I hope you are excited for this update as much as I am releasing it! There's plenty to talk about!
First of all, I would like to thank all the people who helped make this mod even better than I ever imagined it would be, because it IS much better. When I started working on this back in 2018, I had much ambitions and hope for it, but I did not expect it would grow this much since then. Initially meant to be a simple mappack, it now has everything I could hope a serious mod would have, very amazing music and voice acting, cinematic scenes, suprising gameplay elements and more!
Remember, that this is not the final version and still much can be done to make this mod better. But this update cements something that I wanted for a long time. Proper scenes with proper dialogues and better looking maps. People complained that my maps are not on professional level for a long while, and I understood it completely. Make no mistake, they are nowhere near as perfect as they could be, but when I started working on this, I was learning mapping from the get-go. So you may notice that they are still looking amateur in many spots, in true, but for now at least I can show off with beautiful outdoor expansions:
MAP EXPANSIONS AND REMASTERS
This map for example, it looked like this years ago and it was one of the better ones then!:
And this is the current one with updated graphics for 2024 version:
The biggest flaw of the mod was obviously interiors and rooms being too big and just simple cubes. From update to update I improved them as much as I could. And so I did the same with 2024 version, here is an example of one of the rooms from chapter 2:
And this is exactly the same location but back from 2019 version:
So the complaints were totally reasonable and much work had to be made on improving them further. Chapter 7 is still incomplete and can't be fully finished and the mod ends in the cliffhanger again but I was wondering what would make more sense, complete chapter 7 and focus on this, or put all the effort to make the already long modification look as best as it could. I chose the second option and I don't regret this. Now with these improvements I can freely complete chapter 7 and 8 for the future update and I have plenty of ideas but I don't want to spoil anything. So enjoy the mod at it's current state and I hope you will have fun playing it!
NEW SOUNDTRACK
Composed by JDCreative(Sinon Sniper) here is an example of his amazing work:
SCRIPTED DIALOGUES AND SCENES
This update introduces fully captioned scenes. Skylord_noltok provided voice acting on a very professional level. In english for now, translations will be added later on. New soundtrack, new voice actor and choreographed sequences for Marines are a game changer for these scenes.
I hope you will provide feedback on what's good and what's not so much. I will listen to any suggestions and definitely take them into consideration to impove the quality of the mod.
Thank you for reading!

Hands down the best BM mod where you play as a marine, and now it's better than ever, tysm for this gem! :D
This is what HDTF should have become.
This is cool bro !!!
a good update, although there are not enough new characters like engineers and office workers (including zombies), perhaps soldier-engineers, and it’s also worth remaking black ops
new chapters in 2-4 years?
This isn't Opposing Force, also I would like to add that this isn't Opposing Force oh and by the way this isn't Opposing Force. But seriously, I could add some of those things but I lack modeller at this moment so until someone volunteers there's not much hope for that.
Where exactly does the mod end? I encountered the Black Ops and finished off the sniper inside that tower and unlocked the huge Gate. Is that where the mod ends as it's unfinished?
Fantastic make on the remastered maps. I enjoyed em immensely and the voice acting was fairly well made as well. Little light on Story dialogs in general but good none the less.
The mod ends much later then that. I made a mistake and forgot to remove invisible wall in that room, but it's passable you just need to crouch in right spot and you will press on. It will be fixed in the future.
Odd. I tried noclip before asking the question here.. No map change happened for me on that place.
Im hoping for the next demo, will the maps of BM Bshift be used during when you wake back up after getting knocked put by the vort?
No I doubt that. I wanted to base it on original Blue Shift. It will probably remain like that, until something changes but for now that's the idea.
use addon OP4 Style Night Vision - (flashlight replacement)
for night vision,you flashlight-night vision is bad
I'm glad that the mod is alive and updates continue to be released, I'll be happy to try it again. Good luck with the development:)
Good job ! I will take a look soon :)
