Shoutout to JoAcoNS for letting me know that there are unique scripts and voicelines for bringing the Guard with you to the first security turret - I didn't even know this was possible and it was very cool to show. That's the thing about Half-Life games - I always learn something new every time I play :) My favourite part of this chapter is how it serves as a mini training level for Freeman in using his weapons and dodging Vort lightning. In previous versions of the game, the .357 Magnum was acquired here as opposed to the Shotgun, which allowed players to cheese most fights just by the sheer stopping power of that gun (even the toughest enemies in this section, Vorts and Bullsquids, can be one-shot killed by shooting them in the right place). By swapping it out for the Shotgun like in HL1, and with the buffs to the Vorts, players now have to get close to them in order to effectively use the Shotgun, but they also run the risk of missing a shot when the Vorts strafe to the sides. Office Complex's tiled floors are also forever engrained in my head.
That security guard kick. I enjoyed this level alot back in the original HL1. Most of my time was spent on keeping the NPCs alive and herding them around their AI pathfinding. Then Black Mesa adds in the detail of them acknowledging your effort at the elevator shaft. It was nice. I see that you used mods to enhance the game, making it more realistic. There's another mod pack that adds in even more, called "Staff Overhaul", but I can't say anything about compatibility or bugs. A bonus point for trying to be cinematic or *realistic* to your gameplay would be to not reload every two shots. Or atleast reload when you're low. Though I would not blame you if you cannot fight back the urge.
I have grown pretty fond of this level as well. It's really one of the few chapters in the game where you fight generally easy enemies , compared to the run and gun action of WGH and later. The atmosphere and mood in this segment is great too. I believe the Staff Overhaul mods are still broken as of the Definitive Edition update - I can certainly check them again for WGH. Although I know that some of them actually change the level design as well, which I'm not sure if I'll cover in this playthrough. I hear ya on the reloading, it's a bad habit of mine. In my head I'm always trying to make sure I have enough ammo for the next encounter/enemy. Funnily enough, in Half-Life: Alyx, I was much more stingy on my reloads because ammunition is more scarce; every shot count so I actively avoided reloading as much as I could. But in Black Mesa, it's everywhere. I'll try to make an effort not to do it all the time, but no promises (especially with the MP5).
I felt bad leaving behind so many scientists, but I guess most of them are pretty stubborn about staying put. Honestly, they'd probably get gunned down by the HECU if they did try to reach the surface.
He might actually have more time to learn about the government cover-up at least than he would have if he had gone straight up and met the marines right off the bat
I love how in Half Life, the only incentive to save Barney was more ammo, but Crowbar Collective we're like "If Barney dies, no shotgun for you, fucker!"
It's been ages since I played HL1, but wasn't the first shotgun also located within that caged area? I recall that you definitely had to save the guard in that game as well to get the weapon.
@@Sexy_Nutella In the original, there was a shotgun just sitting outside on a crate with an ammo box. So you could pick it up without needing to save the Barney.
0:31 Actually it _is_ possible to save that guy from the Barnacle in BM too (at least in v1.0, which I made a video about): Don't trigger the scripted scene ("Hello? Who's there?"), go straight into the hole in the wall, bringing a junk item with you (there's several on the shelves beside the hole). If you're quick enough, you can have the Barnacle's tongue snag the prop instead of the scientist, giving just enough time to kill it before it spits out the inedible prop.
Interesting, I didn't even think of doing that (skipping the trigger outright). I'm sure it can still be done if that is the case - I'll update my description. Thanks a lot!
At 13:07 they way you control Gordon made it that he was actually running in trying to help and him reversing to see the dismeberberd(sorry if that is spell wrong)pieces makes him very human nice job :D
Another atmospheric segment. I always liked to keep the NPCs alive in this level. Huh, it could be a decent survivor game or series, just following a small group trying to get around Black Mesa, surviving, and getting more and more people tagging along. Some going ahead, scouting while others hang back in a safe spot, catching their breath, and stuff.
They could make some cool turn-based tactical game out of your concept! Even with RPG elements: guards are good for direct combat or first aid, while scientists are working on buffs/debuffs, fixing machinery, making traps, accessing restricted zones and so on. Add levelling and skills - weapon proficiency (restricted only for guards), negating crippling wounds and providing bonus damage against Xen lifeforms (biologists), making mines or gas grenades (chemists), assembling 'exotic' weapons (physicists). Some stealth missions - evading HECU units. Maybe even integrate everything into main plot, making protagonists one of groups supporting Gordon's rampage across complex and later Xen. Or simply focus on escaping Black Mesa.
i remember when i was playing through this section for the first time. sometime around 25:50 was when i realised that the clock had ticked past midnight, into 2023. it felt really weird that the new year had come, yet i was just doing something mundane like every other night
I find that games usually make a memory stick in my head as well. Not that it's a particularly memorable moment but I do fondly remember the good ole days where I too would just be chilling and spending a night gaming without a care in the world
There’s some unique dialogue with the first guard that you didn’t show. When you go near the window that shows the houndeye staring at the TV while he’s with you, he’ll exclaim “Holy shit, it’s a dinosaur!” at which point the houndeye will stand up and yell at the two of you. The guard’ll say “Back up! Back up!” followed by “Oh yeah, I’m asking for a raise.” after retreating from the window.
