    People in the comments just fighting about which one wins. Black Mesa was made for Half Life fans to re-experience their beloved game in a new and more detailed way. It's not trying to replace hl or be better than it...

      actually it does try to be better than it, and in my opinion it *is*. and holy fucking shit if Xen will live up to the hype, and it will actually be just as good or even better than what the creators teased and said, it's gonna be hands down, A BETTER HALF LIFE 1.
      -if you want to argue, you guys should know that Gabe Newell himself isn't satisfied with HL1, and he thinks that Xen was infact the weakest part of the game. and it kinda is-

I had no time to do it so I saved and closed. I opened it after sometime and the lasergun is not there in my arsenal. I had to repeat 2 fucking hours of work.

Then again carmack is a genius. Even doom 3 aged very well. although that game came out in 2004. it still amazing. but that is what you get if carmack is making the game and engine. that guy is a genius when it comes to programming. point is it wont matter how old the game is. it can still hold up to this day. half life had some parts that are really really outdated at this point. but thats because of the source engine. its not the best engine out there.

      +EN EF it happend in 2013 when they patched the game for linux and gave the project to one single guy who has barely ever played hl 1. First he forced hd models to always be enabled and also deleted one important command for scripting. and yes bhop scripts are quite essential in hl because the game has 0 support for bhop timing and still it benefits a lot from permanent bhopping. However, about 2 month later there was a patch again that allowed to disable the hd models but yeah... its stupid. also the folder structure is extremly messed up now... you could always easily replace all modelfiles and so on in the past... Honestly why would you have to DISABLE it. - the hd models are not even made by valve, they dont belong as a basesetting into the game. Also the HQ models (in mp-settings) are still disabled by default and those were in the game already when it shipped 1998. (They have a lot more poly than the default playermodels)
      So the default setting is low poly playermodels and high poly weaponmodels which don't belong to the game. this is not made better by the fact that the 16:9 support of the game cuts away the bottom and top of the screen which is making the game look even more retarted.... try default_fov 105 //end of rage

    Half-Life 1 still looks damn nice. I mean, the colors, the atmosphere, the aesthetics. Of course the boxy look sucks, but that's another thing. I always thought that the feel of Half-Life is given by the washed down, gritty, worn off, rusty look of the compound. It just made the place look like it's been active since a long time and makes it somehow more real this way. They have conducted hundreds of experiments, everything was just another day at work, but today... today is special. Thank you Valve. You added some magic to my already magical childhood, and still do. Every year I play this again, and it feels magic, still, and that's awesome!

    I know I'm 2 years late but you should've done this comparison using the best quality version of the game, being the PS2, or the unreleased Dreamcast port if you wish. They have better and more HD maps, models, textures and more, or if you were looking to stick to the PC version I'd recommend using the Dreamcast mod. Either way still a good comparison video.

    HLF Classic: What did I do to deserve this?
    HLF Mod: Have bad graphics!
    Valve comes in later
    Valve: Why so sad?
    HLF Classic: The mod makes fun of my graphic!
    Valve doing referance: We both have a very common intrest, revenge!
    Valve turns it into Balck Mesa
    Black mesa: Wow!
    HLF Mod: I'm back! Wait, someone copied my game! I will get them!
    Black Mesa: I am HLF Classic
    HLF Mod: wut...
    BM: PRAISE GABEN!

    Буду откровенен, я не играл ни в одну из частей, что показаны на видео, но, после просмотра, я был очень удивлен. Я даже не могу представить, какую колоссальную работу сделали эти люди, они молодцы! Снимаю перед ними шляпу.

    I cannot see how people say that HL 1 is > BM . HL 1 was a game that was released 20 years ago , the mechanics and graphics are very shit by today's standard . , I can still however appreciate that HL 1 was revolutionary and set very high standards to the genre.

    Half-Life (CD): Nice menu interface. Camera tilts when strafing. My favourite version.
    Half-Life (Steam): Different menu than the CD version (I prefer the CD's menu). Camera does not tilt when strafing. Also allows HD models.
    Black Mesa: Upgraded graphics, new areas, more than 4 scientist models. The music is different though I prefer the original
    Half-Life's music.
    Half-Life Source: Almost the same as the Steam Half-Life, except with ragdolls and different water. My least favourite version.

    The Half-Life section is actually the HD pack version. You could compare the original half life, the hd pack, and black mesa.
