(I have an excuse to be annoying about this today; if it helps you can pretend I'm wearing a propeller hat and holding a huge lollipop)

It feels like they wanted to make the environments and setpieces bigger but didn't think about the impact that would have on the gamefeel and the combat flow. Why pair less cover and bigger arenas with more lethal hitscanners? It ends up feeling like an HP check, not a dynamic combat encounter.

I try to be fair to Black Mesa because it I think its great that a fanmade labor of love like this achieved tacit approval and actually finished what they started. There's a lot of subjective aesthetic qualities it has that I personally dislike but I can't say that makes it a bad game. But...

Its a shame because the artificial intelligence of their HECU is pretty engaging actually; aggressive grenade use, quick movement, they actively try to flank and have lethal aim. But that doesn't matter when you inexplicably take half of the cover and resources out of the combat environments.

I am but an Old apprentice but I hope to reach your caliber of Old some day. Thanks Buggy!
