Black Mesa - Surface Tension - Gargantua Chase
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- Gordon Freeman evades a Gargantua hot on his heels as he tries to reach the Lambda Complex, in Black Mesa's re-imagining of the same sequence from Half-Life 1.
The devs really turned the chase up a notch, from the excellent and suspenseful score "Surface Tension 3", to the chilling radio messages from a dying HECU soldier, to the parking garage littered with corpses from both factions, and of course, the literally explosive entrance of the Gargantua itself.
Fun fact, in the original mod release, a large part of Surface Tension was not included - after Gordon destroys the tank on the Osprey landing pad, he sneaks through a vent and it falls, transitioning to the Garg chase (and thereby skipping a large section of Surface Tension). The devs have since gone back and "uncut" the chapter, leading to this epic redo of the chase scene.

@@SomeGrunt_On_RUclips to be honest, watching a giant alien burst through a gas tank would make me shit my pants, especially if I knew that had flamethrower hands.
That artillery crew should get several medals for all of those pinpoint shots they make.
Right? Any closer and that shell would've killed Freeman instead of the Garg haha.
Tbh considering the quality of the targeting pad those are probably computer-aimed shots
I think those are GPS guided mortar rounds. Those things have 5m CEP, accurate as fuck.
They also fire immediatly after the target is received.
@@SirHellNaja ..."50% chance of landing within 5m" doesn't sound that accurate when you're standing at most a couple dozen meters from the target and it looks like the shells are being launched from only a couple hundred meters away.
The entire garage section is incredible. It's one of the best parts of the Earth section of the game. The flat out apocalyptic-sounding EAS alert. The dying HECU Marine on the radio with the medic. The HECU zombies. And finally, of course the Gargantua, faster and smarter than the original, chasing you through the tunnels while being right on your ass the whole time (close enough to instantly kill you if you take one wrong step)...The whole section is the stuff of nightmares. And it's fucking amazing.
The score is also amazing, it really fits the mood of this section of the level.
The creators of this game are true geniuses.
& then there's interloper
Questionable ethics lobby battle is also very good.
gordon's heart was probably beating at mach 10
Everyone talks about Mr X chasing you, but nobody talks about this guy
"Why do I hear boss music?"
@@Sexy_Nutella yeah, thats what Gatgantua said about Gordon xd
Lol
yeah..
Hey Ronald McDonald! KFC is better! 🙌🖕
its so terrifying when you escape outside and seeing the vtols flying away realising how out of control the situation is
Yeah, that's one of the elements I love about Black Mesa - seeing the Apaches and Ospreys evacuating the facility
@@Sexy_Nutella and the fighter jets attempting to cover the retreat, don't forget those.
that's an addition of Black Mesa. They really went out with contextual storytelling.
I found out something terrifying. If you don’t destroy the gargantua and get across that tower. The gargantua will breakthrough the gate and chase you the rest of the level
I actually learned this not too long ago from a RUclips comment as well! I wonder if it'd follow you all the way down to tunnel to the next chapter hahaha.
holy shit i'll try that it sounds adrenaline pumping
It doesn't seem to happen anymore for some reason; I just tried it.
Did you learn that the easy way or the hard way?
@@Sexy_Nutella i just tried to do that 5 minutes ago in the 2012 version of the game, well indeed, he breakthrough the gate and chase you, but is a little bit buggy, he can chase you till the next lvl
Love how the song loops until the Gargantua starts chasing you.
Agreed. It makes the entire section so tense, especially with that thumping heartbeat noise.
@@Sexy_Nutella Yeah, I never finished og hl1, so when I got to this part my reactions were as follows: Why do I hear Marines??? Why Is the music looping!?? *Gargantua starts chasing me* HOLY FU-
Epic chase of year
What's the name of the music?
@@f4tal1ty44 Surface Tension part 3
Just think this is the last time Gordon will see the surface until Half Life 2... and this is the state when he leaves it. The military is pulling out, everything is going to hell, aliens everywhere, bombs falling, sirens screaming, gunfire everywhere. Has got to be a pretty terrifying sight to see and Black Mesa captures that feeling perfectly.
Just a beautifully terrifying atmosphere that puts dread into the pit of your stomach. Ugh I love it
Yeah, the atmosphere at this point in the game is unparalled.
this isn't the last time, there is still a hour until sunset, which was right before Forget About Freeman, then it is completely dark, just like the fate of BMRF
Gotta love the voice acting, portrays the HECU as desperate marines so well
Oh yeah. I'm actually glad they went and redid the ones from the mod version - those were way too cheesy and "supervillain-like". I can understand why they chose that at first (I mean, the HECU voice in HL1 were also pretty cheesy) but the revamped voice works so much better in the game, especially when the HECU are getting their asses kicked.
