Also this is a pretty awesome montage. The tank kills on the jets are sick:

I am super impressed with this game so far. You can really tell they were working on this for years, as the amount of polish is insane. I feel like I am playing a professional remake of Half-Life that I would have paid money to play.

I also like how they mixed it up a bit and redid a lot of the areas. The additional offices at the beginning and such make Black Mesa feel like a real place rather then a bunch of empty corridors.

Its also cool how they mixed up the combat. For example, in the beginning of the game when you don’t have any weapons you can light enemies on fire with flares. The weapons also behave a bit differently (like iron sights on the magnum). It makes the game feel fresh while still giving me a massive dose of nostalgia (I have played the original Half-Life at least a dozen times).

I am currently half way done with the chapter “We’ve Got Hostiles”, and I cant wait until I make it to the Blast Pit.

Honestly guys, if you are not playing this you are missing out.

I suggest everyone download the game using the torrent. There are over 30,000 active seeders on there making it an extremely fast download.

Cool idea Vito. Going to sticky this post until the 15th.

Natural Selection 2 is a pretty awesome game.

Release Notes for 9/14/2012

[ GAME ]
– Added third-person gunshot flinch reaction animations for all players
– Molotovs and incendiary grenades now explode in mid air if they haven’t touched the ground after a small amount of time has passed
– Molotovs and incendiary grenades now no longer throw shorter than the other grenade types
– Fixed grenades bouncing really high if you threw them straight at the ground
– Fixed grenades that don’t have a timer (like the smoke) not detonating if they found a spot to continually bounce and not touch what was considered “the ground”
– Fixed a bug in bullet penetration where a bullet would penetrate walls much thicker than intended when the first brush the bullet hit was a detail brush.
– Fixed a rare case when server reservation would not load correct map on official servers
– Flipped MP7 viewmodel fire selector from safety to full-auto

[ UI ]
– Fixed spectator glows not updating state often enough which could allow glows to show at the wrong time
– Fixed player target ID names not showing properly in some cases when observing/spectating
– Fixed the spectator UI showing in Arms Race
– Fixed player not auto observing their killer after the death camera if no bot was available to take over
– Fixed round in spectator screen not updating if you connected mid round
– If all players on a team share the same team tag, the scoreboard and spectator team names will display the players’ team name (steam group name)
– Improved rendering performance of text UI elements

[ COMMUNITY ]
– Added default loading screen for direct connects and custom maps that shows loading progress
– Fixed server console say command to deliver text to all connected clients
– sv_password can now be set on community dedicated servers when they have no players connected and will be enforced.
– Matchmaking: blocking relationships do not prevent direct server joins, they only filter during matchmaking
– sv_pure: VPK files contain the necessary hashes so the dedicated servers do not need to compute them at startup but can be checked with the command “sv_pure_checkvpk”

I am really enjoying this expansion. These huge maps are the perfect size for 60 players and a ton of vehicles.

I am also really enjoying the new vehicles. Here is a short guide for using the rocket artillery.
