My memory of the levels is sporadic.

I will say this, I am playing it on Normal and I definitely feel its more challenging than the original at the same difficulty.

I am really enjoying it too. I was just thinking it couldn't have looked or played like this back in the day. The acid/blood splatter is great. All in all so far I think they did an amazing job.

 

Getting blood spatter on your gun and hands from close encounters with zombies is pretty sweet. I also noticed it seems to be more difficult. Damn marines seem to have aimbot hacks. It is basically impossible to have a 1 on 1 open area encounter with a rine without taking damage.

 

This is like when they remade goldeneye through source and made it free. Nothing beats the original.

 

But this does appear to beat the original...

 

Agree.

 

Eh.

I only played an hour of it last night. I always either love a game, or totally write it off within an hour.

 

I wouldn't say it beats the original, as that had the wow factor, it came from no-where and blew everything else out of the water, but my god it's very close.

 

So far I have no problem with the changes made and was happy to see ammo and guns were harder to find. I found some higher tier guns farther in the game then I had before.

 

I am still trying to get out of the compound. I got stuck at a part where I have to jump across boxes. I keep missing the last jump, so I got mad and minimized the game. Maybe tonight I will try again and hopefully get past that section.

 

Black Mesa shoulda had a 2 player co-op mode. Freeman + Barney tag team.

 

And so should so many other games. Co-op vs the CPU is awesome.

 

Sprint, jump, crouch. When sprinting you have to jump earlier then normal.

Cough, borderlands 2, cough.

 

Have to pay for that though

 

 

Ah dammit... just beat it. :(