@@Sexy_Nutella reaches a point where you feel really sad for them
@@adlerdoesdumbshit8990 Half Life's Surface Tension: Yeah! Take that marines!
Black Mesa's Surface Tension: Oh my God, you poor, poor bastards...
They're just kids, some fresh out of high school, doing what they were told to do by leaders who had no idea what was going on.
@@chistinelane Aren't they Marine Corps Special Ops? Training those guys takes way longer than your average grunt, right?
Me: Accidentally hits a villager in Minecraft
The Golem: 1:56
I think one of the best decisions they made for this adaptation was to make the HECU marines progressively get more human as the xen invasion gets worse. It's so touching realizing that they're just as scared and confused as you are. I've always wished for a version of Half-Life where there's at least a little bit of reconciliation between Gordon/the Black Mesa Staff and the HECU presence there.
Well said; you do feel for the HECU in these last moments of Surface Tension, despite them murdering your colleagues en masse earlier
Adrian and the last batch of marines gets deployed just some hours before this moment, hence why some actually cooperate with the scientists aside from the fact that they never got their orders. the HECU were so clueless that when they thought they’d be also killing civilians they probably got demoralised. And that impacted their performance against the Xenians
we had that in a hidden path in Sweet Half Life, a mod. It was great.
the sound track before the chase is so good, its nothing much but you know something big is going to happen
Yeah, that heartbeat thumping noise really amps up the tension
Yeah, really *BIG*
0:36 The soldier that's dying in the radio transmission is Cooper. The dead soldier found next to the map where you can redirect missiles. So, that's one cool reference.
I don't know ! He says he have lost his IFAKs to heal up but when we come up there is 2 unused close to his corpse. Maybe it has changed since the beta or he was moving toward the tower when he call for help and die near the kit from blood loss (that's not the first time that happens ingame). Hard to be 100% sure ! :/
TheChaos791 I saw a shortfilm where it shows Cooper, and he bleeds out as he reaches the medkits
This it right here: ruclips.net/video/KxAJx3aA88w/видео.html
@@MauricioJara Oh a fan film ! Thanks for the link, i'll watch it properly for my own pleasure, but i already see a problem for the first minute. He says left leg but he looks injured at the right one in the fiction. Guess you can't be accurate everywhere when you make a 15 min video. Well you might be right but i'm still suspicious. Sorry. :(
They should keep that transmission in the Black Mesa remake of Opposing Force
Honestly, marking the map was harder than running away
Lol, so true. The cursor would keep flashing on and off on my screen.
True to the original lmao remember how you had to align X and Y and had no realtime feed of the area? I bombed myself the first time
I accidentally killed myself with a rocket trying to mark that thing
@@ricksaburai do not mention the original bomb map
That frantic marine screaming "Now, now NOW NOW! BLOW IT! SHIT!" :D
The atmosphere at the beginning of the video is amazing with the engine running the door chime and the sparks it's so strange without all the shooting
Agreed. In the full release they also had the last emergency broadcast playing in the jeep, saying that the catastrophe is now affecting the entire state of New Mexico. That, coupled with the OST, really hits home how severe the Black Mesa Incident was.
3:03 Meanwhile:
Commander: Shephard, you’ve made it. I take it you didn’t find Freeman? Forget it Corporal. We are puling out. The air strike has started. Get to the hanger while we await evac!
Can't wait to hear that message in O:BM to bring this full circle :)
Meanwhile me:
“You want some of m- shepar- watch your fire- friendly fi- were- were gonna kick your- you want some of- Shepard, I take it that you didnt find freeman?”
i absolutely love the music sting syncing up with the "IFAK's gone" at 0:52
I love that part too :)
Me:*Looks at all of these dead HECU grunts,me:"Meh just a little fight and both are dead"
Me:*Hears someone said "JESUS!"*
Me:*Hears a weird sound and thinks its a normal explosion in the facility *
Me:*Looks at 2 grunts running away and one of them says "NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!"*
*bomb*
*Gargantua shows up in the moment where i was drinking some water and chilling *
ME:SHIT!*Coughs while drinking water*
I'm so happy Michael Tsarouhas from NWI got to voice most of the HECU Marines in this game. Really drives home the feeling of hopeless desperation they are expressing throughout the Black Mesa incident.
