Black Mesa Half-Life mod launching September 14

@DrKill09 For someone that gave Duke Nukem Forever 8.5, id say you wouldnt know a well constructed FPS if one fell on you.

Half-Life is, and always will be considered one of the greatest 'Story Driven' FPS games ever made. Yes it has its faults (e.g. Load Points), but lets be honest, theres no such thing as a perfect FPS, but i would quite happily say that Half Life is closer to perfection than DNF.and Red Faction.

@DrKill09 Red Faction? Lol I guess everyone has an opinion...doesn't mean they don't stink.

Stop crapping about a game that came out almost 15 years ago.

@DrKill09 Go back to your games with no substance and full of explosions and blood and senseless profanity, and leave the games with the great immersion, storytelling, and gameplay that is TRULY fun to the true gamers. And don't ever play Portal or Portal 2, or it may make your mind explode from its complexity.

For the record, Valve is 500000x times better than EA will EVER be.

@DrKill09 You're an idiot. Nothing to add.

@DrKill09 ........ So this is what Halo and Call of Duty has done to the minds of gamers everywhere. And the whole point of the game's lack of cutscenes is to fully immerse you in the game. It's one of the ONLY games to tell a great, epic, immersive story without EVER making you leave the character or watch a video. And you were supposed to be Freeman. The reason he doesn't speak or react to situations is because you were supposed to react like you think Gordon would. And the intro to the game was awesome, and really gave you insight into the depth of the complex and your job.

And Red Faction, a good game? LOL whatever.

@DrKill09 Well you have my deepest sincere apologies since you weren't around when HL was released and it would seem to you like it was created in the stone age but please take the other guys' advice and stick to CoD and please don't ever bring Red Faction up in a conversation it's a good mediocre forgettable game the only thing good about it was the destructible environments , oh and BTW open question what do you think about the following games: Doom, Quake II, Quake III Arena and Deus Ex?

@DrKill09

I understand your opinon on Half-life and I will not critize you for it. However, my take on the game was it was beautifully done and it was a game that kept me on the edge of seat. The graphics was okay for the game back in the day and Valve tied Half-Life to Half-Life: Blue Shift in which the game was played through the character of a security officer and on that ride in the beginning you saw that character trying to open a door. Half-Life to me was the best game back then and today.

@DrKill09 Get out of here you troll!

@DrKill09

Wow, you kind of completely missed the point of that. I know ADD has hit everyone like a scourge in the last few years and you wish everything to just flash by so you can get to the big explosions and loud noises, but the whole point of that sequence was to give you time to play with the controls, so YOU learn how everything works instead of the game holding your hand through everything like all new games are now. I know, gamers are getting dumber every year, so gamers now probably wouldn't even know how to play these older games. But anyway, when it was made, gamers were smarter, and this worked. Also, the point of them not having cut scenes is that you NEVER leave Gordon Freeman and he never does anything or says anything that you do not control. Meaning, Gordon Freeman is not a character in a game, YOU are Gordon Freeman. So if he has to endure a 10 minute tram ride to get to work, YOU need to endure it. Get it? Probably not, but I've said my piece...

@DrKill09 I kind-of agree with you.

@DrKill09 Have you ever heard of creating a game's atmosphere? The whole point of NOT doing as a 45 second cutscene is to establish this whole world you're going into, the job you're in, etc...and then it ALL goes to hell in a handbasket.

As far as killing a boss by not shooting it? Wow. Just...just wow. Stick to Call of Duty, kid.

@DrKill09 It was a game from 1998, and FPSs hadn't established a proper formula yet.

Give credit where it's due; it's easy to play, yet packs a fair challenge.

Though, one thing I really have to ask is why you even bothered commenting on here about it...that's what the reviews section is for if you wanna vent your anger at this game.

@DrKill09

If you hate it so much why did you read the article.

@DrKill09 you should probably stick to call of duty since more complex games seem a bit to hard for you

@igorphoenix In their forums, where they anouced this, they also said, that Xen will be released later. ;)

@chimpdaddy But there are solid reasons why modding isn`t available for consoles. To open the system for community means giving green light to piracy.

@chimpdaddy It's also comming to Playstation Network, asswipe.

@chimpdaddy Totally agree (though I love consoles, both PS3 and X360, looking forward to next gen), played GoW2 HD remake last week... straightforward port with the same lo-res HUD occupying half of the screen. Black Mesa team done a great job (official HL Source was a huge dissappointment).

damn it edit button, pc modders not pc folders

@darkagent7 omg i've been waiting years for this to come out rofl.

@SirNormanislost I don't even think you need to install HL2. I think any Source engine will work. CS:S? TF2? DoD:S?

@SirNormanislost steam <3
