@@synkree i mean they might as well, blue shift never really had too much of a plot to begin with, all there really was is "barney escapes black mesa with the help of a scientist using an old teleporter" i mean obviously there is tons of worldbuilding to make the world more realistic. but not much of a plot... so i love the way this mod is going

@@DeathScepter I'm not sure about that one, I have been a security guard and we didn't have any requirements for physical shape, but most of the guards at least looked like they were in decent shape, same can't be said about Black Mesas security personnel, in the Opposing Force and Blue Shift DLC's we will often find obese security guards.

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.

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.

Thanks for playing! :) 🍩
@@UnstoppableGiant anytime! It's a ton of fun!
I like how it wasn't the kick that killed the HECU, but in fact that he got his head impaled on the coat rack
Wear your helmet!
and the door handle sort of
The attention to details
“What the- well don’t stand behind it then!” Fuckin killed me lol
And his MP5 is nicely hung from another hanger
It's not even a remake anymore, it's a whole new game.
Definitely it's Definitive Edition

Kinda feels like while saying "what the f-" the voice actor holds back a laugh too :D
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.

Accurate HL door physics

yeah i think they were referecing that :D maybe ?
Nice they recreated hl1 door physics.
Kevin Sisk himself proves that we voice actors deserve some fuckin respect
" Oh! What the f... *wheezes* "
I like how the guard says "then dont stand behind it then"
That kick bass the guard made me laughing :))
you can't skip leg day when you are leg day

-Wait.. You have a code for the door?
-Uhh kinda.

Some say Capcom has the best remakes. Well then folks you might wanna check this one out first.