Yeah. Really great voice acting
If youre attentive, youll notice this was some makeshift aid station, stretchers, medkits, IV drips and all of that, with a few headcrab zombies
I always wondered how this panic event would be in cinematic mode xdd
You saying panic event makes me immediately think of Left4Dead and the panic events in that game, and how awesome a Half-Life/L4D crossover might be haha
And yeah, this revamped scene is definitely easier to make cinematic, thanks to the excellent score :)
yeah hehehe, :D@@Sexy_Nutella
What did Freeman hear while running from the Garg?
*RUNNING IN THE 90's*
Gargantuas are more terrifying than mr X
There's no way to stun it
I appreciate the attention to detail. In the original game you call in an 'airstrike' when it clearly is artillery. Here you also call in an airstrike, and it is still clearly not a gosh darn airstrike.
This music suits this level PERFECTLY.... it reminds me of Aliens 2..
It really is. Used in the BM trailer to great effect!!
I like how the sky gets gradually darker the more you progress in the chapter
Power level is 💥*explosion*💥
giant angry flamethrower blue lobster gets eternal rest in pieces.
Lol, nice description
1:56 imagínense q en la vida real se encuentren así con un gargantua
Everybody is a gangaster until a Xenian Gargantua starts to chase you, then after that everyone becames Usain Bolt's rivals.
True, Gargs do have a tendency of lighting fires under people's asses
@@Sexy_Nutella Ah i see, people literally became rockets in their presence 😅
I used to think this is scary.
Well, it still it but the later Gargantua-Chase on Xen taught me how fear *really* feels like.
Yeah, escalated from 1 garg to like 12 hahaha
God this game has an amazing atmosphere
Definitely. The track that plays as Gordon walks through that dark tunnel with all the corpses is amazing
I didn't know the garg was supposed to chase you, I just blew it up as soon as I saw it
EasyBreadToast airstrikes?
I've watched this video so many times, last night I had a horrendous dream I was in a four floor parking lot and there was a Gargantua in each level. Then I was chased by them and I stole a motorcyle and hauled ass whilst the city was in flames with somehow the HECU taking over. It felt so real it was honestly traumatic, hahaha.
That would make for an awesome scripted sequence for sure!
@@Sexy_Nutella I got some bad childhood memories about this wonderful Xen creature for sure.
In OG you can empty all your shells just to destroy that creature. Now in Remake, he was totally INDESTRUCTIBLE, I use all my ammo on targeting the Garg’s legs, and nothing happen.
I gotta say, this is a much more scenic entry than HL1 or the mod version.
HL1 was basically: oh whoops there's a garg, better get out of here
while the mod did have the music, it was basically just "we just dropped you in front of a gargantua for no reason, start running"
meanwhile retail's just like: _EXPLOSION NOISES_
Yeah, I agree. While the mod version Garg chase caught me by surprise the first time through, it didn't really make much sense on repeat playthroughs of that section - it ignores the two marines right by it and seemed to have just appeared out of nowhere. The retail version is much more suitably epic.
Original half-life: Freeman-say hello my little grenade
black mesa:Freeman-Oh shit time to run
Hahaha!
the gargantua was trying to run from gordon but gordon got in the way
1:54 "Power level is..." BOOM
I love how the music is dynamic and that slightly tense music plays in the background until the Gargantua suddenly pops out.
I just got around to playing through Black Mesa for the first time. I heard they souped up Surface Tension but I didn't know how. I was waiting for this moment, waiting and waiting...My god, this is so badass. I love this mod so much.
Fun fact: There is no cooldown to how many airstrikes you can call at once. I spammed the "fire" button like, 30 times in a few seconds. About 30 shells fell down, and after about ten explosions the game crashed. This happened when I played about a month ago. Written 1JUL2023.
Power level is... BOOM!
1:55 Power Level Is.. *BOOM*
That timing is perfect haha
Yep
My Garg is little bit dumb, he stoops near boxes for like 3-2 seconds :(
Yeah, I think the Garg chase got a bit bugged on the full release.
My guy is trying his best.
2:04 fucking Christ, did Joel actually encouraged you to jump with the snare hold? that sync is literally breathtaking
Just a coincidence in the gameplay but he must have envisioned the chase in his head when composing the track, I'd imagine :)
Anxiety level: 80
More like 100!
