nice
Total agreement.
Have you checked the first page?
This is so Half-Life.
Mp5.
Most beautiful model I’ve ever seen. Probably Has been postet before already, but well I love it
I’m no expert on aviation or anything, but isn’t that plane insanely low. Either it’s bigger than I imagine, or it’s actually just above the lamp posts. Anybody else thinks so or is it just me?
Raminator said that in that picture, it’s in the process of bombing the crap out of that road. So yes, low flying.
Ok since I saw this video it doesn’t seem so impossible. But still, the way the road ends with a sudden, high wall still makes the pilot seem insane.
Are things still bombed like that? I’d think they’d use some sort of laser guidance as opposed to some low flight carpet bombing. Just my thoughts.
Looking through the thread it appears as though the BM team have made vast improvements to the level designs (not that any of us wasn’t expecting that).
That actually make sense now. Some of the levels, because of the graphics at the time, just didn’t seem to suit a science facility in my eyes. That’s all changed with these screenies. 
I love the BMS theme, that’s my fav , and to be honest I love every each one of the pictures…

Thanks CatzEyes <3!!
THe only thing I have to complain about Black Mesa is that it’s making Half-Life look like total shit.
It was the greatest computer game of the 90’s and this horrible, wonderful work of art has made the once proud visuals look like dry cardboard held together with duct tape.
Oh well, it’s still awesome and I can hardly wait for it to be released
???
contradiction much?
Just noticed somethign interesting, these two screenshots are of the same area, but it looks like it has been entirely redesigned during the development process

https://www.catzeyes93.com/images/BlackMesa/images/03_c1a2_release12_003.jpg
The latter appears to be the newer one, note the lack of Half-Life 2 props and textures.
Would it be safe to assume that the rest of the Office Complex has been redesigned extensively from the older screenshots?

Also looking at the dam pictures you have seemingly increased the scale of that structure, perhaps even doubling it in height it poses an interesting dilemma on the gameplay of that section since you are supposed to dive to the bottom to go through the pipe. With the larger dam it now seems to be a little bit more of a challenging feat although i have no doubt you have circumvented this problem with some smart gameplay alterations which i cannot wait to try out on my own when the mod is finally released.
Also relating to changes during development i noticed you have decided to go without the folded stock on the Spas-12, which to be honest is more accurate to the original, which leads to the question of why you have opted for a red-dot sight on the MP5, while there most certainly wasn’t one in the original, artistic license? It looks cool sure, but given that it doesn’t really add in functionality, merely aesthetics I’m still curious behind the motivation of this.
On the topic of favorite piece of media though i guess I’ll have to go with this:

Very beautiful in many ways except for the pillars of rock in the background which look a little bit out of place.
Well, duh.
Can’t you just compare them? There are couple of screenshots from office complex. Catz has both the new ones and the old ones. You can clearly see the difference between them. Mostly because the first pic is from media release 3 (hence the “mr3” in the pic name) and the second is the latest pic from MR12 so it’s pretty obvious that they are different. And of course you can assume that the other parts (which weren’t shown) have also been changed. They made tons of new models and textures since MR3 so why wouldn’t they apply them to other parts. That’s why you don’t need half-life 2 and CS: S to run the mod. You only need a game with Source SDK.
That’s why.
I think my favourite BM media will become the DVD I burn the download to after release so I can take it over to my bandwidth-impaired brother’s place…
This thread just made me want this game/mod even more.

I love the lighting, the mood that it sets, and the creativeness.
The zombie scientist is my ~all time favorite~ due to the sexy claws. I mean, damn, it just looks nasty and alien and freaky and awesome and I feel like I can touch it’s chest cavity and feel the wetness and the ripped organs and…<333
I fell in unrequited love with the mod at that very moment.
