As if to drive the point home, the forum servers are on the fritz with so much activity. The Xen section won't be complete for a while longer, but they said it was greatly expanded and is pretty much a full game in its own right. Also, you can buy the soundtrack for pretty much whatever you want.

It's coming! At last! Been watching and waiting for this game for years!

Interesting! I take it this is a remake of HL1 in the new Source engine?

Ribs · 09/02/2012, 05:18 am

...didn't footage leak that looked horrid last month?

Don't drag my mom into this.

Not sure how I feel about this. It's free so really can't complain, but I think my excitement died years ago.

*Darth Marsden* · 09/02/2012, 08:35 am

I refuse to believe it's coming out until it's actually out.

EDIT: The announcement of their Steam Community page, since the forums are up and down like a... like a...
[High-pitched voice] A kite? [/High-pitched voice] Yes, that's it. They're up and down like a kite.

(Points to the first person to name that reference)

Well, yes, but technically Source isn't "new" anymore.

Still, it'll look GREAT. I don't care what any of you say, I'm excited. I don't care if it isn't up to snuff. Places have been redesigned a bit to look more interesting and I'm just looking forward to re-experiencing the story of HL1 all over again in a new light.

I'm with you....a big hell to the yeah for me....I've been waiting for this one for awhile and I mean seriously their delays are a hell of a lot more understandable than Valve's delay on the actuall Half-Life Games.....I have a feeling we will never see an Episode 3 but we will play Black Mesa....

They're trying to get Steam support through Greenlight now. It'd still be free and they'd get to add:

Easier installation
Achievement tracking
Stat tracking
Matchmaking

And other awesome stuff. So please go click Yes!

very Interesting

Oh, yeah. I just posted about that in the Steam Greenlight thread. Whoops.

MusicallyInspired · 09/15/2012, 04:45 am

Been playing this all night! Well, not all night. I went to bed and just got up now. They did a very nice job. I stopped at On A Rail. I love the changes and refinements. Very well done.

Johro · 09/15/2012, 06:58 am

They already have a list for the first patch, but I've only encountered a few issues(Granted a couple lead to freezing/crashing). It was cool of the team to spend the whole day on the forum though.

JedExodus · 09/15/2012, 08:12 am

Played the first chapter last night, gonna tear into it all evening once I have me dinner. Never seen a fan project on this scale before ever, really impressive stuff.

I have no doubt somebody will come bursting into the thread with complaints about the free game/mod.

EDIT: Ribs is the early worm.

*Irishmile* · 09/15/2012, 08:22 am

I played HL 1 once a long long time ago on a console I cant even remember which one.. I just remember I didn't play it much because the controls sucked.... so I think I will check this out.

Johro · 09/15/2012, 08:26 am

Be warned, the crouch-jump high jump is still there. Otherwise, it's just like Half-life 2. I used the controller though.

That'd be the PS2 version, since the Dreamcast one was cancelled, despite being pretty much finished. The DC version's also where we got Blue Shift from, being created as a DC exclusive before being ported (rather badly, TBH) to the PC as a stand-alone game.

Played to just after Gordon gets his crowbar before I had to leave for work, and I adore what they've done. This is an astounding piece of work and I cannot priase them enough for what they've done. It wasn't worth 8 years of waiting, but it's still an amazing mod and I'd urge everyone to check it out.

Special mention - The achievements and their science-y names. Love 'em.

der_ketzer · 09/15/2012, 09:28 am

Haven't played yet. I'm waiting for the Steam release. As usual.

*Darth Marsden* · 09/15/2012, 09:29 am

It's gonna be a while. Like, months.

I don't care. I can wait years if I have to. I'm used to it.
Waiting to play games has so many advantages.

° Cheaper
° Patched
° GOTY editions
° If I'm stuck someone already made a walkthrough
