"Welcome to the Black Mesa Target range, where you will receive training in firing a weapon, reloading and firing the attached grenade launcher…" (Gina hologram)
About time I gave my thoughts on this project.
You guys are doing a fantastic job, and this is probably one of the best looking remakes I’ve seen. Keep up the good fantastic work guys!
Looks great, but it would be epic if you’d add the high railings which the original had.
We experimented with that a bit, actually. Personally I liked it, but team consensus was to get rid of it.
The actual door doesn’t go anywhere of note. The big hole in the wall, however, leads to our firing range.
You know, now that you point them out, I’m really not a fan of the bricks just sticking out of the wall like that. They added catwalks, railings, and that big concrete arch- you’d think the construction team could at least chip off a square hole instead of going home after one swing of a sledgehammer. I realize that my comments on the project thus far have almost universally been to cleanup the more improvised-looking sections of the map, but you’ve got to draw the line somewhere.
I love all those details added to the bridge area (pipes, lights, vents, etc…), they blend in quite well. Also, glad you didn’t keep double fences like in the original, they really looked ugly and way too much.
I can agree with that, at least. The double fences only really made structural sense if there was a low ceiling or heavy support bars for them to be anchored to.
What is this part?
Looks awesome. I totally dig the atmosphere you’ve made there. Top notch work!
What is that part that you showed in the picture?
Give the team a chance to respond.
It’s a transition hallway, nothing special really.
It’s just a transition hallway that happens to look really really nice.*
[sub]* I didn’t make this one, so I’m allowed to compliment it.[/sub][/size]
It looks good indeed.
It’s the transition hallway immediately before the Fall Damage Room. I felt that the original transition room from Half-Life was a bit underwhelming, so I spruced it up a bit:
Sure, just let them piece the entire Course together.
With the exception of a select few critical rooms, I’m pretty sure they already can.
This is what happens when you give in every time someone says “MOAR MEDIAZ PLZ”
Where is Xen? Xen confirmed?
Son, you best be joking.
