Dunno if this is the right place to post it, but oh well.
I tried it out today.
I think certain stuff has slightly improved, such as shiny surfaces, a few nicer textures and effects, and updated guns.
I didn't notice the ragdolls that much though, i smacked a zombie fifteen times in an attempt to smack him off the platform (1m away), and I failed miserably.
I guess I'll just have to wait for the shotgun to see em flying, eh ? :P
But seriously, this could've been soooooo much better.
1) They could've updated the graphics (or at least high-def textures), but I don't mind the graphics that much
2) It says the game uses the well-known source physics.
So far stuff as small as a carton of milk stay glued to the floor when I move against/over it, barrels don't fall over when I hit them with the crowbar, etc.
So far, the only thing "Source" I noticed was the slight graphical updates and shiny surfaces and water.
I haven't noticed any Source physics yet, anyone feeling the same ?

I was in a nostalgic mood today, and since I had never played HL Source before, I thought I'd start a new game.
After playing through a few chapters, I died, and to my utter surprise, instead of being taken back to the previous loading point, I was thrown back ALL THE WAY TO THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME.
Nice, I probably won't be playing this anymore for a few days, I feel pretty frustrated now >:[

So do I. I've been playing CoD: Finest Hour and can't pass the first level because it is too friggin dark. I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
 
Already know about it, and I'm looking soooo forward to it :O
Is there any approx. release date, cause the site doesn't seem to be updated at all :S

there is never a release date for mods..

I meant an approx. release date...
Not like a genuine release date, but how much % is it complete, and do they have any idea around when it will be completed ?
 
Supposedly there is gonna be a big media update for BMS in September/October. Hopefully it's going to be an in game video. :D
 
well last time we got told 50 percent completion mark, but think of this way, that was the easy bit! They got the Xen levels to do yet. so I think around Summer next year.

Can't they just get rid of the Xen levels ? ;)
 
I can't even imagine how great Black Mesa Source will be.
Just think about it. The old classic Half-Life with the Source-engine...
If they manage to succeed, I'll just burst into tears :rolleyes:
 
All this hype for old Black Mesa. Do you think it will honestly be half as good as some people are imagining it will be.
 
the only things in HL:S that use the new physics engine are the few things in HL1 were programmed to be 'moveable', like metal boxes you were ment to push and use in some fashion, which were only in a few places throughout the game.
 
so practicaly, HL source isnt as good as H>L 2 right? (if thats what you're trying to say that is...)
 
i doubt valve put in any effort into making hl source.. very disappointed
 
What they should do it rename BMS to HL:S and give it out for free for those who have HL:S and HL2 (since its already announced free for HL2 owners). This is despite the fact that its just a mod and Valve isn't paying them :E

BMS is going to be free to ANYONE, as far as I know.
 
You have to have HL:2 and CS:S. There using both of the games props.

It maybe free... but if its as good as it looks I would have no freak'n problem paying for it!!!!! it looks that good! plus the music in the flash site when it starts up is just so dramatic... it makes me feel like coughing up $20+ for a good game.
