Looks like the devs took notice of the crossbow scope: "The old scope style had to be removed because it used an RT camera, which had a negative effect on performance (forcing the scene to be rendered twice). It was also really, really buggy. We will look into potentially improving the new scope further." It is temporary, don't worry

@innoclarke7435

Good. I'm glad they're having another go at the scope. Last time I played Black Mesa, I ended up virtually never using the crossbow at all, for one because it tanked my already less-than-ideal framerate in some areas, and also because I seem to recall the mouse sensitivity when using the scope didn't change compared to normal aiming, so a small move of the mouse made it fly somewhere else entirely. It didn't help that it was zoomed in waaaaay too much. Just a fuckup of a sniper equivalent all 'round, to be honest.

Just depends on the method used in implementing it, I suppose. I think the Red Orchestra/Rising Storm games work the same way, and they too have better performance. Though the Insurgency comparison is more apt due to it also being on the Source engine. I don't really mind the feature going. It doesn't really add anything to Black Mesa like it does in something like Rising Storm or Insurgency.

i wouldn't mind the glowing vortigaunt eye if it was toned down. it's WAY too fucking bright no matter what your opinion is. also, nothing about the crossbow scope's change was for realism. here's what the update notes say: "New Crossbow Scope - Crossbow scope no longer uses an in game camera to zoom in. This makes the scope easier to aim and increases performance by removing a second rendering pass. It also fixes a number of visual bugs with using the scope throughout the game." tl;dr: the change was a performance/intuitiveness pass, not a realism one. the zoom is way too fucking low though, and the default reticle is absolutely disgusting (in a bad way).

It's a small thing, but ever since I noticed that the B&W monitor in the test chamber showed the goings on in the control room as seen from a security camera, and I noticed that scientist movement as seen directly and as seen through the monitor matched up, I've thought of that as one of the more impressive examples of attention to detail in the whole game.

I'm so glad they continue to make updates for this game!!!! All the Half-Life series are the best! I'm replaying the original Half-Life right now.

Nice video.

I knew the scope issue gets a lot of flak but I thought that is kinda bearable compared to the things that are plain broken - the spectrometer room camera zooms way too high and is all over the place, the rocket launch screen, the big screen that's supposed to show everything, shows nothing and is just a disappointment. As a side note, was quite miffed by the streetlamps and chainlink fences in the rocket launch area - that's just so illogical, like wouldn't that stuff simply melt on exhaust? Broke my immersion a little. When I saw the scope at the end, I realised that I would gladly sacrifice all the points I made before just so that flash-game google image with instant pop scope would get fixed

I can see they were going for something the likes of the scoped rifles in CSGO. Those are beautiful. With some tweaking they'll get there eventually, i'm sure

What have they done to the crossbow?

Is there a way to replay the old versions?

The suit is like a force filed, it will need constant charging to keep that force field up. However, when it has no power, the suit is useless and bullets can easily destroy the suit which doesn't give any protection to the user at all. It surprises me that Gordon isn't wearing a helmet in the first game. In real life, one shot to the head and Gordon's down.

when I played the new scope didn't had painted over it, it was simply like in HL2 zoom in

So they added some Lens Flares and Gloom Lighting standard to the Engine. Sure why not. This can all be added to the 2015 Edition via SweetFX or ReShade (Lens Flares, extra Lighting, Fx, etc), but if it's standard with the Engine with no performance impact, why not, for the people that don't know about SweetFX / ReShade.
