Operation: Black Mesa is a total Source remake of Half Life: Opposing Force. Using the Source engine, the developers plan to recreate the Black Mesa research Facility as it was seen by Corporal Adrian Shephard of the H.E.C.U. Half-life: Opposing Force is still an amazing game, although it is not nearly as amazing as it was when it was released.

Description
Short rendered reel to showcase some character animations for our NPCs in Guard Duty and Operation Black Mesa.
Awesome work!
this is so awesome !!! ^^ great work guys ^^
Amazing, ******* amazing.
Nice!
Incredible. Don't forget to add the houndeye - eye blink animation though. :P It was always fun to watch.
Don't worry, it'll be there ;)
It's basically going to be a facial flex, not animated :p
I love the houndeye animations.
I don't usually get excited for mods or even video games that much anymore but your teams work is really amazing. Great job!
it's such a shame i only got to check the new content this late but i wanted to compliment you guys on everything you accomplished so far. the quality standards you're going for is just breathtaking and i hope to god you keep pushing it. on a small note, i think a more muscular physique and a more robust armor would fit better the alien grunt NPC. although one can easily see you worked hard on details and animations i can't help but to be reminded of an old madam on heels when i see him marching forward (lol). i guess a more agressive/intimidating pace would do him well too. anyhow, that's just my opinion, keep up the good work
riding along the whole "intimidating shape" subject. i remember having similar doubts while watching the shock trooper model in your old videos and even the voltigore in the new image also woke up this kind of feeling in me (at least when i compared him to the dimensions of the barrel in that same picture). i just think a more massive and imposing build adds a lot to the aliens but it might be a matter of personal taste
Cool stuff -- I like your AGrunt more than the Black Mesa one :)
-- I was just scouting around for any footage of the Shock Troops from Race X. Didn't see any, but I thought I'd post a suggestion here while it's on my mind.
I always found the eye-style for the Shock Troops and Pit Worm to be a little bit annoying. I much prefer to opaque eyes seen on most Xen-life, or the Gene Worm. At the risk of altering the Op Force creatures' original design, I think it would be worth experimenting with opaque eyes!
Just my two cents.
Look forward to this mod :)
Fantastic models, some feedback:
1- It would be pretty sweet if the houndeye had individually modeled eyes.
2- The agrunt's armor is supposed to be an exoskeleton, like a bug's shell, not actual armor fitted to the body. But if you are going to go with inorganic armor, purple isn't a fitting color, maybe go with something darker? Aside from that, it is really a fantastic model. The best Agrunt I have ever seen in any Source project.