New subscriber here 👍 Finally someone who doesn't cause my head to spin with 360 turns stupidly. Love gamplays where you properly explore and read dialogues. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Loving your playthroughs. Crowbar hit it out of the ball park. The details they added makes the facility seem real. The NPC's are great. People that worked at BMRF add relationships, hobbies, they laughed, just like any large workplace. I seem more invested when I play Black Mesa as opposed to the original, and I love the crap out of that one.
Yeah, BM really enriched the facility and its personnel to the point where I actually cared about them. I felt really bad whenever a Guard is scripted to die because they all seemed like super chill guys that I'd grab a beer with
Thanks!! I stopped 8 months ago and started up again today and I had totally lost my memory of where I was. A few minutes with this vid and I was able to find my place.
Here's one tips for incoming chapters: *'We've got hostile': if you let scientist get injured by the first HECU soldier and than save him, he'll comment it. Also you can save first scientist from being exploded by tripmines and being killed by turret if you quickly break emergency glass near first blast door, as I remember he'll comment it. *'On a Rail': try to bring a Security guard with you on the rail cart in rocket silo - you'll get few new sequences; *'Surface Tension': after you'll jump to elevator in hangar filled with tripmines don't pick up Hive "hand", save a Security guard first and only after that pick "hand" up, guard will comment it with jokes (try a few reloading of save, you'll get different joke every time).
Some of these I'm aware of and will do, others I won't - for instance I already recorded WGH and let the scientists die, because I'm trying to make it seem as if it's Gordon's first time through these levels too. Saving the scientists require a lot of foresight, which doesn't seem realistic given his situation. However I will bring the guard with me in OaR. Maybe on the Hivehand jokes, seems weird that Gordon wouldn't pick it up right after landing on the elevator.
@@Sexy_Nutella It may be believed that Gordon didn't pick up Hivehand at first cuz he thought that it was just a gib or cuz of stress due to great number of explosives material.
15:17 Watching this, i burst out laughing at clifford’s words cause the military arrives however only there to cover up the black mesa incident, then at the end of opposing force, black mesa ends up getting nuked, and later gordon freeman lives many years after the resonance cascade being known as a hero
(4:06) Wow....Emergency Broadcast? Huh... if you thought things got worse underground, think about the outside and what going on. I wonder... what would you do if you heard that broadcast?
12:51 If you would go in that room with your guard, he will say "Happy tales you poor bastered" or something like that to the dead scientist. Great gameplay otherwise.
Hmm I had thought that was just random idle chatter from the Guard, good catch. I try to catch everything but unfortunately some things are missed in my runs.
@@Sexy_Nutella You are doing more than enough. I also didn't know about that script with guard and sentry gun. I only heard him in the background saying 'jesus f Crist man'.
I just got this game yesterday, and I gotta be honest here, this chapter had me stuck many times, especially the part where the guard gets attacked by his friend who turned into a zombie, except I didn’t kill the zombie before he died, so i was kinda just stuck there looking around lol
Trivia: the second ceiling turret is inaccessible in the original game. However, if you noclip to the turret room, you will find a switch for the turret and another ladder. It seems the devs at Valve blocked off the path to the turret room in the final version. Clearly, Black Mesa knew about this path and chose to allow the player to access it.
The path is accessible in original HL1 as well. All you have to do is destroy the ceiling with the crowbar. In Black Mesa, this is not the case - the ladder is simply open.
Sexy Nutella I think you forgot something in this video ! In the office at 14:12, you can find an easter egg containing Dr. Breen's plans to take over the world ! Thinks that happens in HL2 !
Good find, thanks for pointing that out! My priority with these videos is to present the storyline as best as I can, but I do try to find all the hidden secrets and areas as best I can. Sometimes things that are out of the way are missed unfortunately. I believe that same drawing can be found in a secret portal at the Surface Tension cliffside
And by the way, when you get to Gonarch's Lair don't forget to add this in the Trivia/Notes : "the healing pool were you kill the bullsquids is same area were Gordon was teleported during the Resonance Cascade" ! You will recognized it if you watch carefully !
It's done in multiple loads across each map; if you look really carefully you can see where I cut them together. I wish I could say I did it in one sitting but that's not really possible with how I want to show the game. Having the video be done in different chunks ensures that if i screw up a run, I don't have to redo the whole chapter.
I don't know some people find this annoying but I just created an original character for Half Life the character is named Felicia Yu and their a high-level security guard for Black Mesa with some former Black Ops training or maybe they are still Black Ops but this is like their full time or something I don't know how to play the story when it comes to my character yet, well origin wise and they were protecting Alyx Vance as a favor for Eli and manage to escape with them from Black Mesa thanks to her expertise they mostly get out unharmed besides the minor dust ups with HECU never seen the entire story with Black Mesa so I don't know if Gordon meets Eli again during it. If you support this or not please let me know I never get much feedback especially when they start writing them into the story
@@jankoutecky4771 Maybe they can fix that in future . If whole game come out can be better . Im waiting for blue shift and opposing force black mesa versions too but is taking a time i guess .
14:40 No goddamn Black Mesa player can catch an object a hzombie threw that fuckin fast, you're a freak of nature, keep making videos, you're amazing at this damn game
From the Combine Overwiki: "the health takes 20% of the damage, while the suit takes 80%/2 of the damage". So the headcrab's 15 damage attack takes 15/5=3 points off my health, and 15*0.8/2 =6 points off my suit, which you can see reflected on the HUD (went from 100HP, 100 HEV to 97HP, 94 HEV).

