I hope you are excited for this update as much as I am releasing it! There's plenty to talk about!


First of all, I would like to thank all the people who helped make this mod even better than I ever imagined it would be, because it IS much better. When I started working on this back in 2018, I had much ambitions and hope for it, but I did not expect it would grow this much since then. Initially meant to be a simple mappack, it now has everything I could hope a serious mod would have, very amazing music and voice acting, cinematic scenes, suprising gameplay elements and more!

Remember, that this is not the final version and still much can be done to make this mod better. But this update cements something that I wanted for a long time. Proper scenes with proper dialogues and better looking maps. People complained that my maps are not on professional level for a long while, and I understood it completely. Make no mistake, they are nowhere near as perfect as they could be, but when I started working on this, I was learning mapping from the get-go. So you may notice that they are still looking amateur in many spots, in true, but for now at least I can show off with beautiful outdoor expansions:

MAP EXPANSIONS AND REMASTERS

This map for example, it looked like this years ago and it was one of the better ones then!:

And this is the current one with updated graphics for 2024 version:

The biggest flaw of the mod was obviously interiors and rooms being too big and just simple cubes. From update to update I improved them as much as I could. And so I did the same with 2024 version, here is an example of one of the rooms from chapter 2:

And this is exactly the same location but back from 2019 version:

So the complaints were totally reasonable and much work had to be made on improving them further. Chapter 7 is still incomplete and can't be fully finished and the mod ends in the cliffhanger again but I was wondering what would make more sense, complete chapter 7 and focus on this, or put all the effort to make the already long modification look as best as it could. I chose the second option and I don't regret this. Now with these improvements I can freely complete chapter 7 and 8 for the future update and I have plenty of ideas but I don't want to spoil anything. So enjoy the mod at it's current state and I hope you will have fun playing it!


NEW SOUNDTRACK

Composed by JDCreative(Sinon Sniper) here is an example of his amazing work:

SCRIPTED DIALOGUES AND SCENES

This update introduces fully captioned scenes. Skylord_noltok provided voice acting on a very professional level. In english for now, translations will be added later on. New soundtrack, new voice actor and choreographed sequences for Marines are a game changer for these scenes.

I hope you will provide feedback on what's good and what's not so much. I will listen to any suggestions and definitely take them into consideration to impove the quality of the mod.


Thank you for reading!

Black Mesa is a masterpiece. The first half of the game was and has always been good enough, but the re-enactment of the Xen levels - the third much lower than the third of the original game - has turned it into a fantastic, bizarre second half. , terrifying and deeply entertaining for this game. You can find some Black Mesa cheat codes at cheatdland.net

I agree what a pleasure to play. I keep going back to Blue Shift. Perfection. Especially Buying my 1st copy of Half Life in 1999

I posted my comment on the 2012 version of this mod. But since this section seems more relevant, I'll post this here:

Man! Xen was worth the wait! Also, thanks for the christmas present for releasing it as well!

Now that the Black Mesa saga is done, I can't wait for the other teams to finish the expansion remakes, although that'll be a decade off...

So what plans are you guys going to do afterwards?
