Sounds like a great team death match idea, except I think that it would be to much to add a mini game to hack the system.
Also scientists should start off with a crowbar and have to pick up other weapons, meaning that for that period the security guards have to protect them 
Yeah, that was a wishful thinking part of it, given that I have no clue how difficult it would be to implement.
I was thinking the Sci’s should have the minimal ability to protect themselves (though maintaining the ability to heal self/each other with syringes), as the main function of the Security Guards is to protect the Sci’s, but that was my thinking were it possible to implement an interesting gameplay mechanic for the Sci’s to use Retinal Scanners or Terminals.
Generally the idea is to have the Scientist team feel virtually helpless.
Black Mesa RP lol you must be a retard to think thats epic
Black Mesa in Garry’s Mod.
Now, THAT’S an idea! Think of the possibilities of vortigaunts fighting Striders and gargantuans!
Strider vs Garg would be cool, but there’s not much competition. The Strider would win.
It’s not going to be GCF’d unless it gets on Steam. I think what they mean by this is that it won’t be open source.
I was kind of picturing the scientist defense mode as similar to the assassination/VIP map(s) for CS, where the VIP/scientists have a knife and a pistol/crowbar and a pistol, so they can still kill people and it isn’t completely boring for them.
I know that the soundtrack will be available separately (or so rumor has it).
Last time I heard about it they said they we’re gonna release it 2 weeks or so before the official release.
yer i think i herd that too but im pretty shure it was Ram who said it tho so cnt reali know if he trying to skrew with your head lols
I think I busted a vein after reading that.
I’ll have TWO heart attacks that day; one because I’m certain the music will be awesome, and other because it will mean the mod’s release will be coming soon. I can’t wait!
Ditto on both counts.
Even without a .gcf file, it isn’t hard to get any of the content. I’m not saying I would do it other than to make a map, but I wouldn’t see why the Devs would want to keep the possibilities of Black Mesa limited. Even if they did, if you are going to install the game on your hard drive, you have everything you need to make a mod. If you don’t think you can, wait for some people to create extractors or a user-made SDK, like the one that some people made for Left 4 Dead. Plus, the sounds and models would be the easiest thing in the world to get, all you need to do is look in the directory where it’s installed and look for the right folders. Even if they’re in .pak’s or any other type of file like that, there’s so many extractors out there. Anyway, to the one dude who signed up just to say that I was retarded for saying Black Mesa RP, if you like to RP on Garrysmod, and you love Half-Life, how sweet would it be to combine the two with high-res models and Source maps? Anyway, to the people who were talking about Gargs versing Striders, this is possible in Garrysmod as it is. A scripter made a Half-Life mod for garrysmod, which includes most weapons from Half-Life, and almost every NPC from half-life, as well as some NPC’s from Opposing Force and Blue Shift. Just look up Half-Life Renaissance on garrysmod.com (No, no Resonance, Renaissance, they aren’t talking about the Resonance Cascade). The pack uses the high-detail models.
They also added a gamemode right in with it, which lets you play the entire Half-Life Campaign, if you have Half-Life Source, and I think you need Half-Life Source to run the addon. The campaign is glitchy, but fun to play with other people, and just playing on Sandbox on the maps and making random stuff happen is fun. The campaign is a bit glitchy in parts, and the creator didn’t add turrets to the addon, so no Military turrets, also, some things are a bit glitchy, like scientists in certain places being colored all black, or invisible lifts, just take out your toolgun and remove any coloring from these things and it’ll be fine.
OH GOD YES!!! :jizz:
That’s what I meant. It’s easier to get the files when they’re not GCF’d.
But even then, it’s a IP violation to use BM models without permission.
True but that hasn’t stopped people before.
Why Make Synergy Compatible With Black Mesa When The Mod Already Has Co Op.
If you read the entire thread, or just kept up with the mod, it’s been stated a handfull of times that a Co-op version of Black Mesa is not for sure; the Developers want to get the actual game done in time for the 2009 release, and IF they have the time to add in Co-op, they will, if not, that’s why I put the Synergy suggestion in here.
Also, take Ram’s advice, use proper grammar and don’t attempt to type correctly, because you’re doing it wrong.
Spread the Coop around people! 
Hey, I heard you like mods so I modded your mod so you can play a mod while you play a mod.
I lol’d IRL at the truthnes of that statement
