Baby don't hurt me!

Dr. Eddy opened a portal to the Xen world to establish his base there. Brad's (the player) job is to track that ****** down and keep Black Mesa's integrity and data safe. Of course Dr. Freeman interferes with the unfortunate experiment in Sector C and all hell breaks loose.

A typical mod set in Black Mesa Research Facility and beyond with excellent mapping in classic HL/BS/Op4 style and quite a long playtime of about 3-4 hours. There's quite a clever use of custom audio and reused lines of the classic games, and some horrible english subtitles which are trying hard to tell you what to do. Skill-level is quite high: Aliens take some more shots, grunts are easy to kill, in exchange they will hunt you down with a few shots aswell.

Quite an experience - especially held up with the excellent level-design and lot's of characters (New models and creative use of those) which make the BMRF quite a lively place.

The let downs are the overall dependency of NPCs which have to open up doors for you and the bad tracking system because they used to get stuck quite often.

The english is just horrible, a native speaker or just better google translation would've helped a lot.

The Xen-Battle is pretty much impossible on higher difficulty. You just run you of health during the fight of never ending waves of Slaves and Controllers (I just cheated though).

Apart from that it's quite an enjoyable experience recommended for every old-school HL mod fan!

Return to Black Mesa Research Facility once more, this time, as security guard Brad and experience alternate story of Half-Life. Starting your day as usual you find yourself in the center of chaos and who else if not you is there to save the day? The mod features 40 different maps and at least 2 hours of gameplay. The level design is amazing, almost making you forget that this is just a mod and not an official expansion pack like Blue Shift or Opposing Force. As the matter of fact, Black Guard is a mix of both! Custom models and new soundtrack also fits nicely! Sadly, not everything is so great. To begin with, the English is nowhere near good, even if you do install the path it is still hard to understand, on the other hand, what else would you expect, it was made by Chinese! Another thing, while the mod features quite a big levels, most of the time they are only for item fetching. You may encounter a few crashes here and there, at least I did, but once you get trough them, the game is really great!

The mapping is excellent but, the mod itself is very hard and your english is crap.

Its fun and varied. A bunch of enemies are given minor tweaks to mix things up for veterans. The headcrabs can now detach themselves from zombies like in HL2. The female assassins feel like they are more fragile.

He lifts a bunch of stuff from other places, but I don't care. Its well put together. There are some severe glitches, but its usually fixed by quickloading your last save.

The maps are pretty and thought out. Some of the puzzles don't have a clear answer, I needed more of a hint to solve them. I hated that I have to often fight and solve a puzzle at the same time, but overall pretty good experience. Its worth your time.

Nice mapping in terms of visuals but fetching keys belongs to the past (had to cheat to get past one of the doors because when I tried to backtrack to find the key a scientist kept dying off screen in one of the earlier levels), the buffed enemies were super annoying (especially with so many headcrabs), the mod's English was atrocious and there were other annoyances as well such as loud music (I wasn't able to adjust the volume).

Black Shift gonna be take it

ugly models

An underrated semi old-school mod that puts the player in yet again, another disaster scenario. It reminds me of Residual Point - Life series and also Cleaner's Adventures. If you liked those mods and looking for similar experiences Black Guard is for you.

As for the actual mod, it is a very well designed experience. The mapping is fantastic and the play-time is very long too (40 maps). One cool feature is that headcrabs jump out from the zombies' head when killed and attack on their own. Throughout the mod you'll be escorting people from point A to B, which can be somewhat frustrating, but overall, not really an issue.

The biggest issue is the translation. The developer is Chinese and because of this both written and spoken lines make no sense. I have created a re-translation of the mod that doesn't change the intended meaning while improving the text, I suggest anyone who is interested in the mod to get it for a smooth and understandable experience:

Got a good laugh out of it. The broken english is incredible and the weird stuff elevates it a bit, a few bugs and crashes related to Xash3D on the WON version bring it down a bit but not by much. Map design is decent but repetitive at times.

Also dat credits roll.

This mod was interesting. The weapons were cool and the gameplay was enjoyable. I understand that English is not the first language of the mod's developer, but it was particularly bad. Like I would have understood it just as well if it weren't translated. I mean, even Google translates better than this. Kidding aside, I managed to get through it. I understand that, as the end nears, things are supposed to get harder. However, I think the term "overkill" is more appropriate for this. Hey, some people like that kind of a challenge. Unfortunately, I don't.
