He can call me Shirley (and not be joking) and it wouldn't change anything.

Surely, you can't be serious.

Heya Shirley! How's that Gaming Discussion going?

Lookin' good, Bruce.

You know, I've never liked Steam's way of distribution and I don't use it myself, but I acknowledge that it works, and the BMS videos I'm seeing are just gorgeous. I don't play HL, but I've watched several videos, and I am very, very impressed with what BMS has to offer.

Kudos to that lot if they get BMS onto Greenlight.

Black Mesa just twittered: They got Greenlit: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=94128543

They finally made it! Congrats to the Devs. I think its the first game to get Greenlit.

e: wait, it IS the first game to be Greenlit!

so, for someone who has never played half life, would you say this is a good way to start? or does it need to be the original HL?

The original HL is deeply unlikely to impress you today, or even ten years ago, so you'd probably be better off starting here regardless of how true to the original it is.

Nostalgia is a big factor. Just go with BMS

I was fine with first playing the original now, but yeah, this might be the better option for most people.

It's hard to tell right now without any of us having actually played BMS yet

Hmm you could try playing HL now before BMS releases (and even when its downloading) and then play BMS after that. I think BMS has a bit different layouts and such so it should keep you interested.

So it's an HL2 mod? That i pay for?

Still free, it'll just be like Minerva: Metastasis, in that you can download it officially through steam

Nope and nope. It's a free game based on the source engine (requires only the free Source SDK, IIRC), much like how Diaspora is based on FSO but doesn't require you to buy FS2.

EDIT: ninja'd

Androgeos Exeunt · **Reply #117 on:** September 12, 2012, 10:05:52 am

So BMS doesn't require a copy of the original Half-Life to work?

MatthTheGeek · **Reply #118 on:** September 12, 2012, 10:07:03 am

Why would it.

SpardaSon21 · **Reply #119 on:** September 12, 2012, 10:45:23 am

No. Black Mesa Source only requires the Source SDK Base 2007, which is a free download for anyone with a Steam account.
