Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

I already own it and it's fantastic what they're done with an old classic. I just wish they would finish Xen already so they can release the whole game, i've been holding off another playthrough with the steam version until such time.

 

The multiplayer is pretty fun as well, also something cool I heard for those interested in the HL universe is that other companies are actually giving a Black Mesa treatment to Opposing Force and Blue Force.

I played this thing a few years ago when it game out as a HL2 (source engine) mod for free. It was the way for me to play through HL1 as I never played it back in the day. So this version is that with multiplayer? Or am I misunderstanding something?

It has the multiplayer part (and the steam workshop too with a bunch of single and multi maps).

I'm considering buying this. I played the very first release (don't recall how many years ago it was) and I found that while the initial levels were spectacular, the latter levels felt rushed and inconsistent in quality. If there's been significant refinement to those latter levels since that initial release, I'd be more inclined to buy it since I was kind of left with a bad aftertaste.

@Lowenz regarding the "there are 3 years of development/refinement" - is there a comparison somewhere because all I can see on the steam page is -

 

"How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

 

The conclusion of the single player campaign, with the addition of the Xen chapters
Final polish on the Earth-based chapters of the single player campaign
More multiplayer maps
More multiplayer gameplay modes"

Early Access version is the TODAY version.

 

You can obviously download the 2012 HL2 mod version and play it :D

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
