This is a a discussion topic for the map "Black Mesa: Inbound - Chapter 1" by RabidMonkey777 which can be found here

Map description:

This is one of my other chapters for Black Mesa - The introductory tram ride. I figured I'd make up a profile for it 'cause there's one for Surface Tension too.

There's some development timeline shots here, some of which are from Kalashnikov's previous attempt at the chapter before I took it over:

Your thoughts? I've already made some changes and added a few new rooms to Level I (which is shown) and orangemapped Level II, but I still'd appreciate your insight.

Eek, that was a giant jpeg.

They're all under 100 now, save for 2 which wouldn't compress any further :(

I removed a lot of the monitors - The general consensus was there was far too many for the area. There's some assorted trash and such scattered around the platform as well (styrofoam cups, janitor's cart, etc), and it should look abit more 'lived-in' once our prop set is finished off and our scientists are ingame and moving around.

I'd have to agree somewhat with reaper47, in the sense that it looks a bit too futuristic. Other than that it looks great. You guys obviously know what your doing.

Half-Life Source desperately needed a facelift, and you guys are doing a great job at it. It's almost as if you're referencing pictures of real places...

Dude. Someone should make a whole set of these. I'd love to play through half-life 2 half-life levels.
