Does this version include "Surface Tension Uncut"

[MozzerV12]

I played the free mod when it was first made available a couple of years ago and I loved it. My only criticism was that a significant chunk was cut from the best chapter in the game - Surface Tension. Several maps worth of levels were cut from the original game. They did this with On a Rail too but to be fair that was probably one of the weaker levels and I didn't have a problem with them steamlining that chapter.

But Surface Tension is the most iconic Half Life chapter and really supports the narrative of the military getting beaten too hard by the alien forces that they have to pull out. I recently played through the mod again with the "Surface Tension Uncut" mod which I found on the official BM forums and felt that it DRASTICALLY improved the game as a whole. It restored some great missing levels and you really get to appreciate how badly the marines are getting destroyed by the alien menace especially in a FANTASTIC set piece where the aliens bombard an evacuating Osprey and squad of marines.

I am planning to support the development team of this amazing project by purchasing this when it is fully finished but it would be a serious shame if the additional Surface Tension content was not restored as well because as I said above it really completes the package and makes the best chapter in the game even better.

Can you elaborate?

on a rail was also awesome. I hope that they added these two "expansion packs" into steam version since they "hired" the guy who made them.

From the guy who made the Uncut stuff:
"OaR Uncut and ST Uncut will make their appearance on the workshop for the retail version shortly."

On a Rail Uncut and Surface Tension Uncut are not included in the Steam version of Black Mesa, but the Uncut maps will be added into Steam Workshop very soon.

I don't think you will need the animation revamp mod. There's been some improvements in weapon animations in the Steam version.

Ok that is great news!

Damn right. I am waiting at the end of Power Up for the Uncut to arrive. I have no intention to play those chapters short.

[RESIST AUTHORITY]

Waiting for this before I buy the game.

Is that because they don't wanna include the authors /s in any possible payments due ? just asking :)

I dont know if the updated OAR Uncut includes the "Loop Mod". Yes kids, there is ANOTHER piece of OAR missing at the beggining of the level, but the "loop mod" fixes that. Problem is if you install the loop mod first, I think OAR Uncut wont work. I'm confused...

For the love of Black Mesa, stop bumping ridiculously old threads please.
