Some men just wanna watch the world burn.

Also, it's a joke. I've been following BMS since 2005.

Bloody kids these days.

From the wiki:

NOTICE: The developers will not reveal anything related to Xen until the mod release.

I guess, it also counts for the soundtrack.

**CygNuS** · 13-04-12, 10:07

What would be spoilery about listing the Xen chapters in the soundtrack list?
I mean, the Xen chapter names will still be the same... right?

Maybe some Xen chapters are totally different or not even in the game anymore. Pure guess though

The music styles maybe? Or if the songs are in-game or not?

Just donated Joel $10CAD. The work I've seen so far is outstanding.

I think the phrase "not much longer" is everything other than specific. So don't start the same hype as with the gold status announcement.

**IceBone** · 13-04-12, 12:28

Not much longer than what? Longer is a comparative. You have to compare it to something.

Not much longer than 3 years?

Than whatever amount of time you've already been waiting.

**Tuskin38** · 13-04-12, 14:22

I'm not saying Joel is lying, but I won't believe its 'not much longer' until there is an official announcement on the website and forum.

**ac3d** · 13-04-12, 14:26

Won't be much longer till that ha! haha, ha..

**k3nny1550** · 13-04-12, 16:33

It'd be fantastic if it somehow came out on my birthday next month. Talk about best present ever. But it would never happen and everyone knows it ;_;

This may answer some of you guys questions.

**~~Shepard~~** · 13-04-12, 19:34

There won't be Xen levels in BMS, sadly.

Yeah, I asked him that, because some thought that there won't be any music for Xen, since the songs don't appear on the tracklist on his site.

I need to say that I've cut out the second half of my text, because it somehow sounded dumb what I wrote.

**Medevilae** · 13-04-12, 20:12

So we no longer are to expect the soundtrack as a precursor to release? He said it'll be released on release of the mod.

you can play from start to what we consider to be the end in our plans for the first release.

an idea struck my mind: What if they release Black Mesa without Xen?
I thought it was unbelievable (but not really a bad idea for a first release) so I didn't ask, but now I am getting paranoid

**DiePoente** · 13-04-12, 20:16

^The devs take this "No info about Xen, 'til the mod is released" very serious.

I see I shouldn't have cut it out...

I asked him this:

Quote:

"Are you going to release information related to the songs and the songs themselves of the Xen chapters when the mod is released?
They don't appear on the list that you have made on your site, so I'm curious.

I came to this question, because of the way the developers of the mod are acting with everything
related to Xen. And you are part of that team. Some people on forums believe that there won't be any songs for Xen."

I thought that he releases the Xen songs when the mod is released, cause the devs won't reveal anything related to Xen until the mod's release.

He then replied and said that there will be Xen music. That's all.

Xen will be featured in the mod.

Makes sense, thanks.

What makes you think that? Did devs said that to you? From all facts we've got it's pretty safe to assume that there might not be Xen levels at all. You probably know about it, but you're in denial.

Well, it is called Black Mesa, not Black Mesa and also Xen.

**Gregorovich!** · 13-04-12, 20:59

I think there definitely will be Xen levels, but they've probably been interpreted differently than in the original. Personally I didn't like the Xen levels of the original game that much, and would rather a similar thing happened as in Oppossing Force - ie. the Nihilanth comes through a gigantic portal in the Lambda complex and turns the place into a Xen base.
