(SPOILER ALERT)

Overall, this is a really nicely done mod for Black Mesa, it felt really cool to play as a H.E.C.U. rifleman sent to the Black Mesa facility to cleanup the mess. I tried to not kill friendly civilian NPCs. Although I'm only on chapter 6 at the moment, so far its been a great mod, and the music is amazing. It was also very nice to see Gordon Freeman himself on your screen, referancing certain moments in Black Mesa/Half-life.

Bugs spotted:

- Some chapter names don't appear on my screen.

- BO gibs are HECU gibs

- Sometimes my menu tears a tiny bit for under a second, even with vertical sync

- Sometimes the AI gets lost and I have to go back and move them so they can walk through doorways and past certain areas.

My suggestions:

- Make AI with animations, like the HECU medic sitting right before the vortigaunt battle, should be a bit more animated, like looking around and inspecting their weapon (like how in opposing force, your squad was waiting to arrive and was looking around with their weapon.). another example is the ride in the Osprey to Black Mesa, your squad is sitting there in place not moving.

- The rifle (m40 rifle) that you pick up from the dead BO sniper, should be more animated too, it feels sorta clunky how you take the mag out and put another in without moving your arm, Maybe mix some animations from different guns or so to make it seem more animated. Also please change the sound of the bolt, the shotgun pump doesn't seem so good. The Rifle looks a bit too polished and reflective, I don't know if its the lighting of the source engine that makes it like that or if its texture is like that, also please change up the sprite of the scope.

-Although the voice acting is great there are some words that sound a bit weird, I have a lot of knowledge about the marine corps and how they speak, the drill instructor in chapter 1 should be more aggressive when speaking, also the word grunts should be changed, it doesn't fit with the instructors lines. The drill instructor also said he will be controlling something with someone else, I'm not sure if drill instructors do that though.

- There should be a more worked out friendly fire system, in game there are certain HECU npcs you can kill with ease, and most of the time they will not fight back, in the area before the vortigaunt battle, if you shot only a few npcs would actually fire back at you. Right before we went on the cart to the boarded off area, the npc was speaking about my squad and some other stuff, I quicksaved and killed one of the HECU units, and nobody cared.

- In the area before the vortigaunt fight (again), I killed 2 units that were talking about freeman, and they kept talking even when dead on the ground. (in addition to last bug/suggestion). Make it so that when NPCs die, they stop talking.

I know I've listed a lot of bugs and suggestions, this is a great mod for black mesa, don't take this the wrong way if your looking to install this mod (I have to note, installing this mod is way easier than any other manual mod I've installed)

Good mod, 9.6/10!
