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:
- Authentic weapon firing simulation and iron sights aiming system;
- Close to real models of HECU soldiers – including uniform and gear;
- Weapon models created according to existing samples;
- Realistic player camera and footsteps simulation;
- Vehicles added - player would be able to drive some;
- Calculation of character’s stock power amount;
- Lots of tasks involving physics;
- Improved enemy AI;
- HDR-lighting;
- Rather than in the original Blue Shift the storyline is presented in another view;
- Expanded plot, even new chapters are added;
- Multiplayer mode.

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.
Team. We are from Russia But don't have any name. Yet.
I think that's all. Thanks for your attention. Now - you ought to visit our profile. I am sure, you'll like it.

This is by far the best Blue Shift remake out today. Don't worry about any others, so far you guys have done far better work then them.
Hey! Thanx for your words :) I advise you to visit the News/Features tred. I posted some information there but, unfortunately, it was not published on the main MOD db page. So, read it! And tell your friends about the project! :) Muogagaga!
That's almost Black Mesa (Source) quality right there! Damn fine work for sure.
Hi guys. Just cheking... :)
DarMan: Jup! By another mod called Blue Mesa or Calhoun's Call. Personally, i really hope that the 2 mods will merge!
Wait a minute...
Isn't this already being done? o.O
Awesome!
There was once a time when "New HL2 mod" meant a newbish attempt at filling palette swapped City 17 maps zombies and Alyx soldiers, but no more! Really looking forward to this, guys, keep up the good work!
When Kal is watching ye know its good. :P
You don't have an English website? Thats too bad. And if you do, I don't read Russian (I think thats what that is) well enough to find the button to get to it. I would HIGHLY recommend making a translated site seeing as how MODDB and PHL are both English websites.
Do you have a military adviser? I would suggest you remove the flag from the camel back and IBA (vest). Thats far from accurate, and change the helmet and face mask to desert tan, along with the boots, or at least make the face mask OD green and give the poor guy a helmet cover that matches his uniform. The model does look very good though.
The 203 needs a safty! Don't want that grenade launcher going off and killing everyone :P. Also, the 203 rounds are far to small. Model looks great though other than that. Especially the Glock.
