The printing press in the facility for the Mesa Times - the newspaper seen in Blue Shift.

The level where you get to recruit like 15 grunts at once is so much fun. Just having your army slowly grow as you progress through the level and after some point it becomes so large that you just destroy anything that appears. And all the instances where you lose your squad didn't feel cheap or stupid like they did in opposing force (losing your squad because the NPCs can't climb a ladder or shit like that).

yea exactly. I would love to see another hl1 mod replicate that feeling. maybe make the squad grow throughout the entire mod, not just sections (even if that section in FI was really long)

6:41 Otis talking to vortigaunt is probably reference to The Big Boned and The Curious mod currently demo we played as Otis side along with free vort companion In this mod HECU soldier (probably Stefan Oldfield) can be spotted behind the door

I LOVE the HL modding community. They make some amazing stuff!

Awesome a HECU based mod! Mod’s got some nice looking QoL stuff and features. Neat VA by Richter too. Kino/Ludo twist with the Kevin character. Seeing that clip of HDTF though…Wonder if you’ll be covering it in the future? 👀 Awesome video and editing as always! Keep up the great work 🫡

I agree that it's the best HL1 mod of all time to be honest, which was why when I saw they were looking for new voice acting I immediately hit them up haha. It's so awesome to be a part of the project and I'm really glad someone else enjoyed it as much as I did, and I'm glad you thought my performance was good too; I hadn't really done anything like that before.

You did a great job as a voice actor honestly. Even though it's still weird hearing the half life and sex guy somewhere that isn't a youtube video.

I was surprised how much this mod's map design is on par with Valve's and Gearbox's. Not better, not worse, but exactly on par. It feels like playing an official Half-Life expansion and I loved it for that.

I love that not only are people still playing Half-Life mods more than 20 years later, but people are still making them too! Thanks for the video, I'll definitely be checking this one out!

this mod got me through an emotional rollercoaster. From getting attached to Kevin to losing contact with him and then talking back to him but it was not the same as before to the cruel ending of finding him dead and finally the end where i will meet with him again...

Kevin part hit me like a truck.

What fascinates me about this mod is not only the storytelling but the desperation of the main character. He came through the ENTIRE RESONANCE CASCADE. Longer than Gordon, longer than Shephard. He survived that all and was desperate to get away. Sadly, he was a bit late, and the nuke probably killed him. Or not? Maybe G-man took him. Maybe Stefan is alive and will be used by G-man in the future? Regardless, this mod is incredible. Definitely one of the best Half-Life mods ever.

8:42 this reminds me of Gearbox thought of characters for the expansion, they see someone in an area that we don't know the fate of and then they just decide to make them the main character

Reference to spoilers ahead: I really liked this one! It's a nice little mod, there's a lot to be enjoyed here. However I did want to note something: I don't recall exactly where (I believe it's at the point where you're teleported to the Black Ops in that short sequence) but it's mentioned that Stefan receives a concussion, which is referenced further in the thoughts tab as he mentions hallucinations (such as the "hologram" of Kevin, which I'm guessing was supposed to be a ghostly apparition, which is a neat touch) and losing touch with reality (which I believe is stated right after the Xen research lab sequence, or during it, I can't recall which) Just a little note i thought I'd mention, lol, it's a surprising thing to see and I can't say I've seen in any other Half-Life mod. Can't wait to see your next video!

I'm actually really glad you did a video on this, This is my favorite half life mod of all time

This mod really set the bar of mods for me, nothing has matched it in my mind so far when it comes to HL1 mods.

I appreciate the mod developer team not making you too much a badass, but still completely capable. You get to kill a gargantua all by your lonesome, but at the same time you get dunked on by Barney's satchel charge. Really good work!

It was pretty damn great, was a bit weird hearing Richter voice act but he had a pretty good performance. Can't wait to see what else the team makes

It's crazy cool how they balanced out the gameplay and world building

I really like how this mod take any canon/oficial thing and put it here like the Black Mesa news paper of Blue Shift! that king of thing are incredibles details to consider!

10:04 "Now we begin a bigger and bigger squad" *Shows the next cut, with at least 8 members* My reaction was a "HOLY FUCK" cus well the mod being able to do that and the squad being a realistic number in most military's (5-8 soldiers)

I've wanted to see more love for this mod for AGES, great to see it's finally getting some more attention!

Thanks for showing me this. I will definitely play it now

8:32 , I know people say that this place is like a Start of 'Opposing Force' but to me. It kinda looks like those outside place in Azure Sheep, Idk it's me who notice it Or it could be something else. EDIT: also, there is another game (Mod i mean) and it's made by the same Mod team as this Mod (Field Intensity) and the Mod team who ported Decay to PC, called 'Half-Life: Induction 1.3' Which the maps and stuff are from Field Intensity, Decay and Half-Life.

The references actually do a good job to glue all of the games together

you deserve more subs this was a great video

The legend who made it even put Benry and Coolatta on those lockers

I can't believe you forgot to mention how they put the multiplayer stalkyard map into the game! /s The voice acting on this mod wasn't always that great though. It came out with TTS+RVC (text to speech fed into real voice cloning AI) voices for the scientist, and slavic-accented actors for the rest. But because it's such a great mod and the community is more connected than ever, people like Richter are willing to step in to improve those voices. Lastly, you can talk to a Marc Laidlaw character through the phones.

When you see the 2 protagonist of Decay for there first time there you are also a specific soldier like the other times that you see Barney or Adrian. Also at the video there are a zone that you said that is decay but it is oposing force jeje I really want to play this mod again!

