What is this shit?
Proof that some have far too much time on their hands.
I cant wait any more than you guys can but I agree with the people that aren’t over thinking it. I have the BM dev twitter set up to text me with updates. I’m fairly confident it’ll tell me when the mod is ready…
but… I still think I’ll check anyway on November 18th…
I think it’ll be released on November 19th. Why do I think that? On the main page, they explicitly mentioned that the 11/19 date is “of special importance to us” as it is the day that Half-Life was released. I cannot think of a better release date than 11/19/09.
Anyway, there is a cohesive structure to the levels (it is all one facility). Xen is different, though. It could already be done as far as we know. Or the devs might not have even started on it yet! :fffuuu:
Either way, this is all baseless speculation. It’ll be done when it’s done. Then we’ll see :freeman: in all his bespectacled glory.
I am convinced that at New Year’s Eve, there will be a new trailer online. Showing awesome in game footage of the mod (but not of Xen) and ending with: “Coming to you in 2010”.
And I will laugh my ass off all day long.
Then I will research the location of the nearest lead developer, equip myself with a crowbar and start walking.
Do it Gabe Newell style! Get on that plane and take your crowbar with you!
Please go away.
So are you saying that there is a chance that the mod wont be released this year?
Tbh, wouldn’t surprise me the slightest if this mod took another year to come out.
Me too. But I think I’d appreciate it. Because technically longer developpement = better result*, eh?
does not apply to Duke Nukem: Forever[/SIZE]
Episodic release ftw.
we don’t care if it’s released a year later.at least I don’t. It’s worth the wait no matter what time it takes.
They haven’t told us, but the BM Team has been hired by valve. The Black Mesa game will be released with Episode 3 on November 19th, 2018.
Lies! How do I know this? That’s because if it would’ve been bought by Valve, it wouldn’t come out earlier than 2025. That’s because all their developers will be working hard to release L4D 3,4,5,6 and 7 before the Episode 3.
Take a few years if you need to, I’m fine with it.
(I’ll probably have dial-up for a few years still, so it’ll be less time it’s there and I can’t get it ;D)
may god have mercy on your soul.
amen to that

But in all seriousness, I’m totally OK with waiting. Until December 31st, 2009. After that I will rage, oh yes, I shall rage.
Too bad January 31st is in 2010 :retard: . I predict that even if the mod is already done they’ll release it on January 1, 2010 and everyone will scream because it wasn’t released in 2009.
