I agree. And stop with the comments like "Black Mesa got pwned". I'm beginning to think the number one priority of these developers is to compete with the Black Mesa team. "Look, I can make mine with 3 million more polygons than you!". On that note, this grunt doesn't look nearly as realistic as Black Mesa's.

Current windows aren't a model. =>

I know what you're talking about though, I can modify them to look more industrial.

Nope, Black Mesa is not affiliated with the other two mods. They started quite a bit later than this.

Just curious, why do they look misplaced? If you look on the front (or back) of any industrial building you'll see inset windows. In my actual level, you can't see through the windows, and the indoor level is nowhere near the windows, so it is true to the original in the sense that no light from an outside source is cast into the facility itself. I also felt that it was a necessary detail and taking it away would make it look a bit uninteresting.

About the metal silo:

I've taken that out because the original puzzle made absolutely no sense, and would have resulted in water flooding the facility which somehow didn't happen. I have another puzzle planned for this area.

Hey ZitaX. Why don't you learn some proper grammar and spelling before trying to throw another silly insult at me. If you truly believe that this mod has taken no influence from Black Mesa Source, you are naive. I think that the only reason you are siding with this mod is because they are guilty of the exact same thing that your team is guilty of, which is blatantly stealing designs. Arguing that "it is the same facility" does not justify the ripping off well thought out work.

TiB0: What movies and games, pray tell, does Black Mesa Source get it's designs from? Please enlighten me, as I have never seen anything like that outside of the internet. If it's true that Black Mesa Source's architectural styling is taken from a movie, then wouldn't that mean that this mod has copied that movie as well? That sounds pretty damn stupid to me, for two mods based off of a fictional research facility to be modeled after a movie. Wouldn't that completely defeat the purpose of being Black Mesa, and having it's own original look and feel that is designed specifically how you envisioned it?

You are only backing them up because you're guilty of the same thing.

I believe this is what Rapishorrid is talking about.

It's Bobby Hill!

Public release. :)

Wow, it amazes me how much the first screen in no way resembles Lambda Core from Black Mesa Source! /sarcasm

To be honest the game has hardly any lag at all. Even when three tanks are on screen at once. ;)

Check out the new Iron Grip trailer! :)

Yes, this is Abe. :)

I've had this nick for years, even though I don't use it on any other sites anymore. I got it while doing stick figure animations in macromedia flash back in the day. :)

How do you like the Iron Grip ingame images? Thats actually my map, however Vince told me he didn't have any shots of my map yet, that liar. :P

By the way, isn't Stuffie on Hammy Bob? He's on our team for Iron Grip as well, and he's one hell of an animator. :)

You should probably release this for Source.

Hammy-Bob mod is the best mod ever created.

I'm a level designer, however I also did a lot of prop modeling earlier on, and I made a couple textures.

Thanks, that inspires me to work harder. :)

Hey, its nice to see someone liking our work. :) Those guys over at Halflife2.net bashed us last media release.

If I could do anything to help you get on the beta testing team I'd be all for it; You seem to be pretty interested in the mod and professional about it. I'll talk to Vince about this, although I'm not sure if we're hiring beta testers or leaving the testing to Fyght Club.

Well, I think Iron Grip is a lot of fun at least. It techically can't be the best RTS since it's only half-RTS, hah.

In case you haven't guessed, I'm on their dev team. :P (Although I go by the nick MutantBeef)

Iron Grip is the best RTS ever, nub. :D

Beautiful lighting. :)

Really seems to have feeling.

If you guys decide to go through with this I will worship each and every one of you.

I mod because I enjoy it, but I am also trying to score a job in the game production industry. Showing software companies that you have helped in the development of a successful game gives you a proud feeling, at the same time giving you a better chance of getting a job that you like.

Thats a hard one. Oblivion certainly is kicking ***. :D

I'm having so much damn fun with the sidequests. Oblivion itself is also amazing detail-wise, but it also seems to be a bit disturbing (in a good way). :)

Half - Life had unscripted NPC conversations. They'd say stuff like "Why do we all have to where these ridiculous ties?" The second would say, "I don't know." :P

I really like how you guys are drifting away from the basic BF2 style. The screenshots look very original with the custom content.

In fact, they don't remind me of BF2 one bit. :)

Hey BlueWolf. Heard you interested in the possibility of bringing Iron Grip on air. :)

I'm a level designer for the mod, a.k.a MutantBeef.

Yes, if that is the name you wish to call him. Ronius is his real name.
