First of all, I would like to thank all the people who helped make this mod even better than I ever imagined it would be, because it IS much better. When I started working on this back in 2018, I had much ambitions and hope for it, but I did not expect it would grow this much since then. Initially meant to be a simple mappack, it now has everything I could hope a serious mod would have, very amazing music and voice acting, cinematic scenes, suprising gameplay elements and more!
Remember, that this is not the final version and still much can be done to make this mod better. But this update cements something that I wanted for a long time. Proper scenes with proper dialogues and better looking maps. People complained that my maps are not on professional level for a long while, and I understood it completely. Make no mistake, they are nowhere near as perfect as they could be, but when I started working on this, I was learning mapping from the get-go. So you may notice that they are still looking amateur in many spots, in true, but for now at least I can show off with beautiful outdoor expansions:
This map for example, it looked like this years ago and it was one of the better ones then!:
And this is the current one with updated graphics for 2024 version:
The biggest flaw of the mod was obviously interiors and rooms being too big and just simple cubes. From update to update I improved them as much as I could. And so I did the same with 2024 version, here is an example of one of the rooms from chapter 2:
And this is exactly the same location but back from 2019 version:
So the complaints were totally reasonable and much work had to be made on improving them further. Chapter 7 is still incomplete and can't be fully finished and the mod ends in the cliffhanger again but I was wondering what would make more sense, complete chapter 7 and focus on this, or put all the effort to make the already long modification look as best as it could. I chose the second option and I don't regret this. Now with these improvements I can freely complete chapter 7 and 8 for the future update and I have plenty of ideas but I don't want to spoil anything. So enjoy the mod at it's current state and I hope you will have fun playing it!

This update introduces fully captioned scenes. Skylord_noltok provided voice acting on a very professional level. In english for now, translations will be added later on. New soundtrack, new voice actor and choreographed sequences for Marines are a game changer for these scenes.
Thank you for reading!

Today new Black Mesa: Military version was released. It contains multiple improvements over last version, fixes to fully work with updated Black Mesa...

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce that the very first version of my modification for Black Mesa is complete and released! It took me a while to make...
Hello everyone, I'm hecumarine and today I would like to introduce you all to my new modification called Black Mesa: Military.
2024 version with 7 playable chapters and additional content.
*******OUTDATED VERSION******* The first version of my mod is released. It covers the first three chapters of the upcoming full release. The following...
damn, the mod itself is already a good plus, the main character has his own signature melee weapon and I think that when the mod is fully completed, he will be worthy to come out as a separate game or an addition to the original black mesa
Thanks for the kind words!
Hello, the mod is cool, especially after the update. Chapters 1,2,3,4 were completely updated, and chapters 5,6 and 7 were almost not updated, there are also bugs, sometimes the animations of soldiers may lag, also at the very beginning there is a white glow in the osprey helicopter at the end of the helicopter, you can change it to the tail of the helicopter. Also, there are helicopters flying at the entrance where the commander stands, and earlier osprey flew up to us at the end, please add it too. Developers, please finalize chapters 5,6 and 7 and I hope that you will release high-quality chapters 8 and 9, also add new staff of engineers and new scientists, also finalize black ops, well done, good job!!💓👍
You must have installed it wrong then, it's working for me and other people too.
Installed it on two different PCs and the dialogue is silent on both of them. Verified the integrity of the game files and everything.
All of the dialogue is not working for me and the NPCs mouths arent even moving, but the captions are showing up. All the other custom sounds are working so im not sure what is wrong.
Amazing
Are you guys still looking for some VA help? I am looking to get in the space and I've got a good mic and a decent voice! I understand if not, but let me know!
The mod already has voice actor and he recorded almost all voice lines needed for the mod a while ago. So unfortunately, right now, we are looking for people in other compartments, mainly for someone who can make weapon models and such, sorry.
Thanks for the comment back! Nice to see some mod devs on here staying a lil active :D
