[PC] Black Mesa (mod) - Subtley similar to Half Life

Latest trailer from my baby:

YouTube Video

So basically you get to play the original Half-Life with new ultramint flavor for free. New models, music, textures, voicework...really the only thing left of valve's is the source code.

I don't know how many people know about this mod from previous threads and such, but it really does deserve its own thread. I mean, they've not only redone the first player campaign, but will also be enabling it for co-op play, and also adding in revised versions of half-life deathmatch to boot.

Free.99 is a nice price to pay for this one, so keep your eye on it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Valve technically already did it with Half-Life: Source, they just didn't have the time for all the texture and modeling work it would require, so Half-Life source came with better water effects and...not much else.

Well, after Valve stoked the flames, this mod team stepped in and decided to do it right. The most important part is that when contacted, Valve basically gave the team their blessing to continue and complete the whole thing. They have no involvement that I know of other than that.

Free-99 is a term my friends coined, but um...it's free. If they decided to charge money, that's when they'd be in hot water with Valve.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
