Operation: Black Mesa is a total Source remake of Half Life: Opposing Force. Using the Source engine, the developers plan to recreate the Black Mesa research Facility as it was seen by Corporal Adrian Shephard of the H.E.C.U. Half-life: Opposing Force is still an amazing game, although it is not nearly as amazing as it was when it was released.

Screenshots for the April Media Release
I'm sorry, I love the model, but the texture just seems... off. I think it might be the color, just a bit too blue.
I think it should all look more like the lighter blue bits, that sort of color.
Hmm.... Something is a bit off, I think the blue is a bit too blue, how about a lighter blue, maybe emerald green.
Model good, the color seems slightly off
It just need a darker and more rugged looking texture that is all.
But the model looks terrific.
Agree with the guys above, it needs a little more green to it.
I really like the color (perhaps add a tinker of green or purple, both might work out)
However, I think the specular map on the right version looks a bit unspecular. :P
I love the iridescent material, but it's way too blue.
Nice! I think the texture is perfect!
Awesome Model. Nice job
it needs some GLOW TEXTURES!!!!
Looks like a redone portal gun O.O
This thing predates the portal gun so its more like the portal gun was a redone shock roach. same thing goes for the gravity gun in HL2.
Blue skin is cool ! :D

The texture makes it look like its for a game from 2002.
Adman, stop being a shmuck. Your trolling isn't working, now go back to your bridge.
Also, everything's epic, but, as everyone else says, it needs a bit more green and gray.
Looks awsome!Love the model and texture.
Super blue!!
overall the model looks good but i think it is too fleshy it needs to look more like a carapace of an arthropod (segmented limbs and abdomen maybe give it electric blue luminescence around those lighter areas) especially since the player will be looking at it up close
Wasn't the colour green in the original? but still this looks INSANE!
Awesome color, hope you won't change the model in any way.Think it's one of your top models!
Good luck guys.
It looks like it is made of plastic
Darker skin tone would be better.
NICE! Blue is my fav. colour :)
Looks like a beetle, looks perfect. maybe make it more dark-greenish instead of blue.
11 years later, I still don't really agree with what people were saying about the colors.
I think the vibrant blue is great as it still looks plenty faithful to the original while also making it easier to spot on the floor (which is important as the thing is both a very valuable pickup and an annoying enemy), and all the other colors besides the more vibrant blue are basically straight from the original. I like how it looks very vibrant while also looking quite believable as an alien creature, and the neat iridescent shading also adds to that believability. I just love how it looks genuinely alien rather than taking clear inspiration from Earth insects or some other Earth creature (which is something that's kinda overdone in my opinion - aliens should generally look organic but still distinctly alien imo).
I'm sure you guys have listened to all the feedback here and made changes to the thing (or more likely completely remade it) in the 11 years since this image was posted, but I still really like this design and would be happy to see it in the final game.
