It’s not even hammer’s fault… Source engine has a lower entity limit than hammer’s default BSP compiler anyway and Black Mesa or any game really would cause the engine to explode if it had no load screens.
That and the fact that Black Mesa probably crosses over itself several times according to Ram. That would be annoying to make into a single map. 
I would release it right now, except it’d be horribly buggy, models would be unfinished, animations would be poor, and the mapping quality would be the equivalent to the work of a 4 year old slamming his mouse button on the new brush button repeatedly.
Except when it loads up it will give you an error message saying black mesa is too awesome for your computer, and it will overclock your CPU and video card so much that it bypasses the internal safeties and causes them to explode, so no one would ever get to experience it.
If I was in charge of BM: S development I would tell the coders to get off the fat asses and finish the goddamn thing already!
You’re gonna make a lot of friends here.
I don’t even know what to say to this, I haven’t exactly been around these forums very long but I can’t believe how many people can’t understand the many reasons this mod is delayed.
But to stay on topic one major thing I would change in HL would be to create the early development concept of gaining vorts as allies and leading them to a rebellion.
Lens flares.
Lots and lots of lens flares.
:facepalm:
do you have any idea how hard the devs have been working in their spare time for six years of their lives so that they can create a masterpiece for your entertainment, for free?
whatever happened to being grateful for projects like this?
I always tell people like doggie015: “You want it fast or you want it good?”
eww.
eww.
if i was in charge of black mesa i would prob make wild and exessively ambitious claims. but i couldnt really do that stuff and i would be too embarrased to come clean after talking that way for so long so i would probably just like keep claiming to be working on it and assuring people it would be out ‘when its done!!’ even tho i hadnt made anything real new to show in years. probably thats what i’d do, but that’s just me 
Amirite?
there is already a thread or two with 100+ posts about this

I love lens flares!
I would replace every texture with porn.
now thatsa plan. would make the continual concrete passageways slightly less boring.
Adding lens flare would mean that you are seeing everything through a LENS and not Gordon’s eyes. You have lens flare in sports games and racing games for a reason: because sports are viewed through cameras. First Person Shooters are seen through a human’s eyes, so there should be no flare!
Those threads all turned into joke threads after approximately 1 post! My thread iz bettur.
I would do everything exactly the same as the black mesa devs, except I would add hallways and buildings and stuff so that you wouldn’t be overlapping everything everywhere.
Basically it would be a 500 hours + game just running through hallways. Oh, also I would run the community forums like a tyrant, and round newfags up into concentration forums and give every regular mini hammers to keep them in line.
This thread is still totally serious!
Glasses, man!
Yes, Gordon’s glasses are just such crap quality that all the lights become flared. :retard:

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
