Further Data Maps

Black Mesa Archive Suggestion Box
#1

I went back & played Half-life’s demo Half-Life: Uplink not too long ago & as the demo ends the screen fades to black & the words “further data needed” pop up on the screen. Well, I just remembered that valve actually made a free promotional CD called Further Data that contains 5 deathmatch maps not included in the retail version of Half-Life:

  • doublecross
  • rustmill
  • team9
  • thehill
  • xen_dm

I’m just curious to see the opinions of the maps by those who hadn’t played them before & who’d be interested in seeing these maps be remade for Black Mesa.

Why the hell am I only just hearing about this?! I’ll have to download that this evening and check them out.

#3

Interesting, those are deathmatch maps, right?

Think so.

#6

Indeed they are.

#7

Oh ok, in that case who cares :stuck_out_tongue:

#8

DEATHMATCH

Normally I’d be one to agree with you. I’m not a big fan of multiplayer in general, but I figured since this is content released by valve for Half-Life 1, I thought there might be people interested in seeing some of it remade in Black Mesa: Deathmatch.

I also thought that some people here might get to play these maps for their first time & be able to give their opinions of the maps without being completely clouded by nostalgia goggles.

I want to see xen_dm in Black Mesa. I love those Further data maps.

#11

I always though it was strange that HLDM didn’t have a single official Xen map, then when I found out it did I saw these maps weren’t listed on the BMDM Map category of the wiki. Sadly it seems we’re the only ones who want to see xen_dm in Black Mesa.

A shame that this thread got moved to the Half-Life subforum, when I meant for it to go in the Suggestion Box.

#12

Seeing as BMDM development isn’t being focused on for the time being, I’d think you still have some time to suggest these as viable maps.

#13

noone ever atemp to recreate any of theese maps in source engine, this is sad
i searched all the googel and internetz

#14

Most players probably don’t know it exists, sadly. A few of the maps are already in the Steam HL, but I had no idea there was a xen deathmatch map. That sounds cool- it would probably be the only map where low gravity would be the map default.

#15

That’s what I had intended. It was moved here from The Cafeteria. :frowning:
