I asked them before about this, their answer was yes, you can switch the MP5 for M4 [and Glock for Beretta] in the Options.

There's always the Beretta M9 in the HD Pack.

Check the screenshot gallery: They have the MP5 and M4 available (can be toggled in the menu). Now we just need to see the Beretta (for those who want to replace the Glock).

Release date is mum.

*checks watch, crickets outside chirp*

I wonder what the Multiplayer maps will look like... I just want to go into the Park Map again and have fun shooting stuff from the roller coaster. Or those two maps that encourage us to go Spider-Man.

This project was already approved on the Steam Green Light, so that might mean something on the store front.

Quick media release question:

We've seen the MP5 and M4A1, and we've seen the Glock. Any chance we'll see the HD Pack pistol, the Beretta soon enough?

This will only be remade for just Half-Life 1/Black Mesa, correct?

I'm just wondering since Blue Shift used nearly the entire set, and would only need a handful of tweaks to accommodate it.

The engine utilized currently is Source 2013, so if you can at least run any game with that well, there shouldn't be a problem...

I found it very StarCraft 2-y, but eh, it still has that organic feel to it.

Kinda reminds me of NovaLogic's Armored Fist series. Man, how fun that was. (Particularly using STAFF rounds to blow out Hinds.)

One minor gripe, where's the 50-Cal from the topside gunner's seat?

Hopefully we can see the Shock Roach and Spore Launcher in action.

More like every few months. Real life as it is... *groan*

My guess is there's still a lot of maps and models to be integrated behind the scenes with strenuous in-house testing. Well, that, voice acting and the tactical AI system. Or am I wrong?

Ooh ooh! Will vending machines actually restore health in these remakes? I want my 1 HP sodas, for Pete's sake!

I didn't just mean graphical settings (such as specular, glow, normal, height maps), there may be some things in the Troubleshooting section which may have some OpenGL features that your GFX card may not play nice with (do NOT select the features that turn off shaders for models and GLSL support).

If you have to give some sort of information (like if there's something wrong with the events or model rendering), play FS2 with a debug build, and when the crash or problematic part happens, close the game, and send the devs the fs2_open.log file. They may be able to tell what's up.

If not, then try disabling certain graphical settings in the FSO Launcher.

Shame to say, but mostly nVidia cards are supported. AMD sets are supported, but not to the widest extent (it's a 3 of 4 chance you can play FS2 in 3.7+ builds). Intels are hit or miss and require more technical nuancing to have a chance.

Go to Tech Data -> Mission Simulations -> Single Missions to play the missions.

There's no full-blown campaign in this release.

Will there actually be a proper booth to give Gordon/Barney the weapons and not just have live firearms sitting on a table without a warning sign?

Nah, unless you're a psychic animal, I highly doubt anyone can take these "when will it be done" predictions.

Close Air Support, huh?

It'd be nice to see that Apache fire its chain gun for seconds on end, those rockets (not sure if they're HE or Submunition) and maybe the chance to portray the AGM-114 Hellfire accurately. Or maybe launch Stingers against a Manta Ray ship (the wingtips have hardpoints meant to mount those).

I wonder what would happen if we got to see a Longbow Apache (just put a radar dome hat on top) or an AH-1W SuperCobra assisting...

I just wanted to say good luck, we're all counting on you.

This is the second-to-last room of the Hazard Course (the training level) for Half-Life 1 and Blue Shift. The one where you have to get someone to open the last door for you.

Now we need the Armed Forces wallpaper, complete with Shephard, Tower, Barnes, an MP, and a Recruit...

Warehouse center, on the other side of the dam seen in "Surface Tension." Escape Pit Worm's Nest. Help friendlies get by Black Operators. Voltigore Tunnel. Place with a LOT of volatile explosives.

Ring any bells?

Too bad we won't get to see the interior of the cockpits for resource-related reasons, huh?

I would like to see the looks on the pilots' faces if they get shot down.

Ohh, this makes me want to try out Jane's Longbow! I heard that was an awesome helo sim back in the day.

Will we get to color them however we want like in HL1/OP4? I likes me a blue/purple HEV during MP sessions. :)

Are you guys going to handle a special case in case the player noclips through the wall, escapes on the transport (and probably wrenching the G-Man in the face), and breaks the game?

Or will you basically have an alien fighter blow up the transport you're on and have a report like: "Subject: Shephard. Status: Deceased. Postmortem report: Cheaters never prosper."...?

That HUD is damned awesome.

I was wondering if you were going to add holograph outlines on the edges of the visor or not (something like Samus's visor from Metroid Prime or Becket's glasses from FEAR 2).

Gordon, Helmet Guy and Gina were the only three HL1MP characters to have an HEV suit (although they were stick-figurey thin, I'll leave it at that).

There's also the HEV Robot, and I'm going to stop this post before rambling on who were the other MP characters.

Don't cross the streams!

There will be a menu option to enable Hi-Def Pack weapons (Glock -> Beretta, MP5+M203 -> M4A1+M203) when the mod launches.