Thank YOU :)
god office complex's music feels like the universe saying "you know they're gonna fail, right?"
I get the same vibes with On a Rail 1 as well :)
sooo satisfying to see you save all the NPCs and settle them down in the cafeteria area
Gotta make sure the gang's all safe and sound
That’s something the real Freeman would do
when I met them I killed him and took the bullet :v (Half life 1)
@Ace Becks Gonna have to try that gun pointing trick next time!
I love how all the NPCs move out of your way. Guess the devs played a lot of games where the NPCs wouldn't.
So much better than in HL2 too where the NPCs would try to move out of your way but can't because of the cramped corridors.
That security guard kick.

"I'm not smug, I'm better than you."
That's going on my list of things to never say to the guy with the gun in a survival scenario.

@@Sexy_Nutella Funny thing is Half-Life and Resident Evil 2 were released in the same year

Absolute Xbox gamer pack
How to store properly a headcrab : 6:44
Had to reload so many times just to get that angle right lol
That part killed me.
3:46 I love this guy
Tried not to kill it but the Guard will always shoot it when I bring him through :(
0:32 I hate the fact that due to source's physics, the NPC ragdolls upon being grabbed by the Barnacle, making you unable to save him this time.
Ya, I always liked how in HL1 it showed they were still struggling until they were engulfed

Here's one tips for incoming chapters:
*'We've got hostile': if you let scientist get injured by the first HECU soldier and than save him, he'll comment it.
Also you can save first scientist from being exploded by tripmines and being killed by turret if you quickly break emergency glass near first blast door, as I remember he'll comment it.
*'On a Rail': try to bring a Security guard with you on the rail cart in rocket silo - you'll get few new sequences;
*'Surface Tension': after you'll jump to elevator in hangar filled with tripmines don't pick up Hive "hand", save a Security guard first and only after that pick "hand" up, guard will comment it with jokes (try a few reloading of save, you'll get different joke every time).

All this extra dialogue was nice! Dang it! I went another year without using birthday money on buying this great game! Next year for sure!
This game goes on sale quite often too, so keep an eye out for that if you're interested
Just by the way you play, I can tell you're an expert at this. Not your first time around the block that's for sure.
Haha, definitely not and I'm glad you appreciate the gameplay. I did a ton of preparation for this series.
15:17
Watching this, i burst out laughing at clifford’s words cause the military arrives however only there to cover up the black mesa incident, then at the end of opposing force, black mesa ends up getting nuked, and later gordon freeman lives many years after the resonance cascade being known as a hero
Please, Sexy Nutella, I am begging you, please - you left the woman in the fridge. Please go back for her. She needs to be with her friends.
Unfortunately there is no way to get the woman to follow you :(
They kept the Del Monte boxes in the freezer from Half-Life? Nostalgia!
I did not realise those were in HL1 as well! Never really paid attention to be honest haha
(4:06) Wow....Emergency Broadcast?
Huh... if you thought things got worse underground, think about the outside and what going on.
I wonder...
what would you do if you heard that broadcast?
It really is a chilling broadcast!
@@Sexy_Nutella I agree, and surprisingly that is a perfect accurate broadcast that sounds and happens in real life.
14:40 Nice catch!

