It doesn't get any better than this! The definitive version of Quake 2, along with all of the original expansions and extra material!

The new expansions however, "Call of the Machine", is underwhelming... Especially the final encounter. I don't know why but many of the individual map developers seemingly insisted on not using most of the game's enemy roster or weapons. This in turn causes otherwise gorgeously designed arena maps packed to the brim with low to mid-tier enemies to be a huge let down, as you don't get any of the more fun weapons to use for crowd control. Whoever thought that it would be "fun" to wipe out hordes of mutants with just a super shotgun obviously never had the thought that it would be little more than a tedious slog that bogs down the flow.

Great free-to-play game, reminds me of old Carmageddon and Twisted Metal, but definitely needs more content (kustomizashun is bit weak at the moment.)

Had to rewrite the entire review because the mod has gone through a lot of changes since I last played it. There are tons of new things added to the game, all which feel perfectly at home in Half-Life. Most weapons now have alternative firemodes and other nice details that just add to the entire experience. There are even a couple of "new" weapons added to complement the existing roster. All of the characters and models have been given minor but significant updates to bring quality and variety, and Black Mesa itself feels a lot more atmospheric now due to new environmental details. As much as I love the original, I feel that this is the definitive way of playing the game now. The team behind Half-Life: MMod have outdone themselves and will undoubtedly provide more content with further updates. Here's hoping for Opposing Force and Blue Shift MMods!

A lot of time, care and love went into this game. Been following Black Mesa's progress since it was announced as a free-to-play modification. It is by no means perfect, but for a guy who's been playing the original that Black Mesa was based on for over twenty years; it's really damn good. And if something does bother you about the game, whether technical or aesthetical, there's always the workshop.

Half-Life: Restored is a pretty good example of a mod that aims to restore some of the content that was cut from the retail version. Unfortunately, it is not without it's flaws.

The big elephant in the room is the strange bug that messes with the audio. Many times during the playthrough I had Barney's voice pitch up at random, making him sound like either a muppet or as if he had inhaled helium. Other times the audio just cuts off.

Textures and shadows were another problem; textures and decals seem to have double faces and it becomes really apparent very quickly. It looks awful. The shadows appear glitchy and overlap most of the time.

The biggest offender, however, is that the team decided to mess around with the amount of damage that weapons deal to enemies. Why do mod developers often insist of "fixing" something that does not really need any sort of fix? The shotgun in particular felt much more incoherent, as some times it only takes one shot to successfully down an enemy while other times it takes several shots point-blank. Please, do not mess too much with the damage output on weapons; most people who still play Half-Life have been doing so for decades and they will know the difference.

Overall a good mod.

Unmitigated demon murder. Gotta kill fast.
