long for this and it certainly lives up to the hype. Up to "Power Up" at the moment, brilliant re-make. Finding it a little bit easy if anything though, anyone else feel the same? I played the original a lot mind so that's probably got something to do with it. The bits they have changed are a welcome suprise, caught me out a few times :)
 
Actually I thought the machine gun was better than I expected, especially at range. Was it like that in HL1? The bullet spread is pretty minimal.

LOL, I just played some original HL2 and HL2 Source, I found out the player is always set to RUN ! (helps with run jump) talking machine gun I think the original was more powerful, In blackmesa I used the 9mm more to take out the soldiers also HL1 had an element of autoaim with the weapons. I found it took about a full clip to drop soldiers vs 1 .357 or 3/4 9mm

Also of note the ladders had more of an auto lock in the original game....not a problem except in the blast pit with the 3 headed pecker ;) where you did not need to be hanging around navigating ladders :D

There is a massive backstory to half-life 1 - I'm quite dissapointed its not developed better in the game as it has some really nice twists and some quite deep philosophical stuff (things are actually different to what it seems in the game).

The Cyclops Flamer looks epic.

You don't have it on easy do you? :p Its the default setting in the options. Around that chapter I dropped down while wielding my SMG... I got raped so hard by a swarm of dogs that my quickload felt it. They came out of nowhere and surrounded me ><

I've had a similar type encounter with the dogs though with me I thought they were dead until I got up close & five of the blighters stood up an blasted me now every time I see one lying on the floor I pump a couple of shots in to it just in case.
Loving this as much as I did the first time around.
