i think a lot of people here are obsessed with details that don't really matter that much.

it's like "ooooh, that platform is 440cm wide, in hl1 it was 438cm wide, now you've ruined the whole game, i don't get it blah blah u sux0r"

i mean come on, does it really matter where the bullshi-, er, squid's eyes are? could as well been in his anus for all i care. as long as i can kill it, i'm happy.

Devs. Why have you made the portals same as in original? I thought they might look visually more spectacular in modern perception and in your conception maybe.

btw, sry for offtop. In the original, were that portals placed in random places (uww) by the reason of resonance cascade or through just early experiments of local scientists?

Wait, who said there weren't? Just because they're not in the screenshots doesn't mean they're not there.

One of the devs said that tentacles appear only once on earth levels - in BP.

I know, Which is Why I said I think they Fit in Xen.

What you missed was that I was inferring that The Tentacles Should be more abundant on Xen.

We will be able to "break" the meat chunks in the meat freezer to distract the bullsquids there into feeding on the pieces on the floor for a short while as in the original HL?

When a tentacle kills an NPC (or you) do they slump over as a ragdoll, get launched by the force, or gibbed like in HL since you have a gibbing system?

A battery can be found in Gordon's Locker, and Barney works in an entirely different sector or Black Mesa, so no, you can't get into his locker

Maybe he's talking about John Guthrie locker (USA flag and ammo).

In Half-Life 1, chapter "Forget about Freeman!", Gordon can use the M1 Abrams 120mm cannon and 50 cal. machine gun. Is it possible in Black Mesa mod?
