May 05, 2015 On a Rail Uncut and Surface Tension Uncut are not included in the Steam version of Black Mesa, but the Uncut maps will be added into Steam Workshop very soon. Is that because they don't wanna include the authors /s in any possible payments due? Just asking:). Jul 21, 2013 On a Rail Uncut, like my other mod, Surface Tension Uncut, is an addon you install into Black Mesa which seamlessly adds on and integrates into Black Mesa's story mode. This isn't official work, I'm just a big fan of Black Mesa and the Half-Life series in general trying to right what I perceive as a flaw in the remake. Jan 07, 2013 This is the absolutely final, full release of Surface Tension Uncut, my little mod which adds the cut sections back to Black Mesa's Surface Tension, seamlessly, at no loss of quality. It gives Surface Tension the fitting climax it deserved. Black Mesa’s version re-imagines the original Crossfire map in Source, adding a ton of new visuals and details, complete with the same infamous nuclear bunker. The map architecture stays pretty much the same, there’s the big courtyard space full of balconies and weapons, and the open helipad space in-front of the bunker, with the iconic.
The update changelog, available on the official Black Mesa Forums, gives a full rundown.
Here’s a little snippet of the main new features:

What we liked was the fact that Black Mesa’s version gives an entirely new context and feel to the map by adding an abandoned/decaying facility theme, it’s a lot darker too.

As you can see, there’s a bunch of new weapon models, giving the Gluon Gun, RPG, Crossbow and Shotgun a new look and feel.

The Tau Cannon can also do ‘wallshotting’, which allows you to overcharge and fire the beam through walls in the map. For anyone who remembers the original Half-Life Deathmatch, a match of Crossfire wouldn’t be complete without seeing someone get totally zapped out of the blue by it.
There’s also been a overhaul of the multiplayer player animations and certain characters like the G-Man have proper view models.
Improvements are not just visual. Multiplayer server features got upgraded too. Score is now saved for when a player leaves and then rejoins a match. Teams can also be locked for competitive sessions.
The Black Mesa Steam Workshop got upgraded too, so community content creators will no longer have a mod size limit, opening up a ton of new possibilities.
The update also adds three previously released maps, Chopper, Rail, and Powerto the official map list. Stalkyard got a minor facelift too, with more detailing added.
Shortly after the update going live, it was reported on r/HalfLife that a few maps from the yet-to-be finished Surface Tension chapter can be found in the game files.
We have some more exclusive content to share about the future of Surface Tension in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
Also, we have 10 copies of Black Mesa to giveaway. We’ll be doing a livestream with the developers at the end of next week.

About the Soundtrack
After seven years, hundreds of hours and too many song revisions to count, the Black Mesa Soundtrack is finally released. Faced with the impossible task of creating a soundtrack that will pay homage to Half Life 1 and the millions of fans worldwide. From a slightly different perspective, I have tried to bring what I feel is the essence of Half Life, to Black Mesa.
Surface Tension Quizlet
I wanted to use new musical genres and styles in Black Mesa, while still maintaining a Half Life 'feel'. A few song re-makes were attempted, but there is no point in re-making something that is already a classic. I know I risk much composing a soundtrack so different, but I am hoping the community will come to like it almost as much as the original.
