Description

Resurrected cryo robot JPoliBOT has attacked Black Mesa's Sector E's relay station, a very profitable and big area of Black Mesa under construction by Keen full of experimental cryogenic things and stuffs. Almighty president Trump has contacted Keen and you aboard the Viking ship, you need to heed his call and beam down to Black Mesa to stop the Trans-dimensional problems caused by the virus and destroy the culprit.

Additional info

Black Mesa forever was a set of very huge, very old maps that ended up in a mix. It had many versions, many of them lost to time. The community took the most complete versions and they were split, merged and restored to create this amalgam of 3 maps, resurrecting this mappack in a sort of way. Some of the maps like kz_keenblackmesa may not be a part of the series but I decided it'd be best to have it here than have it standalone as a very boring and forgettable quick and easy map nobody would play and waste 3 minutes of life.
As additional info, some of the rooms in these maps ended mixed up into what would be RedShift, if that ever is released one day. Namely the train section in the first map, and the last section of the third map with all the spores.

Trivia: One of the most complete versions (bmf10) but missing a big part because of clipnode limits, was made for Anitalink servers that don't seem to exist anymore, as a sort of exploration lobby map. Later that map was butchered and a lot of detail was removed, to include a huge extra area, but removed a big part too, and black_mesa_forever_alpha was made (or maybe it was the other way around). Thing is I took the best of both maps to create this so we can have all of the stuff and nothing missing, with full detail.

Known bugs: There was a very bad seam in the spore map not visible in the editor. Unfixable without recompile, so I used very lazy grapple brushes on it to patch the hole! It may look bad but who cares
