@@PolarDog 1. Obviously BM:BS is great, and I don’t think one will be better than the other, but Guard Duty just seems more interesting to me personally.

@@obamasdadlol Many fan projects end up getting cancelled over the years, especially if they take too long. Last I heard they were using the CSGO branch of Source, which will be replaced by Source2 soon, so there's a possibility they could be left without an engine. And BMBS already makes use of the improvements put forth by Crowbar Collective. Adding more unnecessary flair to an engine doesn't necessarily make it better.
Okay. While I'm sure Operation: Black Mesa's Blue Shift half will be good in it's own right, it's going to be hard to match the charm this remake is providing.
@@kylewhite96 Yeah I kinda feel this mod is going for a modern retelling of the expansion, where Operation Black Mesa is gonna try and do what Crowbar Collective did with Xen and basically redoes the whole thing. Not to say one is gonna be better than the other, but it's clear they are going for different experiences. Though I do feel most people will play OBM for the Opposing Force remake mostly.
Apples and oranges. I adored black mesa but i dont compare it to the original. Have you tried the multi-player deathmatch? I've been having a blast. And now that HLRTX is out I'm in heaven.
@@Serveck i love the essence of the half life remake. the world feels more alive than Ever. the gameplay feels not great for me which is why i might never see it as a replacement. the humor which stems from the original is well executed and added upon. and half life rtx i do love very much, yeah
Honestly, in the sections where your companions are fighting with you, The marines are 100x more fun to fight in my opinion due to them being distracted.
No. There's none of this type of cutscene in the original Blue Shift. There are no guard companions in this Chapter either in the original. Come to think of it, there are no Guard Companions in the whole of OG Blue Shift, only scientists.
Because we love barney. The opposing force mod has been in development limbo for years now. Besides there's so many mods out now to fill that void like entropy zero 2
See 'Operation: Black Mesa' and 'Guard Duty' by Tripmine Studios for that one (You could think of it as "What Black Mesa was to Half Life now for Opposing Force & Blue Shift" sort of thing, with some very ambitious production values of it's own). It's got a Steam store page as of somewhat recently, but it's been in development for a *very long* time (The earliest I've known about it was probably around 2010). That said, they have gotten somewhat more lively reports of their progress in the last few years.
@@McGeezle Opposing Force was a proper expansion with a lot of new systems and productions values to account for such as new weapons, new AI, new enemies, new characters and even having a Xen Map adjacent to a Terra/Earth map for the Displacer's alt-fire, all of which make a much taller order to recreate and/or iterate upon, especially when working within the confines of an existing game that was already working (Initially at least) with Half Life 2's systems & assets as a base. In short, to make any kind of "Black Mesa: Opposing Force" to the caliber that HECU Collective has so far achieved with Black Mesa: Blue Shift demands a lot more work to be done and probably a lot more time to pull it off. I'm sure someone out there that I don't know about may have already tried or may be trying, but I can imagine one saying "Well, Tripmine Studios is still visibly working on Operation: Black Mesa with some very appealing production values above what Black Mesa has, so let's see how that turns out.", especially as anybody making HECU-themed mods may want to work with what Operation: Black Mesa has to offer instead of working within the limitations of Black Mesa as I've seen some try.

@@UnstoppableGiant anytime! It's a ton of fun!

Wear your helmet!

Im worried on how Blackmesa Guard Duty will own up to this now. Blackmesa Blue Shift is already a masterpiece.
I like blue shift a bit more, cuz it’s endorsed by the creators (and obviously the original voice actors) of black mesa
It simply won't. BM Blue Shift will always be the superior way to play Blue Shift in BM.
And I doubt Guard Duty and OpBM will ever actually release.
