Doesn't even describe it.

Infrequently active. Don't expect an immediate response. Best to contact me at a different locale. If I create a thread, expect me to be quite active.

RE: Black Mesa Source - Red Letter Day

It's a very good game and a very faithful recreation of a good game. I think it's a little too faithful, though. Playing it has reminded me of all the bad parts of Half-Life as well as the awesome level design and AI and all that. Every enemy other than the human ones sucks. Vortigaunts just stand vacantly until you round a corner, then they instantly fire at you with extreme accuracy. Headcrabs can attack right as they spawn. The SMG is barely effective against the marines, too

I am confuz. So this is "just" a mod, not a new game? If so, what game?

Still hasn't gotten over the loss of wubwub...

It's a mod that requires the 2007 Source SDK Base and nothing else.

It's a complete remake of the original game with improved graphics, sounds and controls. Or so they say Big Grin

I rate it 3 memes.

However, it doesn't have Xen levels in it.

I don't understand, is this like, HL3 or something?

*Sigh* only now do I see this

While this is great, I'm actually kind of annoyed...okay Valve, it's great you want to remake a classic but come on seriously...where's our HL3, I'd much rather have HL3 then a remake of HL1, but enough being pessimistic, don't look a gift horse in the mouth

This was made by a modding team called Black Mesa, not Valve themselves; I believe Black Mesa spent a few years on this. Also I don't think it's right to consider this a mod; it seems this was made from the ground up on an entirely new engine, but was only designed after the original game.

The sounds, graphics and controls are definitely better though.
