I must admit, I'm totally in love with the perspective of playing my favourite Half-Life expansion pack with Source engine, and I heartfully support your project, but there is one thing that feels wrong here: the title.
"Operation: Black Mesa" sound pretty cheap, quite inadequate for such a production. I guess you want to keep the connection to the "Black Mesa" project (that HL1 Source remake), but upon a closer look it just feels silly. The name of the operation should not give away what it was all about. For example, Operation Labrador, or Operation Tempest, or Operation Opera. These names tell you nothing, right? And that's their purpose. Operation: Black Mesa just gives out everything you need to know. If someone starts to dig in the papers, he'll find out about what was supposed to be silenced and erased from history.
Why didn't you just call it "Operation: Opposing Force", I wonder? Because unless you had copyright problems, I think it sounds way better. Does not give out any details about the operation; corresponds well with real-life names of U.S. operations (i.e. Operation Enduring Freedom, or Operation Earnest Will, or most importantly Operation Allied Force); and connects the game with its predecessor, HL:OF.
I hope I didn't discourage you in any way, I just wanted to voice my opinion about the title. Other than that, keep up the good work!
