check it out on the site ! http://www.blackmesasource.com/

"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."

I know....I was kidding....but yea, this looks very promising, I just hope it doesn't take a whole 3 years.

Great mod for sure...
I'm keeping a close eye on this for some years now. It sure deserved the waiting all this time. Btw, here (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43237.html?type=) is the HD trailer.

It's an unofficial mod, it will require just to have any Source game (for SDK Source Base) and it will be free. They don't have the right to charge for it, except if Valve acquires it, like they did with CS.

Btw, since it's a mod based on Source, you could use the Source Games (http://www.fun-motion.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2109) thread to mention it. ;)


EDIT:
I just hope it doesn't take a whole 3 years.

It's already in 4 years of development, just started the fifth... :eek:

I think this got renamed to just Black Mesa. And it was supposed to come out about 2 years ago.

Yeah, now that they left that trailer out, won't take much longer. Not more than a year (i hope a lot sooner). :p

And yeah number 2, it's been renamed to just Black Mesa, hopefully.
I never liked that ":Source" getting on almost every Source mod's name.

Neat project, but very much a vanilla FPS, and not a physics game...
