--Things To know And Features--

-Include map source file (vmfs)
--Extra Informations--
-There is no new weapons for the simple reason that modders cant access the bm source code. But a surprise is present in the second map anyway.
-Since there was no race x even in the original chapter well no need to explain why they are not in my mod neither.
-I am aware that the Gordon animations are not perfect, but I did my best with what I had, here again since we can't have new NPCs I had to do it the hard way with a prop_dynamic and couple other tricks. But I think I can try something in a very small update.
-I am also announcing a remake for my own version of crush depth, expect the same treatment as this mod, more maps, rethought level design, and more. For the time I work on crush depth remake, vicarious reality will be paused (Not cancelled just paused)
-Also the older version of this mod, stay on the workshop in case people would like to play the short version for some reason. Here is the old version : Steamcommunity.com
As you can see there is new features in this version.

Black Mesa: Hard Course Singleplayer multi-mode
Oh wait , Black Mesa is going to be a paid game ?
As far as I know its not even complete with the Xen parts.
I thought it was finished years ago
Play it , you never reach Xen , it ends before you get teleported there.
Well, it is early access, and will be updated in the future with Xen for free as long as you got the retail version.
There are still perks for buying it now like the new models, and of course the new and amazing multiplayer everyone has been hyped for.
But the free version won't be as advance and as cool looking as the retail and to my knowledge the free version won't EVER include Xen unless Black Mesa devs are nice enough to still let part of the game be free.
I would still but it if I were you, the devs deserve the money. They gave us more then half the game already for free and they want it for cheap, but you can buy it or not your choice.
That's why it's still free I think.
Is there a changelog somewhere that notes the differences between the mod and the retail edition? Just curious
No, but I can tell you some of the differences.
+New weapon models
+New models
+New voice actors, including the narrator from "The Stanley Parable"
+New textures.
+Multiplayer which looks pretty cool.
+The game will be updated without re-buying it, so if you buy it now the game will eventually update with Xen at no cost which you should know.
There is more but I can't remember all of it, so ye if you buy it enjoy.
Black Mesa has been released on Steam! :D
Hey just started a Let's Play on this game if anyone is interested
Congrats on your Steam Early-Access release
All aboard the hype train!
