Black Mesa Megathread

[Comatose]

I have a few people subscribed on YouTube I watch a few videos of and forget. I know this one guy set out a stuffton of Half-Life videos showing off special coding in the games no one really thinks about but which is interesting. He put out a video yesterday, turns out he submitted a texture for Black Mesa Source in 2006, it won first place in some contest, but it isn't in the actual game. Anyone else want to try contacting the developers of Black Mesa and ask them why it isn't there?

I might contact them on his behalf.

Can't find a way to contact them.

Magnum = OHKO to Soldiers and Vorts :)

The turrets seem stronger or harder to take care of than in Half Life, or maybe i'm exaggerating what's actually going on due to how the screen flashes and stuff while being hit...

The magnum is useful when they are further away but since they mostly rush into close combat where they are seriously overpowered ( especially the grunts with shotguns which always rush towards you until they can blast you in the face ) it's not that useful. The 357 is not that useful against multipile targets aswell.

It's served me well enough

Also, i can combat Headcrabs and Zombies easily with a crowbar, Headcrabs: Have them leap towards you, then dodge and crowbar then while they try to jump again, Zombies: Run straight up to them while holding the fire button and quickly back up, doing this, you will land two hits, one going up to the zombie and one backing away, repeat this twice per zombie

I haven't figured a good way for me to combat other enemies that don't involve the spray and pray method, though now i have a shotgun, that might change

Try to headshot bullsquids with the magnum - if you hit the head they should be instantly killed.
Hound eyes are easier to kill with the Spas 12 than most weapons.

The installer extracts the 7z to install.

This game does a brilliant job for immersion. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that I actually didn't want to go any further because of scaries.

[ChexGuy331]

because of scaries.

WIIIIIIIIIIIIMP

I'm kidding, but the scares are more annoying than anything imo.

[Dezcaban]

Not really jump scares, but the atmosphere is disquieting, unlike in HL1 where watching the dumbass scientists get slaughtered was hilarious

Voice acting is so bad but aside from that its nice. Although Im not a fan of the crowbar and I wish they wouldve just stolen the one from HL2 (Which I havnt played in a while, so they may have actually and I just dont remember it being so bad)
