Fun fact: the vocals of this track are just recordings of Gordon Freeman being chased by 13 angry gargantuas.

[Chucken]

If you start hearing this music.
Run.
Don't Look back.

[MrRulet]

Half life: Here have some easy enemies you've already dealt with
Black mesa: run

[lediableenpersonne]

The "Always run" option in BM menu :


*Now this looks like a job for me*

[DomingesBeats]

How many gargs in Xen do you want?
Crowbar Collective: Yes

[thienlongtran]

And the winner of the Black Mesa Decathlon goes to ...

[auzabraar]

When i got to that part, i just knew there was going to be a gargantua chase scene.

*But i wasn't expecting a dozen of them.*

[emancipationvevo]

Doing his on hard mode was like trying run from a pack of angry bears with flamethrowers strapped to their paws

[hatti...]

Why is my finger glued to the shift key?

[VoJonnyJoJo]

Half Life: Here you go, a simple battle
Black Mesa: I can offer you a battle you have no chance of winning

[Kathkere]

What I absolutely loved about this part of the game was that there were no arrows pointing you were to run, no annoying sidekick telling you what to do. Just sheer adrenaline and spatial awareness. I only died once because I got stumped, which is not a lot considering how far you have to run. The music truly immersed one into the experience of running for one's life. It's been far too long since I last enjoyed a game as much as I enjoyed this one :)

[Plague_Potato]

The map, the chase, the music, the ending. FUCK THIS GAME WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND THE WAIT

[ucanadamsabref-]

black mesa in facility: challenging yet playable
black mesa in xen: *i require DEATH*

[jackmintz]

I think it wasn't a coincidence that this chase happens right after you leave the village, those gargs weren't just there. They are guards that kill any vort that tries to leave.

[tomwismar]

Gordon: Walking around
Gargantuas: *h e l o*

[willydonka]

Whoever originally came up with “How about we just have like 15 gargantuas chasing the player I’m sure that’ll be memorable” you were right, but also you’re a monster.

The music in black Mesa was all so good

[tefus]

Who ever did the vocals did a fantastic job with xen

[lstkom]

*music starts*
Gordon: *spams the long jump module*

[crazyiness]

The only battle anyone have no chance of winning, is composing a music against Joel Nielsen!

[FrontSideBus]

The bit at the end where you turn around and they are all there flaming away... priceless! Couldn't help but offer up two fingers to the screen!
My favourite Xen bit after the beginning when you explore the abandoned research base. Awesome environment that was, very Avatar like!
