IT'S GREAT. WAITING YOU TO MAKE OPFOR GUYS. I don't like operation black mesa's status and models. Black Mesa models and environment is a canon for me now.
Same here.

What a joy. Masterpiece. Thank you.
People like to argue as to if Black Mesa is the best way to play Half-Life 1, but I don't think anyone will argue about BM: Blue Shift. This is leaps and bounds better than original. Thank you so much for this remake.
I 100% agree ;) It's a masterpiece.
With the new level and many improvements the game plays even better than before, keep it up guys!
Головоломка с подъёмником слишком перемудрена. Калхун нормально прыгать в присяде не может, поэтому она была неочевидной.
Beautifully done, amazing job!
Two comments though:
There is a problem with the lighting, some areas are unreasonably dark, even when using a flashlight or when there's a light source nearby. This lighting problem appears also in your other excellent work Azure Sheep.
Also, in the level Duty Calls in the part where you can go in the water, the ladders don't work. you can climb only by jumping into them from a certain distance.
Thank you very much, it is amazing.

You guys hit the nail on the HEAD when it comes to how security officers talk and interact with each other. Not only that, you hit the nail once more with how well you scripted the interaction with staff towards security personnel. It's literally perfect. I applaud you for this; after doing security for 6 years, not something to be super proud of but something that truly allowed me to understand how well you guys scripted the interactions in this game. Furthermore, the amount of work put into everything else makes it that much better. I rarely comment and I never donate, but you guys 100% deserve it so I did both. Love the project and love you guys. Thank you for this.

It is really awesome to play! Love it! Especially since Half-Life Alyx was (besides the graphics) a disappointment for me, because it did not really introduce any new interesting story line.
Only small pain point so far: a difficult jump into a ventilation shaft that opens up because a head crab jumps out of it.
Can anybody help me? In my game, this cable is NOT lying around this room, so I only got 1 instead of 2 cables which are not sufficient to make to power go on: Youtu.be
See screenshot (with no cable): Paste.pics

Nothing happens when I attempt to launch bshift.bat. I moved the downloaded folder/files to the correct directory and when I open the .bat file, just nothing happens. I really want to play this! Any help?
Just need to wait 10-20 sec and then game will loading. Be some patient! :)
Lovely chapter as usual! I would reduce the running movement speed and focus on making this as creepy and horror-like as possible, I think the HL universe is missing a little bit of that (ALYX made a good job as well).
Other feedback, for me an HL veteran the puzzles were pretty good, but for some of the new guys, it might not be that obvious, especially the one in chapter 3 where you need to shoot that barrel behind the door to open.
The lift one I knew what to do so it was fine for me hehe, the one with the 3 boxes to make the grinder go Kaboom, needs some more directions, especially to go to that segment where we fight the 6 vortigounts later.
Overall 9/10 chapter, just needs some very minor tweaks and some more horror atmosphere.

I copied the "save" folder into the "bshift" folder. Trying to continue from chapter 1-2. Could it be that this does not work and I might have to start all over again? After loading "continue Game" all I get - after climbing up the ladder - is "to be continued"
Looks like nobody has time for help 😪
I just know half the stuff I did will be achievements

There was an error downloading the bshift_maps_000 vpk file and when I got through the first loading screen, the whole area had missing textures. I know you guys are releasing the new chapter 4 today so, if this is part of the download problem, then could you fix it? If it isn't the download and just my PC, could you help me with that?
You guys did a phenomenal job on this level. The pacing was near perfect, and for me, the detail work was the best I've seen from the Source engine in a long time. I literally spent hours tracing the pipework up to each section, and your mappers even put small electrical conduits into every wall console or outlet. Heck, someone actually saw fit to add a tiny bowl of quick dry cement with masonry tools in one of the corners of the sewer section as if one of the workers was tired of everything falling apart and had started taking matters into their own hands.
Each of these details made just wandering around taking in the sights part of the game experience and really sets this mod apart from so many others. I would even be so bold as to say that this worldspace looks like it belongs right alongside Black Mesa proper which is a testament to its quality. I really enjoyed the rest of the mod, but this level is so far my favorite.
I's December 10th and no Chapter 4 download can be found....only Chap 1-3. Do we have to wait for end of day or worse, tomorrow morning ??