Indeed!!
12:51 If you would go in that room with your guard, he will say "Happy tales you poor bastered" or something like that to the dead scientist. Great gameplay otherwise.

I totally missed the ladder into the ceiling at 10:05. Thank you :)
Explosions got better than before. 💥😍
I actually use a mod called the "Particle Enhancement Project" to make the explosions look like that :)
I just got this game yesterday, and I gotta be honest here, this chapter had me stuck many times, especially the part where the guard gets attacked by his friend who turned into a zombie, except I didn’t kill the zombie before he died, so i was kinda just stuck there looking around lol
Oh no! Shame, as the Shotgun is really helpful for the rest of the level :(
28:39 u can save the guy thats being thrown thru the window just rush the zombie and headshot him
Interesting, didn't know that! Thanks for sharing
3:09 after you enter inside the office playing the creepy Music
I used to think that track was so out of place in a Half-Life game, but now it fits the chapter perfectly to me. Those piano notes are really cool.
This is almost becoming source 2 like
Yeah they managed to get a ton of mileage out of the Source Engine :)

Glad you like it :)
Sexy Nutella I think you forgot something in this video ! In the office at 14:12, you can find an easter egg containing Dr. Breen's plans to take over the world ! Thinks that happens in HL2 !
Good find, thanks for pointing that out! My priority with these videos is to present the storyline as best as I can, but I do try to find all the hidden secrets and areas as best I can. Sometimes things that are out of the way are missed unfortunately. I believe that same drawing can be found in a secret portal at the Surface Tension cliffside
@@Sexy_Nutella I try to find that secret portal but I never figured out were it could be :))
And by the way, when you get to Gonarch's Lair don't forget to add this in the Trivia/Notes : "the healing pool were you kill the bullsquids is same area were Gordon was teleported during the Resonance Cascade" ! You will recognized it if you watch carefully !
Love the role playing here.
Glad you appreciate this playstyle! :)
At 8:41 you can see a switch thing on the wall. Interacting with it will turn off the electricity.
So 3:52 has anyone tried decoding the SAME tones? Are they valid?
Not me personally but I'd be interested to know too. Though I wonder if that's just the generic EAS chime in tone?
I'm damaged from watching too many speedruns. I'm shouting at the screen: NO DON'T GO EXPLORE THERE YOU WASTE YOUR TIME!
Just trying to be thorough! Usually when I play I don't slow down as much as shown in the video haha
How do you record these? Are they done in one sitting without saving/loading or is it seemlessly spliced together?
It's done in multiple loads across each map; if you look really carefully you can see where I cut them together. I wish I could say I did it in one sitting but that's not really possible with how I want to show the game. Having the video be done in different chunks ensures that if i screw up a run, I don't have to redo the whole chapter.

@@jankoutecky4771 Maybe they can fix that in future . If whole game come out can be better . Im waiting for blue shift and opposing force black mesa versions too but is taking a time i guess .
I've heard good things about Azure Sheep. I'll give that a play after I finish Black Mesa.
14:40 No goddamn Black Mesa player can catch an object a hzombie threw that fuckin fast, you're a freak of nature, keep making videos, you're amazing at this damn game
Glad you enjoy the content :) I had the benefit of knowing he's likely to punt that object at my face haha
What song plays at the freezer area?
Office Complex (Mesa Remix) by Joel Nielsen
Have they tweaked the controller controls yet? I remember it being a nightmare when I first downloaded.
Yabba! My icing! Gahhhh!
Black Mesa unfortunately has 100% less yabbas :(
so stupid that if Barney dies you have to just suicide and restart.
Will you do Unreal II next?
Sometimes I dream about cheese
does crouching increase accuracy in this?
Nope.
Don't think so, but it does help with my recoil.

At 9:38 let him just watch tv XD
Unfortunately if I bring the Guard with me he immediately shoots it, so I had to put it down myself :(
13:32 don't headcrabs take 15 hp damage on hard? How did he do only 9 hp
From the Combine Overwiki:
"the health takes 20% of the damage, while the suit takes 80%/2 of the damage".
So the headcrab's 15 damage attack takes 15/5=3 points off my health, and 15*0.8/2 =6 points off my suit, which you can see reflected on the HUD (went from 100HP, 100 HEV to 97HP, 94 HEV).
game doesn't work too good on Steam Deck.

Do they add controller support with the new update?
I don't believe so unfortunately.
