Hope you are ready for a lo-ong shift...
Barney's Tales is a total conversion of the original Half-Life Blue Shift add-on. Source Engine, used in mod, will allow us to visit the world of the scary Black Mesa Research Facility once more.
Security officer Barney Calhoun, undecided major, was going on his first shift in a research facility. He put on his uniform, got his Glock-18 in the armory and set out for the Sector 3. Suddenly, Barney felt an explosion and the lift he was going by fell down. Next thing he saw when consciousness returned was a strange alien creature tearing a scientist.
With the personnel and security officers at his side Barney must escape the Black Mesa before it becomes a blazing crater...
The development team is working at some innovations of Barney's Tales:

Greetings, I am Kub. Two days ago I registered here a Half-Life 2 mod called Barney's tales. It is a total remake of Blue Shift add-on. This mod has been developed for already 3 months and I think team has done much. Firstly , I'd love to type some words about website. The present one is only a temporary variant and soon you will be able to see a real Macromedia Flash miracle . Then about the whole project. It is not one-day dream. The team has very great ambitious and won't give up the modification. I think that Batney's Tales has a great potential and may be soon we will be able to compete with Black and Blue Mesas media. I suppose that there will be one media-release each month. Or even more. Yesterday I did not uploaded all images in the gallery - but now there are 9 screens and one render. See them for yourself.

Perhaps if you see a map you like you could ask the author for it.
Awsome 40% complete sounds good and out this year, even better.
I'm definitely watching this ! :)
your barney looks like a football player
Don't change it too much. Try to keep it somewhat close to the original.
If you are going to change it heaps you can't really call it a blue shift remake...
Hmm yeah im not sure about changing too much of the story... Half-Life already has a very intricate and subtle, yet complex storyline. Changing too much may lead to plotholes or continuity errors... But hey, its your mod :P
I think Blue Shift: Black Mesa would be better than Barney's Tales for the title... but again.... your mod!
