I think the idea is cool, but you can only do "Half-Life 1/2 but X" so many times before it gets old. I'd take a custom campaign any day of the week. Granted I know the idea is that its like HL1 but like completely different/HD/new/etc. but Black Mesa did the idea better like what? 5 years ago now? Longer if we count the mod version.

I think the idea is "Half Life 1 as I remember it being 25 years ago" but as I said, it just does not work. Granted HL1 levels are a bit sparse with the limitations at the time, but Extended feels more like Abiotic Factor.

I don't get why people hate On A Rail so much.

the maze, resource processing does something similar but it's less roundabouty(?)

Residue Processing is one of the worst chapters in the entire saga and I'm tired of pretending its not.

 

[Pumpkin_Spice_Bastard]

Residue Processing is fine

Is Black Mesa Blue Shift ever going to be finished? They're like 95 % done.

Could you survive Black Mesa? I could, I would simply avoid all the monsters and calmly exit the facility.

Just follow the evacuation plan, the red emergency lights, and the fire exists. It's literally a skill issue. Almost all workplace accidents are self inflicted.

that would be an excellent plan if black mesa actually had that stuff

I would simply sue them until they complied with OSHA. Safety is everyones responsibility.

which leads you right into the military's hands where they will promptly dome you, because no way in hell they aren't guarding all the remaining entrances that haven't been destroyed, by their hands or the xenians.

Also, even IF you escape you better bet the glowies are coming once you leave. So you'd better apply for asylum in a neighboring country. I imagine that's why Eli and Kleiner are in Europe before HL2.

As a well respected scientist and highly educated man, I would simply flee to Eastern Europe, get a cushy job, ride out the combine occupation as a collaborator, and then apologise to Freeman with a firm handshake. All will be forgiven, it's that easy.

How awful, such jaded people. No wonder Black Mesa has been going downhill recently with those attitudes.

The military clean up is just a paranoid rumor...right?
