[Bluemercury]

[I H8 Memes]

Thread title should be "They're waiting for you Gordon. Innn the test chamberrrr."

 

[Isaccard]

I'll wait till it's officially on Steam.

 

[Hatten]

check the post above you, also now the torrent is kicking into high gear! nice almost 1 mbit.

Can't believe I didn't see that, thanks

 

[Ciastek3214]

I'm liking the new stuff on intro section, the fact that they have like 3 voice actors for scientists makes it hilarious.

 

[blackMamba1187]

dont you have to run it from steam?

I have it in the steamapps\sourcemods... folder and it shows up in my steam game's list. It won't launch, though. Currently redownloading from the torrent.

[Chris R]

.exe? But how will I run this in OSX then?

 

[Red Blaster]

The intro reminded me that Gordon already having earned a Ph.D at age 27 is pretty impressive

 

[The M.O.B]

First chapter complete.

Amazing remake, that have done Half-Life justice thus far.

Voice overs are excellent, people judging it before it came out are looking real dumb.

Worth the Wait.................5 Stars...............2 Thumbs up......................time for the next chapter.

 

[Dictator93]

Ehm... no offence, but did you expect a mod team to rewrite all the grapics programming int he game to the GL compliant source engine? Kinda of a lot to ask for...

 

[Deadstar]

Torrent is working for me. Can't connect to either.

 

[atomsk]

oh good, it's been a while since all my steam game categories reset =/

 

[Fuct]

anybody else see this in the ShackNews zip file?

(the folder is empty though)

lol. Anyhow, just checksum the files to make sure it's the real deal.

f1d86575816f4c6994a5657eebf76409 *BlackMesa.7z
502b417a7857c3ffb82a8b2c93ee1ecf *BlackMesa-Setup.exe

I can confirm that the DHT enabled torrrent posted earlier (props to the OP) has the same content as the original torrent.

 

[Liseda]

Uh, it launched perfectly fine the first time but when I wanted to change my launch options it just stopped launching after it

 

[Jackpot]

The intro reminded me that Gordon already having earned a Ph.D at age 27 is pretty impressive

At a US institution maybe. In UK if he went straight from under-grad to post-grad he would finish at age 24. 25 if a Masters was mandated.

 

[Adamm]

After sitting at around 100kb/sec for about an hour my torrent has finally decided to do something.

3.5mb/sec!

Hurry up!

 

[Hatten]

.exe? But how will I run this in OSX then?

Boot to windows?

Either that or put together a team to port it to SourceGL

 

[Blizzard]

Me three. I'm sure I'll play it, but my Steam library is precious, don't want games in there I don't like

Uh? It's not even on Steam, no? And even if it was it's a free mod so couldn't you just delete it?

 

[fokkusu]

Custom grid image?

 

[justjim89]

The shacknews mirror is taking forever, and the official torrent page won't come up for me. Damn it, I just want to play this.

Check the OP.

 

[I H8 Memes]

So I need to extract all of this to Steamapps > source mods? Just throw a big jumble of files and folders in there? Why isn't there a single root folder for all of this to go into?

 

[Horns]

Wish I could remote into my home PC so it will be ready when I get home.

 

[DinnerRevealer]

I'm glad they released this even if it's not "finished," since Xen is my stopping point every time I replay HL1

 

[IdreamofHIME]

So I dont need the original or anything to play this?

I'm very interested, I've only played Half Life on the PS2

 

[bee]

no? there's an installer, well there is with the torrent in the OP anyway

this is a looong install

I wouldn't go so far as to say the voice overs are "excellent" but they are definitely around the quality of "Fan Mod". It sounds like a lot of people trying to have fun while doing voices. Wooden at some points, over dramatic or monotone in others. Considering voice work was never really the high point of HL1, It doesn't bother me a bit.

Just made it to "Office Complex", and I can't believe how much I'm enjoying this. I haven't played the original HL in probably around 5 or so years, but I did play Blue Shift around 5 months ago. So far, it's really captured that Half-Life feel and is making me remember how much I loved the original. That music when I got the HEV suit for the first time was great (

Spoiler

as was pushing the alarm button at the first security desk

). It's pretty funny when I get to a puzzle or something and think "Man, I remember getting stuck here before.... crap...", and then find the answer after exploring a bit. Now it's time to go through the section I remember making me hate headcrabs the most. Oh Office Complex, at least you let me electrocute them.

Oh, also, if you never played these games before, get ready for some jumping puzzles. I just died 4 times on one because I was trying to rush it. Thank god for QS / QL.

 

[YianGaruga]

Already had a game breaking bug in the first 10 minutes. Fell out of the first elevator, didn't get the loading screen, unable to proceed (even with noclip), had to start over. Also, some NPC just disappeared in front of my eyes.

 

[Divius]

:3

 

[fokkusu]

Uploading 1MB/s

 

[Clevinger]

Played a little bit. Really well done so far.

 

[Odrion]

Valve should've picked this up.

 

[EvilDick34]

thanks, gonna wait then

Um, they don't even have a release date for it to be put on steam, you might be waiting a while.

 

[I H8 Memes]

no? there's an installer, well there is with the torrent in the OP anyway

I have the torrent from the OP. There is no exe.

NVM. I dont know how or why, but it was in my recycle bin.

 

[pakkit]

it's gonna be released on steam

[ramine]

Just started, looks great so far!

 

[solarus]

Everyone who was shitting on this game in the gameplay clip thread before is gonna eat crow, this seems amazing so far.

 

[Raitosaito]

All the previous gaf hate for this mod I hope is gone.

 

[EvilDick34]

After playing this for a good hour, i can safely say that they mod team did justice to Half Life so far!! The game is really stable for me and it is giving me chills with the music and the atmosphere after the cascade resonance.


I'm waiting for the haters that continually bashed this mod over the years to start posting.

EDIT: I really liked the houndeye sound effects, pretty neat.
