​

Black Mesa is a complete re-creation of the game Half-Life, utilizing the Source engine. Black Mesa will let you re-visit the world that started the Half-Life continuum.
Being released this year comes one of the most anticipated mods ever.

Coming in single player, multiplayer and possible even co-op this game ought to have something to offer for everyone.

What will be required to play it?
Simple. ANY Source Powered game that includes the Source SDK. Full list here.

"But Cameron" you say! "This mod is long dead!"
Yeah. You WISH!
Don't try saying that over at their forums. There will be nothing left of your burnt (and burnt again) crisp.

Here be some medias for ya:

This does look awesome, I can't wait too see what happens.

 

[zpqrei]

I've been following this since it began, cann'e wait.

 

[Radaka]

Same here, I will be playing this several times methinks.

 

[Cameron:D]

I can't wait too see what happens.

They one day decide to release it and then the Internet will break.

I hated HL1 but it does look good. I look forward to something original from the team if they do ever work together again.

 

[Freyja]

This almost looks better than HL2.
Can't wait

 

[Dr. Spud]

I really hope this plays well, because so far all I've seen from it is good graphics.

Its a well known fact* that this mod is the entire reason I got into mapping





*amongs myself and few others

 

[Zwiffle]

While it does look good, I would have preferred they spent their mapping efforts on something new instead of a recreation. I'll probably end up playing it eventually, but I'm in no hurry to run through HL1 again anytime soon. I'll be interesting to see what new twists they've added to the game though.

Heck no! Never heard of nostalgia? I want to play through an epic game in the quality of today, not a decade ago!

The fact it is HL2 not something new is proabably 80% or more of the appeal of this mod.

 

[Engineer]

Yeah i too would finally love to play HL1

Had a pantsgasm when I first heard about this. Safe to say my excitement level has only grown

Half life is the best game ever made, by a mile, for my money
