@fran co I can't imagine fighting gonarch while listening to jungle music and being like: Hell yeah this beat is so good.

Black Mesa did a better job on the music.

@Ultimis you can just extract the vpk using gcfscape and delete the credits music from the created folder

to be honest. it sounds more pleasant to the ears in the gonarch fight. and the conveyor ride, the starting world track and the dimensionless track sound nice to the ears aswell. its nice to take a break from all the AOWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AUH.

@KelpTheGreat to re-experience the game in a different way. It's actually intended to be used with other HL1-themed mods, otherwise it would be kinda pointless.

I love the Black Mesa OST, I don't know why anyone would want to replace it. If this added additional music then I'd be interested, but I don't want to outright replace the music that's intended to be in the game.

In '99, Kelly Bailey released this, Xen, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Triage at Dawn", a song so sad, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics.

eh if you only released it couple weeks earlier, i just beat the whole game and i got a bit of a whiplash from having the original ost in pre xen levels and then returning to the very generic black mesa ost

Half life is an action game and a lot of people try and say it's a horror game when it's obiviously not. But shocking and fear-inducing elements are essential to providing emotion and making you feel invested. Half-Life 2 wouldn't feel the same if I hadn't gone through Ravenholm and realized just what I was fighting for.

I actually thought half life 1 brilliantly nailed the horror/action vibe with it's soundtrack. Something that is almost no longer present in black mesa. Even one of the action oriented soundtracks "Diabolical Adrenalin Guitar" carry's over half life's horror theme brilliantly in a narrative/action oriented way.

This is actually my first time hearing a lot of Chris Jensen's music for Valve. It's a shame it's so comparatively unavailable or uncommonly referenced than that of Kelly Bailey's work, as it's really a treat by itself and fits in so well with Black Mesa's Xen (And I speak as somebody who loves Black Mesa's music, both Terra & Xen), especially with your implementation (Just going off of the video when saying this, though). I can only be thankful that tracking down archives of the SoundCloud "album" 'Mishaps In The Reactor Chamber' wasn't difficult.

Sorry, back on topic. How's the mod? Going off the video alone, it's great!
