Maybe not too far off a release, finally. After being announced way back in 2004 and with a teaser trailer released back in 2008 and rumored release date of late 2009, the Black Mesa Mod may not be too far from a release......given that what had long been forgotten and unheard of for along time now has finally coughed up some more screens depicting some of the later levels in Half Life

Can have a look here

.....and it is very purddy :D

Loving the nostalgia. The Tram Ride in is a clear example. The constant ducking and darting from one side to the other to check out whats going on and how much detail they've crammed into it and mentally comparing it in your head to the sights and sounds you remember playing through 14 years ago. There's the moments you remember and love, like being a dick before you enter the test chamber by pressing the alarm button or over microwaving someones lunch and then there's some completely new jokes and moments that fans will get and love (I Won't spoil). Its nice to see Docter Kleiner and Eli and actually recognize them......even if Eli does have both his legs :P

There are some minor variances in gameplay and events, but non that really drive away from the original. The concept of using flares to ignite zombies (Pulled from HL:2 ect) via gas leaks or by throwing it at them are such an example and the concept of actually being able to pick up objects is also used in minor situations.......like to lend a hand to a guy stuck on the john ;)

So far loving it immensely. Being able to go back and play a game that had a real impact on my gaming life in a new coat of super glossy enamel paint is just awesome. Would have easily & happily paid for this.

Is this on steam or still have to download the beta from online somewhere?
I'd prefer to wait for steam then at least its easier ot get than try to download from some shitty torrent.

Go here for a list of mirrors

Easy pick should be games.on.net

You'll need to sign up first to access the download. Easy process, which then adds the game to your steam games list anyway. Don't know if it will be available on steam direct
