Black Mesa: Source

Quote:
Black Mesa (formerly Black Mesa: Source) is a Half-Life 2 total conversion remaking VALVe Software's award-winning PC game, Half-Life. Utilizing the Source engine, Black Mesa will reintroduce the player as Doctor Gordon Freeman, along with the original cast of memorable characters and environments seen in Half-Life. Black Mesa was built and founded on the basis that Half-Life: Source was inadequate as the Source engine port of Half-Life, regardless of the intentions of VALVe Software. As such, Black Mesa was founded to fully reconstruct the Half-Life universe utilizing Source to its fullest potential in terms of art detail, level sizes and code features. This total conversion will not require Half-Life: Source to play - only a copy of any Source Engine game installed on Steam.

Personal thoughts - Looks simply amazing, a great idea for a great classic.

Didn't know that but the trailer looks like "wet pants" worthy.

4 years, that's a long time, how come I never heard of it ;/

Must admit that ending of HL 1 was a bit rushed, all of sudden you were floating about and trying to kill a big "blurp".

Watching the trailer gave me flashbacks. I have only one question - can you kill *anything* like the original?

It feels great that people are taking the old and making it new again. I love Half-Life, as I will love the game even more if it were revamped with the latest Source engine.
