This was definitely a rush even after all this time, but remember, this is essentially the first time in over 10 years I went all the way through. In fact, I even jumped on top of the tram! I definitely jumped over the rails and even onto the two ledges either side of the main entrance. I can’t believe it would have caused too many issues to do it.
I was a little disappointed that the ground is just black and felt that this area should have been properly lit and visible. One cool aspect I forgot as how we went into a tunnel that seemed more like a mine area and just like the Hazard Course, the number of textures and lighting style was great than they may have first appeared. I am sure the more observant amongst you will know, but do we ever get to visit any of the places we see when riding the tram? I almost was expecting a gameplay mechanic where the player could knock on a door to get somebody to open it.Īs I was listening to the announcement I wondered why nobody had made a mod called “Beyond Sector C”, which is redolent of things just beyond your grasp or one called “The Central Transit Hub”, which would be a great place to start a mod. Valve wanted to tease the hell out of me and they did a great job.Īs the main description says, the facility is not in the best of condition and there are at least two times when people knock on doors. I’m pretty sure I was frustrated that I couldn’t stop and stare for a while, but that was the point. Like most, I ran around the tram trying to get the best view of everything.
Before playing HL, the only other game I had completed was Unreal and the beginning of that was pretty good too. The woman’s voice and the setting had me hocked even before the first level load. It’s quite possible that this was my very first introduction to the game as I don’t remember if I played the Hazard Course first or not. I do remember being absolutely amazed by the whole thing. Since my PC is so slow I decoded the time I took to leave the game, search and come back just wasn’t worth it. My initial reaction was that it was faster than I remember, so fast in fact, I paused it and considered looking for a console command to slow it down.
I’ve started Black Mesa Inbound a few times since I first played Half-Life, just to get some screenshots, but this is the first time I “played” it all the way through.
