Steam Black Mesa Source Release date confirmed

I was stuck at the end of POWER UP... damn, they added an extra puzzle

@Fantus: is 4.75 share ratio any good ? *joking*

 

im loving it so far but im not too impressed with the balancing of the marines, they're way too accurate and dangerous for normal difficulty.

 

I fell off the hanging crates A LOT! But then, valve's character movement has never been great for accurate platforming.

The torrents should be faster now that lots of us are seeding. When I was downloading it was painful for about 2 hours.

 

Finally got a spare few hours to play this

1. Game downloaded and installed - CHECK
2. cans of lager - CHECK
3. Various munchies - CHECK
4. Missus out for a few hours - CHECK
5. Phone set to silent - CHECK
6. Surround sound on and curtains closed - CHECK


I launch the game and damn steam decides it needs to download Source SDK Base 2007...FACEPALM

Another hour before I get to play. FML.

 

just over 1 seeding ratio on my NAS. will continue to seed.

anyone else got the Brownian motion achievement?

 

How long did you have to get stuck somewhere to achieve that?

 

Yeah, I got that one

 

half-life using the source engine? count me in (once i get a pc)

 

enjoying the game so far, but the loading screens are sooo annoying, 3 loading screens before you even get of the train thing at the beginning!

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Just started the game.
First thing I notice, if I jump up on the train, I go backwards relative to the train. Dat crazy physics.

 

Is anyone else having trouble with the flashlight only working on some textures? I'm fumbling round in the dark here!

Loving the new dialogue, but no sign of Barney - I guess his bar tab finally caught up with him...

 

First thing i did lol I played up to seeing some guy on a walk way. And the scientist trying to rescue his friend beibf dragged into a duct.

 

This torrent passed my virus check and seems to work fine: http://www.gameupdates.org/details.php?id=5152

 

I saw Barney during the train ride, banging on the door as normal.

Flashlight has been fine for me, I haven't had any of the performance issues that people have mentioned. Just the slow level loading...

 

When will it be released on steam?

 

I got brownian motion achievement, made me laugh!!

Saw a chuckle brothers mug elsewhere too,

 

Some locations are pretty epic :

 

Gotta say that some bits are ridiculously hard now. The Apaches in particular seem to excel at anti-Freeman duties.

 

I dont remember the turrets being as hard as nails before...

think I missed the shotgun though
