Things you DON'T want to see in BM.

[JeffMOD]

I don’t want to see Motars. I want airstrikes like in HL instead.

what don’t I want to see in Black Mesa? You guys. Enjoy your vapourware.

I actually think the mortar explosion would be best as a tall burst of smoke and debris, with blast fx at the base. Something like Company of Heroes’ effects:

That’s kindof a good idea

[bigfan421]

what I don’t want to see in black mesa is a scientist (apart from Gordon of course) firing a weapon outside of deathmatch.
I mean they could use the brickbat system from HL2 (remember the guy who helps you out shortly before you encounter the first manhacks in Half-life2?he grabs a pipe) to grab lab equipment and melee with it, but firing a gun would be pretty strange to see.

@Raminator

Sounds like you’ll enjoy our version of We’ve Got Hostiles, then.

More on topic; what don’t I want to see in Black Mesa? You guys. Enjoy your vapourware.

:awesome:

[Slyr]

being pwned by Raminator.

i can just imagine some original Xen creature like a cross between a bullsquid and a massive freak’n goat called “The Raminator.” it’s impossible to kill. it sneaks up from behind, jabs its freakishly large horns up your ass and hurls you into a wall. Then it humps your ragdoll’d corpse repeatedly until you reload or start the chapter over. THEN when you reload the game, it follows you out back out of Xen into earlier chapters making the game impossible to finish.

…i don’t want to see that in Black Mesa.

EDiT :

@HotChiliPepper

Name: Raminator
Description: It kills anything, anywhere, anyhow.
Model: Raminator doesn’t need a model. Raminator is invisible.
Weapons: Raminator doesn’t need any weapons. He kills with his bare hands and PINGAS.[/SIZE]
Health: Raminator doesn’t need health.
Frequency of appearence: Raminator will be placed at every slot avaible on every map, from start to finish. There will be other thousands of raminators outside the map, to prevent noclip. Additionally, God mode will be called Ram mode. To finish, God mode will no longer be avaible.
Atacks: Everytime a raminator spots you, he’ll pull down his pants and rape you to death, with a 10000 health loss per strike.
Secondary attack: If you dodge a raminator in his primary attack, raminator will eat soap, the he’ll make bubbles with his mouth.

Due to my magnificent originality and great ortogrofi, you shall laugh of my post.

…or that.

The “Surgical Room” in questionable ethics. That room didn’t make any sense at all. I at least hope it was replaced with something that made sense.

[Ballsopt]

The devs said that they gave the whole chapter a design overhaul to make more sense/look cooler.

which of course also applies to the rest of the game.

[Tmaned]

You guys act like the scientists would all be pansies who’ve never fired a gun. Of course, it’s not to say that most of them wouldn’t be like that, but there’s got to be at least a few scientists with an itchy trigger finger and the balls to go with it.

[Ballsopt]

wat.

edit: nvm, i totally misread that. unless you ninja edited it.

[Torpede]

I don’t want to see unoptimized levels. If the levels lag for me, and I have a good computer, I’m killing someone. The level design looks superb, but I’m already skeptical about how well it was optimized.

[baconeggs]

Ram’s already said that they’ve broken some hard coded engine limits to get this mod working. Have fun!

[baconeggs]

@Raminator

That’s not what he’s talking about though.

Well no but it implies that the game will be resource heavy.

[UrBY]

I’ve spent the last twelve hours trying to drop the load times and increase the framerate in the first map of Office Complex, and already had to delete more than 150 physics props just to get the map to compile.

150? Are you serious? How many did you leave in?

[dky.tehkingd.u]

@Raminator

That’s not what he’s talking about though.

We’re doing our best to make the mod run as well as we can, but you should probably expect your in-game performance to be slightly worse than Episode Two. I’ve spent the last twelve hours trying to drop the load times and increase the framerate in the first map of Office Complex, and already had to delete more than 150 physics props just to get the map to compile.

Oh god the compile times must be horrendous.

although it would be funny to see a scripted scientist fire a pistol at an enemy only to miss every single shot and get completely destroyed by the enemy’s counter attack.

i remember a year and a half ago, we had a suggestion thread dedicated to that chapter with a lot, and i mean a lot of suggestions. damn forum crash.

[dky.tehkingd.u]

Well there was that scientist who killed that headcrab with a file cabinet.

In BM, there should be a way to enter that room and pick up the file cabinet as a usable weapon.

Things I don’t want to see in Black Mesa

[Cris90]

Weapon: File cabinet
Primary function: Instant kills a headcrab.
Side-effect: Using it will cause instant death by another headcrab which was behind you.
Firing rate: Once.

Wait, aren’t we getting too much off-topic?

So, to get on topic, that’s exactly what I don’t wanna see.