How is this man so chill about it, i cant handle the amount of panic even by looking at this video, gotta say you have some balls of steel
1:57 * gargantua chase for the gordon begins *
I think I started running a bit too early in this part, because I turned around and waited for him to catch up
Thats one of the big mistake I did in this game but it was in power up chapter to lure him in the electric chamber I ran too early and he didn't see me that quick , he took time too reach me now I am playing questionable ethics hopefully I'll not do the same mistake in this surface tension chase btw... It's my first walkthrough play for this game
I remember playing a headcrab game in roblox when me and my 6 hecu buddies came to the road, one of these dudes appeared
this section was more intense for me because literally when this happened i only have 17 health LOL
Oh boy. That sounds intense!
That Garg turned into some meaty assed gibs
That it did!
1:56 The jock when hes late and he enters the classroom door:
Lmao your here to i played black mesa
and this guy didn’t come back in any of the new games
I honestly would've loved to see a Garg in HL2's wastelands. Though maybe the Combine got rid of those more easily than the Vorts.
@@Sexy_Nutella I wonder how they got rid of the gargantuas
*[Echo-3 Juliet]:* "Any station, any station, this Echo-3 Juliet… My team is ambushed…I am injured… I’m losing a lot of blood here, left leg."
*[Echo-5 Romeo]:* "Echo-3 Juliet, this Echo-5 Romeo. I need you to tie a tourniquet at hand’s length above the wound. Get one of your IFAK now."
*[Echo-3 Juliet]:* "IFAK’s gone."
*[Echo-5 Romeo]:* "Say again?"
*[Echo-3 Juliet]:* "My IFAK’s gone…I’m, uhh…I’m-
*[Echo-5 Romeo]:* "Okay, you’re gonna need to find another pack and get a tourniquet out of it."
*[Echo-5 Romeo]:* "Are you still there?"
*[Echo-5 Romeo]:* "Echo-3 Juliet, can you hear me?"
*[Background]:* "We’re losing men over here come on!"
mortar sequence was broken for me so i just had to rocket jump xd
200iq play though ;)
someone could help me, I'm stuck, can't use the device to burst the door and Gargantua, I can't. No matter how hard I press the Enter key, nothing happens.
Try using your mouse to click on the map. Thats how I beat it. Enter doesnt work for me either.
@@Sexy_Nutella ok, thank you, finally, I had passed the stage by doing noclip
Um dos melhores remakes feitos. Alto fator de replay. E por um precinho bem camarada.
O que impressiona é o nível de imersão e fidelidade a indentidade artística do HL2 que eles colocaram no jogo. A trilha sonora é sensacional.
Ohh, so you're supposed to RUN from it
What, you were trying to fight it? lol
@@ricksaburai yeah ;-;
@@ricksaburai kkkk é cada um...
If this is Resident Evil, there will be QTE during the chase.
This is the part where I leaked and dirted my pants.
2:00 Gordon Freeman: */Chuckles* “I'm in Danger.”
Gargantua: I AM the danger
Must go faster... must go faster...
Maybe the airships that you see flying away is where's Adrian Shepard is, remember, opposing force starts in forget about freeman.
Nah. When the "forget about freeman" transmission occurs, Adrian is already in Black Mesa. Makes no sense to be deployed after the evacuation order was given. At this point he's trying to evacuate but is left behind.
Technically, OpFor starts during "We've Got Hostiles" but you don't play as Adrian until "Surface Tension":
ruclips.net/video/HwLlA0Sza7o/видео.html
Shepard arrived earlier in We've Got Hostiles but he was unconcious until the end of Surface Tension.
@@instagib783 Aye, it's good to know that i'm not the only one who truly knows when shepard arrives.
Is this from hl 1? Or it's some other mod. I've never seen it.
Dat chase music tho 👌
It's a reimagining of HL1 called Black Mesa.
@@Sexy_Nutella oh
@@Sexy_Nutella He is joking he actually know what is this game
just joke dude
its from black mesa
@@Riixtard how would u know?
1:56 Oh hell nah 😂😂😂 is what I always say
I realised it only now, but I think that 2nd voice in 2:50 could be Shephard
Shepard doesnt speek
@@klutzycactus4174 yeah, but
people can speak when they want to.
@@klutzycactus4174 Actually, Half life wiki says the following :"Shepard does in fact speak in-universe, as the characters around him react to his speech despite the player not hearing it. In the training mission, Boot Camp, it is made clear Shepard tells his instructor his name when ordered to; the instructor yells "Sound off like you got a pair! .....Corporal Shephard, huh?".
Not sure if it was ever confirmed by devs though
When i used artillery for the first time
I've noticed that it's just a grenade from mp5 :D
Very good!
