Black Mesa: Source Download (Released Free) - Remake of Half Life

[Rick]

About
Black Mesa (formerly Black Mesa: Source) is a Half-Life 2 total conversion remaking of 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 didn't fully live up to the potential of a Source engine port of Half-Life. 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. It should be noted that the project is being built from the ground up and is not a simple port of Half Life maps and models into the Source Engine. The idea is to remake the storyline used in Half Life into a new polished Source Engine version with new models, maps, soundtrack, voice acting and textures.
This total conversion will not require Half-Life: Source to play - only a copy of any Source Engine game installed on Steam. For more details, check the System Requirements.

Managed to download this yesterday and hopefully I'll play it soon. Would be good to finish it as I've never finished HL1 and yet managed to complete all of HL2 and Eps 1 & 2 also. I think GameFront also has a comparison video you can find here: Black Mesa Vs. Half-Life - Comparison Video. Shows just how good the mod is and how much better playing HL1 can be running in Source

Ive played a bit of it this weekend, same for me i never finished Half Life either, yet have played though Half Life 2, and Episode 1 and 2.
I did intend to finish it, however once i heard about this mod i just waited... and here we are, 8 years later!

Black Mesa is quite honestly amazing, the guys have done a fantastic job remaking Half Life. It reminded me why i loved PC gaming so much in the late 90's / early 2000's.

I honestly find it hard to believe the game is not official!
