Black Mesa:Source

[Clarko]

I haven't kept up with this mod until recently. They stopped working on it with the previous engine and reworked it with the Orange Box Engine.

Check out the vid from the link:

It looks great. I have the original game but never played it all the way through. I am pretty sure this mod will be free but with the way the video makes it look professional maybe not? I wouldnt mind paying for it if its the price of the original Half life game which is like 5-10 bucks on steam I think.

wow....
i still have to finish HL
O.O

Ive been following this mod for years.... I hope they actually just get to finish it up and release it before it fades into complete obscurity.

Yea, its a mod, it will be free (im pretty sure) but yes, it is one of the most professional mods I have seen. This game is what HL:Source should have been.

I really cant wait to play through the first game again updated correctly for source. Just hope it gets released before the source engine becomes obsolete.

I can't imagine the source engine being obsolete since it is compatible with many different kind of computer setups as far as hardware goes. I think they will introduce a new engine after episode 3 so they can show it off with a new IP Valve might be making in the future.

The most important part:
THERE WILL BE MULTI-PLAYER CO-OP!!!!
I've been watching this one for a while. It looks amazing.

valve said they do not feel like introducing a new engine, just keep updating the source one for a long while

Yea, I have heard that too, but to be honest, source is starting to look pretty dated, even with the new effects introduced in L4D. I have a feeling that Valve will release episode 3, which is probably at least a year away anyways on source, then I think they will begin work either on a new IP, or on a new Half Life game, using a new engine. If you think about it though, for an engine to last 5-6 years, especially in todays game market, that is pretty impressive, but I just dont know how much else they are going to be able to add to source to keep it competitive (and I can think of at least a few features that need to be in there, DoF anyone?)

Either way, BM Source, has been in development for almost as long as HL2 has been out, if not longer (which is now 4 years) and I just hope they are able to release something soon because if it takes too long, nobody will still care and I do think source will become obsolete before too long (a few years)

Edit: Wow, missed that trailer link, and that trailer looks amazing.

Woo! They dropped the Counter Strike requirement! That was the only thing keeping me from getting too excited about this project. Now I am psyched again!
