Archived from the news on the old Black Mesa website and left as it was written, so it reflects the game as it stood in 2005.
Black Mesa: Source is a Half-Life 2 modification committed to the task of recreating Half-Life 1 on the Source Engine.
We know that Half-Life: Source exists and is a retail product, but we feel that Half-Life deserves more then what HL:Source has given it. With increased limits on polycounts, new lighting effects, intensive brushwork and a world that can blow your socks off, Black Mesa: Source plans to give you the most exciting Half-Life experience; ever. Stop by the website for more information on the team and our project.
Today is a bigger day then just a simple press announcement, today we release thirteen pieces of media to the public. Many members of our community at Black Mesa: Source have been screaming at us to release it, and we've finally caved in.
Showing off to you are six level shots from two chapters in development, our high-detail grunt model and much more (all viewable on our website).
