Yay! Happy B'day to him. It's been ten years and, still, a lot of people still map for it.

Oh my god , it looks so fabulous !Looks much more better than hl:source and I think it's better than hl2 itself.

Congrats, Half-Life!

So Black Mesa is not dead yet. Good.

Amazing level design as always.

10 years? Wow. I guess the release of my level was timed perfectly...

Looking at what they've done with BMS really makes me want to switch to Source mapping...

My post keeps growing. That can't be natural.

Tetsu0: I don't think they plan on releasing Xen screenshots, they want that to be a whole new experience. Something tells me they're really fixing up the crappy platformer elements.

How did I miss this new post!? Just checked the BMS website by chance.

Now I have to change my underwear...

...because I came in them you see?

Happy Birthday Release version 1 of Half-Life. I'm sure the next 10 years will be just as grand.

Definitely buying HL. Been planning on doing that for a long time. And now is a golden opportunity to do that.
Also that BMS update is fucking awesome.

Edit: and oh yeeah, co-op will be really awesome!

Do not get paid, they are all devoted Half-Life fans. What they're doing is simply MASSIVE, so it must really suck for them the amount of abuse they get for taking so long.

I'd never spend that much time on something which I myself wouldn't profit anything from. They must really be hardcore fans.
If they stop I'll go mental

That crowbar animation looks bad in my opinion. Needs more power in the swing. But the rest of it was awesome.

Commented 16 years ago2008-12-01 01:07:01 UTC Comment #98867

The Valve guys put a ton of thought into getting the crowbar in half-life 2 to feel perfect and lets face it, it does.

The BMS guys should have just tried to get it as close to the HL2. This one looks too slow and wimpy.

Strider

Commented 16 years ago2008-12-01 05:32:10 UTC Comment #98868

They've had a few complaints on their forums about the crowbar, I have no doubts they'll get something people are happy with.

Video is so damn awesome.

I can't get over how many people keep saying "I can't believe they won't sell this" or "Damnit Valve buy it off them" etc...

These kids are gonna give them ideas damnit XD

Valve won't buy it because I think that would be very impopular.

Haha listen to this guy on GT forums:

"Yes, it's called Black Mesa: Source. It's the whole fucking point. Y'know? Black Mesa... in the Source engine? Even their website fucking says so.
Also, there is no such thing as Orange Box engine."

Wow! This is the way Black Mesa was meant to look! (and what Half Life: Source failed to look like)

That vista scene at the end, from Half-life's "Surface Tension" looks like win to me, I cant wait to see what that looks like in the game.

Half-life is still very much alive, this is going to be epic. Or atleast i hope so, otherwise i deny ever having said that... YOU CANT MAKE ME ANYTHING

Trailer is really nice. I'm glad to see the project isn't dead. Hopefully they can deliver earlier in 2009 rather than at the end or beyond or god forbid never. We've been waiting a long time......

Commented 16 years ago2008-12-10 05:14:26 UTC Comment #98883

I must be the only person on Earth who had complete confidence in these guys BEFORE this media release. Everybody else use to think they were dead, or close to it. D:

I didn't know about them until you posted this news post back on HL's birthday.

Just slap me with a fail sticker now.

When I first found out about it (2 years ago I think) I just had to listen to the music on their website to know it isn't going to fail.

lol I listened to all the music when i found it too. It's soooo good!