God that evac scene fucking broke me. I managed to get 16 or 18 guys and kept them alive all the way to the landing zone, and even the two xen attacks after you get there and make your way to the top of the walls around the area... and then i went down to the sewers... Hearing the teleportation noises just as the ladder breaks and watching my squad go from 18 to 0 fucking broke me. I basically just sat there for a good 5 minutes processing what happened, and that moment has always stuck with me ever since the first time I played this mod.

This mod looks amazing and a good number of references too great! You know for a second I thought since the player wears a black beret and escapes via a truck it made me think it's the same soldier you see in opposing force who tells adrian to get out of there before dying in front of a crashed truck

I like how he said he was a cheap Pyrocynical clone and then made the title really close to Pyrocynical titles, especially "The Best [_________] You Never Played"

When the mod first launched, they didnt had the "KZreadr", voices but by someone Else. So Kevin had a different VA with a really strong slavic accent, It was funny.

Nice Tyler Speculation. Echoes has always been at the top for HL1 mods but Field Intensity is way up there in top 3-5. I would honestly say its more of an OP4 mod though given the arsenal and features. I really hope we get more mods like this aswell. Def gonna be recording a playthrough of this and do a review.

loved it! i hope they port it for sven coop

the whole kevin being dead was really cool to me cause it felt like finding out reznov was actually dead the whole time in the bo1 campaign

FI is certainly a very well done long campaign mod. But Half-Life is the game with probably the highest count of high quality longplayers and the rule for quality was set high pretty early on by Manke`s "Dark Star" mod. Over the years and decades many more were added by talented and skilled fans and personaly i simply cant say which one is the best. I just hope that HL1 modding continues. I never get bored playing these.

6:40 THATS A MOD a mod which is very cool You get to team up with a Vortigaunt

Try the mod that is on modb, called Report:Upgrade Edition. this is a collection of two mods Report One and the supplement Report Operation Alive. both are mods for half life 1.

I love the implementation of cut enemy’s just out of our reach, and the kingpin is a solid hl1 enemy, I kinda wish there where more encounters with them.

kannte ich noch nicht ... vielen Dank dafür ;) wird sofort ausprobiert^^ btw. sub

Played through this recently. Really awesome mod!

14:22 Holy s***, I had the exact same thought. That plot twist really reminded me of Pyrocynical's video on Cry of Fear, and moments later you make the same connection. Spooky.

You’re much more enjoyable than pyrocynical, your voice is actually bearable!!

If I'm not mistaken at the start of the truck cutscene where we are leaving after the fight, I think that first area of the cutscene is the end of HL Blue:Shift where Barney and the other scientics leave by using the teleporter.

8:08 Funfact: You can actually kill Barney, only to cost you a mission fail with a description saying that you attempted to create a temporal paradox.

I've never thought that room gman was in was the anomalous materials front desk in that scene and ive been a fan since 98.

8:24 i think this is the room where you saw Gordon in blue shift, so this may imply that the reason they didn't shoot Gordon before throwing him in the trash compactor is because gman intervined

Fun fact: The final part of field intensity when your going to get in the truck and the area that looks kinda like the entrance is the same area from the starting point of a half life mod called half life induction and that mod is showing what happened a week or so before the renaissance cascade

I played this on sven coop version where the enemies was more aggressive which makes the combat more intense than ever. Even still the kevin lore still hits me like a truck. RIP kevin.

Its great to see where your channel is going to and your not eminem anymore, Great!

I downloaded this mod and have a big technical complain to make: there is a terrible forced mouse acceleration that cannot be disabled, hud is quite large and fov is something I can't really explain, but seems to be zoomed in uncomfortably. Tried swapping config files but that didn't really change a thing. If you enable net_graph, you will see that it's font is also abnormally large. That is painful

Thanks for the recommandation. Btw, do you ever play the Residual series (Residual Life/Residual Point)? They are some gulty pleasure mods of mine. I will fully admit that it has many questionable design choices, and the further you play them the weirder it looks. But they both feels like fantastic journies despite all the flaws they have, and despite being around for more then a decade I seldom see anyone talk about them.

Second the Residual saga They're absurd but they're just so damn inventive. Residual Life especially when you get down to the lower Black Mesa area after the nukes. And yeah they're not talked about nearly enough. They're flawed but the ambition is so fun.

You forgot to mention that some of the areas are taken from half life dearhmatch, its cool that this mod sorta works them into the black mesa facility

Just finished it on hard difficulty. Along with HL: Echoes, this is really the best HL mod ever - feels like official HL expansion, great maps, great gameplay, not easy, decently long a fun to play. In my opinion, this is actually what Blue Shift should have been - it feels like Opposing Force 2. I really like this mod, it can be easily canon.

Can't wait to check it out

Sawing Kevin's dead body reminds me pure Spec Ops The Line storyline, where Konrad was already dead all the time and we was a soldier with schizophrenia.

This was a great one indeed. The post-opposing force sections blew me away. I still say EZ2 is the best mod of while franchise, but this one earned "best hl2 mod"

Definitely one of my favorite mods. You should review delta particles. That is the best hl1 mod hands down

That’s cool that Half Life decay is refrenced!

8:33 this is the bottom pit that you first see in opposing force

Bro thinks hes having a 5-6 hour mental horror experience in stockholm

Think you'll ever review the They Hunger mods? Those are what I tend to think of when I think of the best Half Life 1 mods. Probably also tells you how long it's been since I last played a Half Life mod, lol.
