Black Mesa Releasing Sept. 14th

I finally got it downloaded and ran it. It works, you need Steam and Source SDK installed as a prerequisite, and there is achievements too. Its late here so I'm going to try it out again later but I can confirm it works.

12 minutes to go for me!
 
They should have put it on moddb as the downloads are extremely fast. Aside from the Shacknews link I can't seem to find any. I would have assumed there would have been more than the 3 links they provided on their website.

Shacknews is slow; 700KB-1MB/S but at least it is downloading.
 
god bless these guys...

I'm almost shed a tear during the trainride in.

For those that care there are built in achievements, one of them had me cracking up earlier...
 
jesus, the menu scene is making my 570 here at work cry for some reason :confused: i can't wait to get home.
 
Just played up to unforeseen conciseness. So far, hats off to these guys... everything feels fantastic. Looks better than expected. The sound really stands out, music, voice acting, its all great. Gunna go throw some screens up in the high resolution screen thread, then back to playing!
 
My understanding is that this isn't the entire game recreated right? How far up does it go exactly?

Good to hear. I guess I know what I'll be doing until 2 AM.
 
Is there any controller support for this? I would like to play it with my wireless xbox 360 controller.

Worth playing then? Yes? How big's the size?

Absolutely yes. Thus far, they did an astounding job. Some of the voices are oddly bad (while others are really good), but thats about my only complaint. I'm having a ton of fun.

It's a 3GB download, and roughly 8GB installed.
 
Shit! Just checked out screenshots in other thread and this looks great. Can't wait to try it. I gotta wait until Sunday to try it!

Anyone think the guys over at Valve are playing this right now? I wonder if Gabe is playing it as we speak. Wonder what the Valve team think.

I think Valve should do something special for the team who made this. From the looks of it, the mod team did a fantastic job.

I'm sure some Valve employees will be playing it today.

As for something Valve should do: They've already Greenlit the game for a real Steam release, free for now of course.

Basically what I have to do. I constantly try to keep in shape since all I do is sit and program 8-10 hours a day.
 
Anyone care to chime in a little more with a little in-depth perspective? I am sitting at work waiting until Sunday to play this thing and would love to hear some commentary about game-play, comparisons with original Half-Life, etc...

You're at work until Sunday? Do you guard something? :cool:
 
2 more hours til I free from work.

Debating sacrificing my entire Friday night for this mod. I never thought this day would come.
 
So far it is nice aside from three things:

1) The soldiers spin around far too quickly and move too quickly. It looks very unnatural. They can find/aim/shoot far quicker than you.

2) The soldier's voice acting is very cheesy.

3) The MP5 is a bit too inaccurate IMO. There is also no feeling to it unlike the other weapons.

Otherwise it is very good.
