** In ''Opposing Force'', [[spoiler:which is referenced via Shepherd being stranded (and later rescued)]], the Black Ops operate independently from HECU (and are hostile to them) - here, the two operate together with no problems.
** The ending shows that HECU did, indeed, commenced a counter-invasion in Xen but failed. This is not present in the ''Black Mesa'' remake.
* AdaptedOut: Despite ''Opposing Force'' being referenced, as noted above, the male Black Ops and Race X are not present (the Greys taking the latter's place as a secondary invasion force).

* GameBreakingBug: The mod crashes whenever the HD pack was installed. This doesn't seem to occur when played on {{Steam}} or [=Xash3D=] versions. Also, if the mod is played on [=Xash3D=], some scripts involving Gargantuas will not be activated, rendering it {{unwinnable}}.
* {{Gonk}}: All of the helmet (sans gas mask)-wearing HECU soldiers.
* GratuitousEnglish: One sign in the subway station features an {{animesque}} girl breaking out of her chains. A text above her says "girls not slave". Earlier, the words "Accident ago" appear on the screen.
* TheGreys: They appear as enemies, having lots and lots of hitpoints and equipped with a plasma rifle. If you're close enough, they'll punch you instead.
* HellishCopter: Not counting the Apache pursuing [=McGinley=] in the subway, one Apache crashes into {{Room 101}} after the HECU ambush party was slaughtered by him.
* HeroicMime
* MadLibsDialogue
* MadnessMantra: See TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou.
* MeleeATrois: Black Mesa vs. HECU vs. Xen vs. TheGreys.
* TheMonolith: Again, used to [[spoiler:complete the ''2001'' ShoutOut]].
* MoreDakka: The plasma rifle and the minigun, which packs ''[[UpToEleven even more]]'' dakka than the [=MP5=] or the [=F2000=].
* MultipleEndings: [[spoiler:[=McGinley=] can either board one of the [=UFOs=], taking him to Greys' mothership, rescuing the HECU troops there ([[EnemyMine who in turn aid him]]), destroying it (and therefore the Grey invasion force and rescuing Shephard), or he can be abducted by one of the active [=UFOs=] which takes him to Xen where he fights the Kingpin (allowing the Greys to invade the Earth). Either way, [=McGinley=] will always end up on top of the tram boarded by both the G-Man and Freeman]].
* NintendoHard
* NoOSHACompliance: Surprisingly averted. Played straight with the train station near the laser test site [[spoiler:where [=McGinley=] rescues a bunch of scientists from the Greys]].
* PlotArmor: The Bradley [=McGinley=] fights near the heliport cannot be damaged by anything. [[spoiler:It was only destroyed after a Xen formation teleports and grew beneath it]].
* PlotTwist: [[spoiler:Black Mesa is really {{Area 51}}, if the [=UFOs=] and TheGreys are any indication]].
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Antonio Vivaldi's L'estro armonico no. 3 and Music/AlsoSprachZarathustra.
* {{Room 101}}: [[spoiler:[=McGinley=] finds one in the fake generator room]].
* RuleOfCool: Taken UpToEleven if you've installed [=R1chard=]'s UD pack.
* RunningGag: The Vortigaunts listening to Vivaldi's L'estro armonico no. 3.
* SemperFi: Initially subverted with the HECU. [[spoiler:Played straight once [=McGinley=] [[EnemyMine rescues them]]]].
* ShortRangeShotgun
* ShoutOut:
** [[spoiler:After destroying the Grey mothership]], the mod reenacts the last scenes of ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', [[spoiler:with [=McGinley=] in Bowman's place.]]
** A [[WhatCouldHaveBeen scrapped]] UD pack turns TheGreys into the Martians from ''Film/MarsAttacks''
* TanksForNothing: A destroyed HECU Abrams can be seen in Xen [[spoiler:towards the end of the game]] along with its dead crew. [[spoiler:The Abrams aside, all of the Bradleys were destroyed by Xen lifeforms. Firing a rocket at them does nothing but annoy them]].
* UnwinnableByMistake: [[spoiler:Missing just one of the tubes in the mothership denies you access to the reactor core. Worse yet, once you've activated an elevator, you can't go back.]]
* YouAllLookFamiliar: The Black Mesa HEV-wearing scientists, due to its reuse of the vanilla scientist head models. Slightly subverted with the HECU marines, who now have 6 different heads.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler:[=McGinley=]'s ultimate and apparent fate, no matter the ending]].
