Black Mesa: Source - A Half-Life 2 Modification

[DiGiTaL MoNkEY]

On the 17th of November, Valve Software celebrated the 10th anniversary of the game that pretty-much made the company what it is, Half Life. Valve used the simple 3D first-person shooter genre, focused heavily on the gameplay elements to churn out an awesome game of its time. With the introduction of the Source game engine, Valve made additions to the franchise with Half Life 2 (HL2), HL2: Episode 1 and HL2: Episode 2.

While the company itself could be working on another addition, an independent community-driven group sought to commemorate the 10th anniversary, by remaking the original Half Life using the Source engine. This is not to be confused with the simple Source-engine port Valve created in the form of Half Life: Source. The game is to be called Black Mesa: Source, which is comes in the form of a Half Life 2 modification. The levels, characters, graphics and physics get a refresh to the latest Source has to offer. The game is set for release in 2009.

Been keeping my eye on this mod since the start of its development. If its done well it will be a fantastic revamp to the best game of all time. Unfortunately the site doesnt have any release dates yet any ideas on that?

The worst sequel ever gives birth to a refresh of the best game to ever hit the market - who'd have thunk'it!

Awsome,

I've been watching the progress for so long. I've been hoping Valve would buy them out and help them with the game. I would be willing to pay at least $10 for this game.

This looks excellent, the weapons even sound better.

Whereas i'd prefer they charged nothing, i payed for Half Life when it originally came out. Why should we be slugged again for a remake

You ever paid to see a remake of a movie at the cinema?

[dazzawul]

People pay to see remakes at the cinemas ALL THE TIME!

Look up a movie called "Oceans 11"

Nuff said

Well, having said that, I came hard when I saw the trailer, this looks great, and I'm gonna buy the shit out of this, it looks great!

Same - And if the last few years is anything to go by, will be another few years before it's released.

And fuck me, you bastards are so cheap. I'd pay $50 easily for this mod. It's been years in the making.

A mod that has been 4 years in the making. With a development team (Valve) who have been notorious for delays. Yes. I can't wait until its release in 2016 with HL3.
