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.

If they won't tell us at least something about progress in upcoming 2 weeks, then its really dead. But its not fair to keep us in nescience. And I think its really dead. Its really shame...

Now this mod certainly gives Black Mesa Source a run for it's money. Keep the faith, and the rest will follow. Oh, I just love the Hummer. I know you didn't drive in the original, but could we use the Hummer - even if it's for ramming a large door down with.

Is this mod still active, because there's hardly any activity on their forums. It'd be a shame if this mod dies :(
