Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / August 2008Black Mesa Source-- anybody excited about this?
In case you don't know the Black Mesa mod is an attempt to recreate the original HL in the Source (HL2) engine and Havok physics (apparently with Valve's blessing). http://www.blackmesasource.com/about.php The project is into its 3rd year now and some of the models and level design look amazing. http://www.blackmesasource.com/media.php I can't imagine it will be too long before the beta is released -- makes you wonder why Valve didn't think of it themselves. > In case you don't know the Black Mesa mod is an attempt to recreate > the original HL in the Source (HL2) engine and Havok physics [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > I can't imagine it will be too long before the beta is released -- > makes you wonder why Valve didn't think of it themselves. The last frontpage news, are from 2007.

Just browsing their forums, the amount of detail they're going into is amazing. It wouldn't surprise me if Valve buy them out in the end. However, I don't think I can go back to shooting Vortigaunts again --- not after holding my Vortiguant plush toy.

What is the difference between this and the the HL Source that came out a few years? ago? "Legion" skrev > What is the difference between this and the the HL Source that came > out a few years? ago? HL Source was just improved textures/water BMS is a total conversion/improvement Have a look at the screenhots or the teaser, the difference should be rather obvious - Peter >"Legion" skrev > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >- Peter Thanks >>"Legion" skrev >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Thanks Yes, I am happy to see it progressing, I would certainly enjoy a new mod to play about now.

Rene: Someone here told me about Coast to Atmosphere mod. If you haven't played this, do so. It is terrific. Very long and really a great game. I am at the very end. Had to get help from this group to solve a most difficult part (thank you, Randy!) to get this far. Stuck again, but even the walkthrough says this ending is particularly difficult to solve.
