Black Mesa Half-Life mod launching September 14

@Unetteh @Taix34 thank you...and there we go I have, Fortunately, been proven wrong :D

@Taix34 @3v1LR0n1N

Actually, read here: http://wiki.blackmesasource.com/System_Requirements

It says you only need the Source SDK 2007. (Which comes with TF2)

@Taix34 cross your fingers then and hope im wrong

@3v1LR0n1N *SadFace* i do have tf2.. i hope it works..oh well...

@Taix34 @JLCrogue you have to have a source engine game to play that too if I'm not mistaken (I apologize if i am)...soooo no

@xeno1ith @RemHitara_basic I liked Xen as well, but there wasn't much flow or direction to the level design like there was in the other levels. It was kinda just "OK, NEW WORLD, NOW YOU CAN GUESS WHAT TO DO"On top of that, the combat arenas Xen offered were very weak compared to the rest of HL, and made the combat against the good AI rather uninteresting. It was a great concept, just rushed in its execution.That's one of the reason BM's devs are releasing this way. Xen is being changed to make better use of possible gameplay mechanics, as well as to be more "fun", and it's being expanded to be it's own mini game, big enough to be something like HL2:Episode 1 except for BM.

@RemHitara_basic

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on Xen world then.

And, to the contrary, just because someone didn't like something in the game doesn't mean it should not have been included. Given the enormous popularity of HL, it must not have deterred that much from the game.

@xeno1ith Just because someone doesn't have a problem with it doesn't mean that it should be there in the first place. It was mostly platforming in a confusing environment that was like nowhere else in the game.

@spOOoOOn @Elite_Bushido @3v1LR0n1N @d_khan

Exactly, you can't say the game didn't age well when current AAA games can't even match HL2's facial expressions. For the most part, this applies to it's physics engine as well.

@Elite_Bushido @3v1LR0n1N @d_khan Didn't age well... Are you kidding? The original lasted me a decade of replays, multiplayer is still alive today. HL2's source engine is also pushing a decade and still has one of the most advanced facial expressions out there. If there's one thing you can say about the Half-Life series which is absolutely ridiculous it's saying the games don't age well...

@Elite_Bushido

You do realize that there is a lot more to the quality of a game than just models and textures, right?

@Elite_Bushido

You're kidding me right? The game was so well made, it is easily better an more fun than most games that have come out in the past 10 years. Sure the graphics aren't up to par, but the gameplay surpasses most!

@GinsuVictim Well yeah, isn't that true for everyone? xD It still is important though. I only started to enjoy XEN when I actually comprehended why I was there. It would be really hard to remake that part though due to the weird gravity and whatnot.
