2009 is long...when ?
Glad they updated, I though the mod was dead.

 

@ Darkefire: They already had to change the name because Valve asked them to. The official name is actually just Black Mesa. Originally they were calling it Black Mesa: Source, but Valve asked them to change the name, but apart from that they were OK with the mod so it is pretty clear that they will at least not hinder it and I wouldn't be surprised if it is available through steam as it looks to be of very high quality.

I have also been watching this mod since the very early days and can't wait for it to be finished.

 

in parallel to the "games you wish you had finished" thread, I declare that I will buy this game because I have never finished the original HL (shame on me)

 

WOOT, I would play half life one again especially if it has vamped up graphics, cant wait for this.

 

Fracking awesome

 

did anyone else get shivers down the back of their spine when they heard those alarm klaxons when Gman was onscreen?

I'm definately going back to black mesa

 

Great news

 

You realise that it's a free mod, right?

 

I'm sure it's decent right now, will be decent next week, and might still be decent in eighteen months' time. It's the long term that worries me.

 

I've been tracking this one since I first heard about it in PC Gamer many years ago, at times I had my doubts that it would ever get anywhere but this looks "frickin' awesome man!".

I'd seen the designs and the screen shots before but actually seeing it in motion looks simply wonderful, god bless modders and you'll be getting my money on release date thats for sure. Gotta love the Silo tentacle beast!

I read about the HL source that Valve did themselves, didn't sound all that great besides once you put the HiDef pack from Blue Shift in the original HL looked pretty good considering its age. I still can't make up my mind about swapping the MP5/ GL combo for the M203 as your primary tool of death dealing.

 

Oh by the way, here is a message for all those who think this looks awesome (don't we all?) but haven't played the original all the way to the end.
Be aware that the original HL payed a visit to the alien homeworld of Zen and as much as I utterly love HL, this is more that just a bit rubbish. I mean, a walking testicle beast that you can't kill? Who knows maybe BMS will improve things a bit, but then they would be altering the game so they might not want to do that.

I'd hate to think someone might get put off the game when you reach Zen, just hang in there it does take you back eventually.

 

Wow! That looks fantastic. Can't wait.
I thought I read somewhere that someone is doing something similar to Return to Castle Wolfenstein but can't find any updates. Anybody know anything about that?