The situation getting worse in Surface Tension. Yes.
I play this game with the notarget command yet the Gargantua still chased me after i got out of the tunnel, even tho It wasn't attacking me yet my heart was beating so fast 🤣
if I recall it used to be able to chase Gordon all the way to the end of the chapter. Don't think that's possible now though
@@Sexy_Nutella yes it does chase but it doesn't attack.
2:38 I wonder if we could hear and see this on Operation: Black Mesa?
That would be cool. I'm so excited for that to come out!
Sexy Nutella the guy in the background who said let’s get going is Shepard mabye
Probably. It's one of the most iconic transmissions in the game. They made sure to put it into OpFor
The problem is I'm pretty sure Operation: Black Mesa is being built from the ground up and won't take any assets from Black Mesa
@@eduardoisme1590 Well what about the Temporal Paradox achievement?
this game is amazing
rip marines
1:57 the moment where you get chased from warden in minecraft
Em pensar que o Adrian Shepard estava na mesma sala junto com o comandante falando pra esquecerem do Freeman e ir embora 😞
one day i will get this game i hope
Just pirate it
@@n3wolf564 and go in prison and pee on police's face
3:38 - Zombieman sound from Doom 2.
that was an incredible banger
So in this fan made game the gargantua gets killed by a single morter meanwhile in the original game they had to use a whole artillery battalion to blow him up. They should stay with the artillery bombardment since it was more epic and it showed how streong the gargantua were.
I do wish they required more mortars or at least had a couple drop. Though I think that's to make it so that the player isn't caught in the blast
@@Sexy_Nutella in the original the expoltions were all focused in a single point. I don't see why they couldn't do the same here.
Be quick, or be dead!
I so love music that starts at 0:55...
now imagine you're a soldier
and suddenly got a Gargantua coming at you from one side and Gordon Freeman from the other side
luckily though the gargantua charges at freeman and freeman runs away leaving you in peace if you are still alive
at this moment I can't tell if freeman saved the soldier from the gargantua or did the gargantua save the soldier from gordon freeman
So... Who is this guy, Freeman?
They say...he was at ground zero.
1:54 power level is *BOOM* DUN DUNDUN DUN DUN
Беги Форест! Беги!!
What if you just destroy the antena and scape from Gargantua? Would it still run after you through the closed gates?
Originally it would, but I don't think it does anymore. A shame, it was cool that they had that
@@Sexy_Nutella It would be nice and very tense trying to open that gate with the red lever!
@@Sexy_Nutella I just tested it a couple minutes ago and it still does, but once you get through the next door that you need to spin the red valve to open a bunch of rubble will crush the gargantua.
@@genetictavi2451 Wow, nice! I'll try this later!

En el Half life Original, se tenía que explotar la puerta del Garage también, supongo que ya no se trata de destruir, sino de disfrutar :)
Sí, también lo recuerdo. ¡Supongo que no querían hacer el rompecabezas demasiado largo!
@@Sexy_Nutella ¿Hablas en español, man? Jaja
For some reason my version of game just skips the car park and goes through vent straight to this chase. Didn't know what to do after that, thanks.
You probably have the original 2012 mod version, which was incomplete.
Poor IFAK marine
Yeah, the voice acting really brings out the humanity in the marines :(
@@Sexy_Nutella Also, what happened to Cooper? (the guy operating the artillery computer)
@@theradio.9135 Look up Half-Life: Foxtrot Uniform, it's a fan-made live action short film that shows Cooper's story.
The best directors to direct a live action Half life movie adaptation:
1. The Wachowski Sisters (their Matrix movies carries that strong Half life feel), 2. Paul Verhoeven (if you watch Total Recall, the movie shares that same style as the Half life games does), 3. John carpenter (he would've been the best choice had he continued to make films mainstream today, also the Thing shares the same feeling of tension and pure terror/hopelessness as the masterpiece that the first Half life delivers), 4. J.J Abrams (definitely this guy, if you watched Super 8, probably my favorite JJ film).
Now that i think of it. Is Black Mesa basically just Half Life implemented in the Half Life 2 source engine? G-man looks exactly like he does in the original Half Life 2.
They re-use some assets like the G-man model but only to a limited extent. Black Mesa has tons of its own assets and models not from HL2
What's the name of the track from 1:59?
It's so badass.
It's called "Surface Tension 3" by Joel Nielsen
buen video sigue asi :)
¡Gracias! Significa mucho para mí
It's a big boy, you need to take him from behind. 😉
