Black Mesa: the passage and variants of the ending

The first-person shooter Half Life tells the story of the physicist Gordon Freeman, who turned out to be involved in a cycle of political conspiracy, military trials, invasion of aliens and much more. This project was published more than twenty years ago and since then is the standard in its genre. However, it was the second part that won the maximum success, but what became of the first? Naturally, they did not forget about it, but it should be noted that she is interested in fewer and fewer new gamers. Of course, this alignment does not please inveterate fans who are ready to do everything for their favorite game. Considering the fact that very often recycled versions of old games appear in the light, Half Life lovers group started creating their own remake, which turned out to be very impressive. In Black Mesa, the passage proceeds in exactly the same way as in the original game, but the game has improved graphics and a huge number of different bonuses, Easter eggs and perks for knowledgeable and understanding people.

Acquisition and bonuses

It would be boring if in Black Mesa the passage was identical to the original version, and only the appearance would be changed . Therefore, fans who are part-time in this case are also developers, decided to add to the game a large number of achievements, each of which requires ingenuity and originality in thinking. For example, you can find a microwave in which there is a warmed up, but untouched casserole, and destroy it, having received for this achievement "Acceleration of convection". Also, you can find a scientist in one of the complex's toilets behind a closed cab door, which can not get out for the reason that he has run out of toilet paper. Give him a roll to save the scientific mind. In general, as you can see, these achievements do not have any influence on the storyline, but will help you to have fun and get even more fun - in Black Mesa the passage is designed to search for different perks and easter eggs, but, of course, nobody forces You do it, and you can just ponostalgate by going through an updated version of your favorite game.

Passing of missions on the basis of "Black Mesa"

So, as in the original version of the game, in Black Mesa the passage begins with the fact that you arrive at work in the "Black Mesa" complex, where you work as a physicist. You need to listen to the background, prepare for the labor process, and then go on a responsible job - installing an unusual sample in the antimass spectrometer. It is here that everything will go wrong, and you'll be in another dimension for a few seconds, after which, when you get out of the test room, you will find that the aliens attacked the complex. Armed with a mount, you have to make their way through them, trying to find more powerful weapons, as well as access to freedom.

However, it turns out that the government decided that something had happened that should not come to the surface. Therefore, in the "Black Mesa" special units of troops are already flocking, to which a clear order is given - to shoot at the defeat absolutely for all - which means, for you too. Accordingly, you now need to fight back from them too, and also look for a new way out. Scientists will help you in this, who will offer a rather desperate move - to send you to where you have already been for several seconds during the installation of the sample. Thus, passing through already familiar levels, you will reach the portal, which teleports you to another dimension. Unfortunately, on this passage of the game Black Mesa comes to an end - the developers decided to limit the first half of the game, so to study the second half you will need to play the original version - but it's worth it.

Passing levels in another dimension

Perhaps the developers will still get to the alien dimension, so that the passage of the game Black Mesa was completed. Or maybe it's just a way to draw attention to the original version of the game, so that gamers download it to find out what ended such an exciting story. However, for the moment the ending you can learn only in the original game Half Life, and to do it really worth it. You have to travel on someone else's dimension, fighting with unimaginable monsters and trying to find a way out - and, accordingly, salvation for humanity. As a result, you will have to fight in the final with a huge main monster, which is very difficult to defeat. But after this game Black Mesa will offer you two variants of the ending.

The first ending

So, if you defeated the main monster from another dimension, then you teleport to a trolley that moves through space. It already has G-Man, which you could see several times during the game, if you were careful enough - it explains to you the essence of everything that is happening, and then invites you to work for it. He opens the trolley, and at the exit there is a portal. You can refuse to go out, and this will lead to the first (and sad) ending - Gordon is in a different dimension, where an endless mob of monsters comes to him.

The second ending

If you choose the second option and exit the trolley with G-Man, you will be frozen in the cryocamera to unfreeze by the time of Half Life 2 events. Naturally, it would be much more pleasant if both of these endings could be played In the project Black Mesa 2.
