BLACK MESA: NOT DEAD!

[Siliconmaster]

Hah I didn't mind the over the top 90s voices, kept it entertaining for me.

That was on purpose according to the devs.

[Pooky]

The only complaint I have from a sound standpoint is that the marine voices are completely over the top. Not complaining much though, it helps lighten the mood for me.
But seriously something like 'radio check' really shouldn't sound like a death threat.

I don't know how people can stand the sound of the MP5. It sounds more like white noise than a gun to me.

I never had a problem with the gun sounds, they sounded fine to me. The only issues I had was with some of the marines + aliens accurary like Pooky said, they had awesome level design that was true to Half Life 1 ofc but alot of the enemys became difficult due to accurarcy.

Until I played this, I had forgotten how far we've come since 1998. The gameplay of HL1 just does not stand up.

Glad I'm not the only one who hates it.

It sounds like glass breaking over gunshots.

I also just finished the cliff area with 4 health and nothing but a glock, felt like James Bond

[Pooky]

Maybe you need a decent sound system to really appreciate how bad the gun sounds are. When I fire the SPAS-12, my sub doesn't even twitch. There's something wrong with that.

e: for any one else who hates the weapon sounds, I found a mod here you may be interested in

I was only interested in the firing sounds, so I just separated that part and used it. A huge improvement over the default sounds. I was thinking of doing something like that myself using CS:GO sounds or whatever.

Art and level design blew my mind; this shit rules.

I have had a deep-seated existential fear of deep, murky water and drainage grates in pools since I was a little kid (I saw another kid's foot get stuck in a cracked grate and he nearly drowned); coupled with my fear of monsters that lurk in such places, I was pretty much shitting myself when I fell into the water in the icthyosaur room.

I fucking Jesus'd that shit right over to a barnacle and made a DYNAMIC EXIT via its tongue, escaped the room without the fucker seeing me once. Eat shit, asshole.

pooky: OH BOY MURKY WATER
pooky: CAUSE THAT NEVER CREEPED ME THE FUCK OUT IN THE ORIGINAL GAME

I haven't gotten there yet (just did blast pit), but I get a feeling I'm going to feel the same way.

Oh man the icthyosaurs are awesomely terrifying. Not terribly hard to kill (if you see them before they see you), but still scary as hell.
