Operation: Black Mesa is a total Source remake of Half Life: Opposing Force. Using the Source engine, the developers plan to recreate the Black Mesa research Facility as it was seen by Corporal Adrian Shephard of the H.E.C.U. Half-life: Opposing Force is still an amazing game, although it is not nearly as amazing as it was when it was released.
We hope you enjoy this little AI presentation and hopefully, you will like the direction we took with our AI system. Be sure you leave us your feedback as well :)
Please, note that this is only CODE representation and is recorded in a separate build without any custom assets. All the models, sounds and textures are placeholders and are not created by Tripmine studios. AI itself is still work in progress and does not represent the final AI.
Impressive!
That's pretty damn good!
I love how H.E.C.U take that grenade and retrun to player.
Will the Grunt Ai be applied to allied HECU too? They were quite brainless in Opposing Force for supposedly special ops marines.
Yes, we can't stand how stupid they are in the original game :D
Yeah.
I always thought it was hilarious the way they ran into their own mines.
Ha ha this is awesome! :D I like how the creatures and marines have 'leaders' that actually have a mechanic :)
Thanks for this update!
"Placeholder" models? Quit making excuses. ;)
Excellent work. You have some very talented programmers.
That was quite impressive.
I hope you'll fix the "this is my post sir" guy.
Wow, this is very impressive. it looks as if they are truly logically using their environment. Truly better than most of the AIs nowadays, where most just sit in one place and only peak once in a while.
Looks really great! :D
You know a mod is good when even the cockroaches have advanced AI.
Just so you know, the cockroaches in HL1 acted in the same way: scattering in the light, clustering around dead bodies / gibs and fleeing from larger entities.
You're right though. It's nice to see a mod team putting in the same level of detail. :)
Amazing how you guys do this stuff.

Will taking out the squad leader have any effects on the other enemies' behavior?
I love the new AI, but I have a concern, I keep seeing updates for OBM in the Guard duty category. Is there still work being done on that two or will these new things be integrated?
We work on both modes at the same time. While the Guard Duty is somehow silent, we still progress with it. Both are separate mods though.
great work indeed. good to see so many improvements to the ai!
Very very impressive indeed. I didnt expect the upgrade to go to the useless and unmentionable roaches. :o
Hope you'll be able to show scientists climbing ladders/barneys :D
Scientists climbing Barneys? o_O
but 1 thing in opposing force you are a soldier right? why the soldiers attack you? and when is the date of release i cant whait to download good work men!!!!
very good
I like what I'm seeing so far, though there were way to many roaches in that simulation. You never see that many out in the open in real life. Granted, at night down here in Georgia US, we do have a lot of tree roaches out and about in the evening, but you hardly ever see them during the day. Even at night, though, they mainly stick to edges and close to objects, rarely making dashes across open spaces unless absolutely needed. Even then, if they sense an approaching human or animal, some stop dead in their tracks, thinking they won't be seen (yeah right), while others quickly dash for wall cracks or under/behind an object. Nonetheless, I've never seen more than two or three in an area and they are widely spaced. The only time you'll find a large concentration of roaches like you had in the simulation would be in a really dirty location with lots of rancid food stuffs or in a sewer tunnel/tube.
Better than fish ai
HOLY ******* SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Good AI actually, seems better than the AI of ArmA II at least.

Holly ****, is this real? This beats Black Mesa AI without a blink!
Cockroach AI is the new Fish AI
Absolutely impressive, love fighting good AI.
And what happens if you kill the "lider" of an alien group?
sick cockroach tech guys
