Damn I remember this game from the ps2 era. We didn't have internet , and I never heard anything about this game and no one recommended it to me . Our paths just crossed accidentally . The first couple of minutes I played , I knew this games quality was on another level. The light rays coming through the windows ,the sound ,the destructible environment .I was thinking like what the hell is this. This game caught me so of guard and that element of surprise I wont ever forget. That's why I love this game so much.

best feature of this game was the way your screen focused during a reload. Just hitting reload would blur the world beyond your weapon and you'd reload faster, or you could tap reload again and bring the environment into focus and blur your weapon with a slight delay in reload speed. Never seen another game do it and it really set this game apart in my mind.

My favorite section in that game was the final battle area on Graznei bridge (The level before the last one). You walk in. The orchestra kicks in. Two MG nests start spitting out lead. Your two squad mates are yelling at your character and your character yells "We're gonna get cut to pieces! Drop the guy on high ground!" Then after a while, one of your squad mates yells "RPG!" and you see a rocket flying next to your face. Chef's kiss for that fight. It was so memorable and it will always hold a special place in my heart

I actually still had ps2 games from a couple years prior in my closet so after a couple months of inactivity with the ps2 in our house I asked if I could hook it up to play games and when I opened up the disc tray Black was just sitting in there. I didnt play it at first but I eventually tried it and loved it.

Black, Red Faction and Battlefield Bad Company did the same thing with destructible environments as F.E.A.R did with enemy AI - it led us to think at the time that future FPSs would become absolutely crazy in those regards. Now look at what we have _over 15 years_ later - nothing that even comes close to those old games. The FPS genre didn't evolve from there. It didn't even just stagnate. It moved backwards and only had a few cosmetic surgeries, thanks to hot garbage like Modern Warfare.

They tried improving on it and bringing similar systems to more graphically demanding games. It didn't really work. PhysX, for example, was a fad for a while before devs just gave up on it because it just wasn't worth the performance hit. It was far more efficient graphically speaking to focus on stuff like tessellation or detailed decals and keep destruction to things that didn't melt CPUs. And then there's the problem with balancing for multiplayer games. Stuff like Bad Company worked because you couldn't destroy absolutely everything, just some buildings and it wasn't all that random. It's not like you could litter the battlefield with rubble, instead a building would basically just change into a destroyed building and that was really it. BF4 took the same idea and made it bigger with levolution. The Red Faction games were really some of the only few that had entirely destructible environments (besides things like Minecraft), but those games were built with that idea in mind. It's core to the gameplay.

Black was good but I also liked Cold Winter. Best ragdoll and dismemberment on PS2.

Loved playing this game with my dad before on the og xbox before he'd have to go to work. Good old days. Also the sequence of fighting in the graveyard, and shooting down the gravestones to shoot enemies hiding behind them blew my mind.

I played Black for the first time since I was a kid and stuff like shotgunning the door off the hinges is what made it feel so cool as a kid

hugely underrated game imo. it combined a realist setting with stylised, hyper realistic violence. it's easy to reduce it to its fundamental gameplay mechanics and encounter design and write it off as just another shooter. but sometimes form has a function all of its own.

How come Ps2 just released banger after banger and I can barely find a decent game to play on PS5 😂. Games were better back in the day.

Usually I get triggered when I see people refer to things that aren't music or music that rocks as "bangers". But for this FPS, I will allow it.

I was probably about 9 or 10, and I was messing around with my dad's ps2 and the cabinet the games were in, and found black. This was during the ps3-ps4 Era. Black was the first game I popped in and tried on the ps2. It blew my mind how good it looked for a console I was too young to remember playing when it came out. I then went on to play ssx tricky, okami, dynasty warriors 4, and so on. Every day I wish that ps2 still worked. Very few games were as consistently fun as the games I found in that cabinet.

funny story: i played this game when i was a kid on the ps2 and didn't know much English then so i bought it by chance because the picture looked cool, i gave the ps2 to a cousin with all the games when the ps3 became popular, every now and then i occasionally looked for it to play it on a ps2 emulator just for nostalgia sake and i couldn't find it with any search query, your video solved a 17 years mystery, thanks 🙏😂

The final two missions where you storm the bridge before raiding the asylum were some of the most intense firefights in my gaming experiences.

I still have memories of playing this and one of the first levels where you come across a street with a burning car and the AK47, with destruction, it was so freakin amazing. A top tier FPS back in the day, truly paved the way.

To say this game was so ahead of it's time its a massive understatement. I hope someday, makes a sequel or remasters it. Would love to see todays tech what they can do with Black
