Black Mesa: HECU

Description

The aim of Black Mesa: HECU is to provide a completely new experience that fills in the narrative spaces left by the military during Black Mesa incident... very much how Opposing Force did in its heyday.

We're very excited to have everyone test our EARLY ACCESS first training chapter as we polish the following 3 chapters for full release. This will mostly serve as a performance test and to get our mod setup on the workshop for the coming releases.

We look forward to seeing everyone enlist and attain their H.E.C.U. certifications! Good luck out there, soldiers!

This current EARLY ACCESS build contains Chapter 0: Advanced Training.


Standard Installation instructions:

1. Navigate to your local variation of:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\362890\3372585826\

3. You can now launch the mod through your desktop, the .bat files within Black Mesa/ or through -game bmhecu in launch options

The chapter 0 is something, it does seem polished, but the way it feels, something feels off, but its still enjoyable, I have really high hopes for the following chapters, it may not be OF, but it seems that the devs know what they are doing, which is why the following chapters will most likely be absolute bangers

doesnt work, when i try to load the BAT file nothing happens, when i check launch options there isnt bmhecu when i check betas and the steam workshop nothing is there

Oh an military base shouldn't be THAT littered. We meet not one, but two drill instructors on site, and the whole place is a total mess.

Overall - good demo, but please consider removing excess detail (trash).

I can understand the radiation parts being done in concrete bunkers, but the platforming part can be, and should be, outside. IRL they don't have water below the obstacles in the army, they have mud, which is kinda worse.

Turret part in hangar was OK, it is a constructed environment. Although, I personally expected to have shooting targets pop up, but oh well, turrets it is.
Turret part in concrete pipes... Yeah, I think nobody had liked that part, but have the feeling it was a ball buster by design. 2/2

I'll write down some constructive criticism on level design. While it is kinda sorta makes sense and is fitting with Black Mesa style to have a whole hangar filled with water just to make a hazard course - it is unbelievably unrealistic. Not to mention the trucks and forklifts are drowned there! Nobody does that, army especially.

I was frustrated by the diving in a concrete pipe. What if recruit drowns there for some reason? How do you get them out? Better to make it a cloth/plastic pipe, so it is more easily accessible. Looks cooler too. 1/2

I hate turrets

- There's only 1 chapter (installed it following the instructions and even reinstalled it)

- First training room looked kinda just like cut out, flooded and edited room where Gordon had to fight with black ops ladies, also pipe is broken and it nocliped me outside itself.

- dialogues of MPs were really silent for some reason.

- It kinda looked like devs couldn't make turrets friendly so they made them as training targets.

I won't complaing, because I see that it was made by only 5 people so it's a wonder that it works.
I have high hopes for this mod and that it'll be full Black Mesa: Opposing force mod-extension like Blue Shift one day(Or there is more content here and I just screwed up instalation proccess somehow :| ...)

Worst tutorial I have ever seen. Excessively difficult and completely unrealistic. You're telling me climbing up a ladder just for a turret to shoot an explosive barrel in my face and kill me is part of basic training? Well shit, I'm surprised the HECU couldn't kill Gordon when they all apparently passed ts, or that any marines were left in the first place! The only difficult part of this game is the tutorial, which again, is a tutorial. It's more about basic movement and storytelling because you've probably already finished Black Mesa, likely played the half life games, so why have such a needlessly hard tutorial when you are already familiar with everything???
