Also don't take my comments the wrong way I love this mod just annoyed at was up until this point a 10/10 everything.

Part 2

Honestly the hole factory area can be scraped since it don't make sense from a story point of view anyway. Were supposed to be running away from Black mesa not one man army against all of the nihilanths forces in a kevlar vest???

I thought Gordan freeman was a badass but he and that hev suit has nothing on Barney's plot armor by the end of blue shift.

Oh yea one last thing the fact you made the mark 3 suit that looks like master chief's amour and we can't take it to Xen is a crime against half life. Would of helped also explain how barney can stand in the equivalent of a nuclear reactor and somehow still be alive ^^

Comment was too long so part 1 of 2

The first half of focal point is really good tho It starts going down hill when you get to the crane/teleporter part with the computers. The aircraft scene is amazing but you readded the factory levels from the base game but somehow made them even more annoying.

Also don't get me started on that generator ending boss fight that is just strait up terrible. I have no idea who looked at that annoying elevator part at main game Xen and decided to make it 2.0 that's even worse :/

Even before the elevator section got needed touch up least it still had infinite health/ammo and not limited health/ammo with infinitely spawning enemies.

Спасибо огромное, у Вас замечательно получился ремейк)))

Back to review this: so I decided to replay the entirety of black mesa and start blue shift again from chapter 1.
I must say that BS is definitely WAY more detailed, but not too much where it hurts your brain. Captive Freight is where BS peaks imo. I saw that many people didn't really like Focal Point so I will say my opinion:
Overall it was great, although I had to noclip my way through 1 puzzle (the one with the purple flowers) since I didn't know how to solve it. The other part was at the end where you have to walk around these pipes that have green energy pumping on them-- I wasn't a huge fan of it but it was alright.
Perhaps it had a bit too many Controllers towards the end but no real complaint from me here.
It was LONG and honestly it almost never felt boring and/or tedious.
Focal Point rating: 8.5/10
Fatal Freight: 9.5/10
Overall rating of the mod: 9/10
Incredible job to everyone working on this.

Wait a few minutes, it will open. For some reason this release takes a while to start on some PCs

mod won't launch. it keeps force minimize

having played Black Mesa and then this back to back, i have to say both are are really good even if I'm starting to feel a bit of fatigue from it all. i did cheat at the end of focal point because i was sick of the floaty guys, though. Zen is a drag even when it's good, cant wait for the conclusion of blue shift.

Когда будет black mesa: opposing force????

Crashes a lot, but good mod.

I'm not even finished whats currently available yet. But this is an absolute victory in both modding and gameplay design. Bravo, seriously, every situation and character has a feel and is dynamic and interesting, your story telling and level designs are spot on. Seriously, This feels amazing to play. Cannot gush enough, I'm loving it.

Thank you so much for making this amazing game extremly enjoyable again! The level and character design is that good, that I can really dive into this extraordinary experience and fade out everything around me when playing. It is so immersive like no other game I played recently.

I only play a handful of games by now, and Black Mesa: Blue Shift is definitely one of them 🤩

play the game in low graphics, and stop crying

amazing work, I was super hype to play but the walking speed was a complete deal breaker for me, uninstalled

5 глава имеет кучу проблем на уровне геймдизайна и повествования. На 30 минутную (максимум) главу при обычном прохождении тратиться около 4 часов, при этом основная часть геймплея тратится на пострелушки с булсквидами и дисбалансному прохождению через мобов, а учитывая неочевидные подходы к прохождению, это занимает ещё больше времени. Предфинальный и финальный бои абсолютно не несбалансированы. Вы либо очень сильно увлеклись строя 5 главу, либо вам не хватило тестировщиков. Иначе я не понимаю, как такое могло получиться.

probably one of the best mods so far on the workshop, great jog guys, hope you all have a good day or night depending o when you are reading this. :)

I like Blue Shift's Xen better than the original Xen. It's a shame that Valve isn't paying you guys to remake these old games. You could easily sell this for $50.

cannot believe I got blue balled by the hecu

besides the game crashing when loading a few maps and running out of texture memory, I am amazed at what the team was able to give us for the Xen levels.

i am still trying to process everything that has happened + a migraine but you did an amazing job with Focal Point.

HECU Collective you're making black mesa opposing force and black mesa decay

are they making final chapters, is there any ETA ? sorry cant find it, i wish it would be as a sticky post

nananana GUAPISIMO EL MOD

Takes forever to load and constantly crashes to desktop, running out of memory. Have not made it past the train, yet.

My game got stuck and I cant cant progress, at end of chapter 4, none is reaction to me female doctor is frozen on place and none is opening the gate, I reloaded check point, restarted game and nothink helped

хороший мод

are there any announcements of potentially adding the option to launch the executable through black mesa itself? I believe there is a workshop campaigns section, but I could be mistaken.

Adding feet to a drawn snake.

Remake of Barney Beerhun))))

its not even showing up in my files at all :(

This mod have a subtitles in spanish?

Ran into a soft lock on Captive Freight: some sort of dialogue is refusing to start up and thus the Ronnie character is not unlocking the door to the Silo 7 Pit. either that or it is extremely unclear what to do to progress the mission

The train yard part in chapter 4 is NOT FUN!! Large open area with enemy shooting from 2 football yard is no fun. Puzzle is very confusing with little visual guide.

I don't understand why isn't Blue Shift attached to Black Mesa Program. You should click Subscribe and that's it its done, you don't need to go inside your program files and resetting it every time you run it again. Or it should be under Half Life MODS on search bar on Steam.

id play this mod but my pc is so dog it cant even run it

me gusta mucho el trabajo que hicieron.. pero muy agobiante no podes mover una caja que ya te aparecen enemigos. parece que se olvidaron que encarnamos a barney y no a gordom. muy des balanceada la cantidad de enemigos. eso si visualmente xen se ve increíble

Очень-очень затянуто и скучно. В оригинал играл после мода, и это весёлый и быстрый шутер, а тут сильно ощущается, что геймплей искусственно растянут. В последней главе в Зене просто тупой спавн врагов летающих, как в каком-нибудь Крутом Сэме, также много отсебятины неинтересной. Чем ближе к концу, тем больше разочарование.

sure

Use the oldui launcher that doesnt say unstable. There is nothing we can do to address the newui crashes as we have mitigated them the best we can already.

For some reason all the launchers says that they are "unstable" and due to this it makes the game really difficult to play without raging because the game always endlessly crashes after maybe 20-25 minutes or if I mess with stuff in the pause menu. Could someone on the team please address this?

@jmr, me too. I'm no longer part of the Black Mesa Modding Community because I don't like how that Valve is the exact opposite from ID Software regarding engine licensing. Plus BMCE: Revised for Blue Shift can't be fixed due to an issue with recompiling the models, thus ruining the consistency

focal point is good but im never playing it again

@Cyn yeah there's a whole installation guide literally on this workshop page

it wont appear in the mod workshop campaigns, am i supposed to do something? [by messing around with files]

very hard to download i wasnt able to put the "- bshift" text into properties because i got an error that i forgot what it said

The content of the mod is sick

My anti-viirus took this down once i downloaded it to the desktop..said it identified some kind of: IDF.Generic Virus or Whatever was that.

What are the chances of a Black Mesa: Decay?

This needs to be a separate mod store page like Enderal is to Skyrim. You can even include achievements!

Right click it and select Run as Administrator

Clicking on the bshift_gamelink does nothing
