Here's a link for the first 2 and a half hours of the game that I just streamed:

It ends shortly

after the soldiers arrive.
So BMS it is, just like I said.
To answer your question: born '88. Half-Life was one of my first games. I have made the observation that most people (including myself) think/believe/feel the generation of games they played first is the best one to date. For me, that would be Half-Life/System Shock 2/Deus Ex/Quake 3. If you've started playing games before HL1 (and still enjoy games from that era) go HL. Otherwise, go BMS.
I've never played Half-Life and after hearing they've removed some parts from the game I don't think I can play this either. Oh well.
As the features were being revealed my other demands before playing weren't gonna be met anyway:
- Return all original audio
- Remove all third party audio
- Controller support

So much wrong with this post. Just play the original then man, why would you even want to play a remade version if you never played the first one? You have no comparison points, but to each their own. I guess ...

Download it through the torrent with DHT, was the fastest way for me.

Sounds like you wouldn't play it in the first place.
Sorry, I'm really out of the loop. What is DHT? I tried utorrent and I immediately uninstalled it after I got a bunch of malware from it which I have been cleaning out while letting the regular browser download do its thing instead.

I may want to try this, seems amazing.

Erm, where did you get it from, the installer has more stuff but you can unselect it and it doesn't install.
The torrent I mentioned is this one:

Hate torrents so much! I just downloaded Utorrent but no malware here thankfully. I had this at like 35% from shacknews and then it literally said "The download is taking to long" and cancelled out. Gotta love these kind of sites. Make sure on Utorrent you do not select all the crap it comes with.
I waited for Black Mesa.

utorrent is the actual official bittorrent client with the bt client just being a rebranded version. you probably weren't in any danger there.
you probably weren't paying close enough attention if you were thinking it was a close enough remake to be able to "keep" original audio which wouldn't be possible for them either way.
That's what bugs me about it. I used utorrent before one time for an OCremix album and didn't have a single problem. This time I installed (I did indeed deselect all their browser junk) and my firefox crashed, I lost all my saved tabs and such, and I got redirects to some stupid ask.com search page. Luckily, uninstalling everything linking to utorrent solved my issue. Maybe I just got a bad installer? I'll try the beta client this time.
Edit: Nope, it was my fault. I thought "Accept the terms for yadayada" had to be selected to continue. Doh.
lol IT'S SOOOOO BAD
Really loving the rest of the mod, though.
I gave these guys a whole lot of shit in previous threads, but this is good stuff.

That's true. For years I ignored it until that video with awful VO surfaced a few months ago.
It should be in your Steam library.

There should be a new entry in the Library, if it isn't reboot steam. If it doesn't launch, install Source SDK 2007 in the Tools section.
stupid
So this is really good. I ALWAYS BELIEVED!
Restart Steam. It should show up in your game list.

I'm pretty early, but the voice acting is mostly okay. They even have some of their own clever dialogue in there, like the three scientists discussing why one of them wants to re-do an older experiment instead of doing something new. WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE SAY NO MORE
Eli's voice, though... holy crap it's bad. Like, really bad. Like it sounds like some young white guy trying to sound like what he thinks an older black guy would sound like based on this one movie he saw one time.
Is this your first time installing a source mod?

The fuck is wrong with you? A mod of AAA quality and you are going to complain about the voice acting they were able to get with their zero dollar and zero cents budget? And even with having absolutely not a penny to spend on the game they still got voice acting that, so far in my playthrough, is similar or at least very close to the quality of the original game.
If you wanted professional voice actors then why didn't you pitch in 20 or 30 thousand dollars to pay for top notch voice actors?
The scientist standing next to the security desk at the beginning of the game : D There is a button under the security desk you can push that will cause a reaction from the scientist.

uTorrent isn't very good anymore. I use Deluge on the Windows side for my Debian and Ubuntu iso downloads.
The pre-3.x versions are still just fine (obviously you need to steer clear from the bloated later versions). Torrenting it was certainly faster than any site I could find.
Will check that out thank you.
I don't understand this point of view. You'd rather miss out on the game entirely than, at worst, playing it twice over (HL1 + BM)? Cutting your nose, etc, etc.

I suggest going back to uTorrent 2.1 or 2.2 on oldversion, damn fine torrent client before 3.0 caused it to fall from its graces.
Just played the intro. This is really, really, well-made. I especially like the sound design and music. When shit goes down after the resonance cascade you can hear rumblings and stuff with punchy bass. Fucking love it.
People are complaining about the voice-acting? It's the same quality as the original game and it fits right in. Gives the whole game a nostalgic feel.

Well that would be copyright infringement so that won't happen.
- Copyright Infringement
- See the first one, also :lol
- IT ALREADY HAS CONTROLLER SUPPORT
Haven't played it yet so I'm not complaining about anything, but I doubt Valve cares about that stuff much. Think it's more of a choice from the mod team.
