Operation Black Mesa is a total Source conversion of Half Life: Opposing Force.
Half-life: Opposing Force is still an amazing game, although its not nearly as amazing as it was when it was released. Using the Source engine, the developpers plan to recreate the Black Mesa research Facility as it was seen by Corporal Adrian Shepard of the H.E.C.U.
VALVe Software originally had plans to port Half-life: Opposing force into the source engine (announced at E3 2004) much like they did Half Life: Source, but after seeing the results of Half life: Source the Operation Black Mesa devteam decided that it wouldn't be worth the wait, and thus took the task into our own hands.
A list of features planned for the final release:
» Complete re-creation of all 12 chapters from the original.
» Models that push the limits of the Source Engine.
» Multiplayer, including Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch with all the original levels fleshed out.
» New voices, sounds, and visuals to truly immerse you in the Black Mesa incident.
» Level Design tweaks to utilize the advanced physics engine introduced in Half Life 2.
» A remixed soundtrack including enhanced music from the original along with all new ones.
» Extended Single Player experience, with new areas and new monsters filling in gaps left in the original.
» Immersive scenes that make you really feel for the employees of the Facility.
» CTF may be included, But not in early releases.

Latest News: Operation Black Mesa Media Release 2
4 comments by Seldoon182 on Jan 1st, 2007 digg this super bookmark
Well we here at the Operation Black Mesa mod team are all very happy to announce another update. Although there has also been some bad news in the development of this project which we would wish to announce as well.
-Shortly after our first media release we merged with a small team that had the same goal in mind, to remake opposing force called Operation Firesweep: Source and submited by FrereDarme. At the time this appeared to have been a smart move as what we saw of there’s was both nice and would have been helpful in development. This team was composed of three members, the first of which was kicked shortly after due to inactivity. Not too long after that there mapper proved to be incompetent and we were forced to kick him.
We have a short script in development to help enhance, yet of course not directly change, the story and development of key characters. With this our concept artists are working hard on concepts of this.
In regards to the game experience our level designers have reconsidered certain maps following different criticisms. The different maps remain in constant development, including the multiplayer aspect of the game.
We still remain in dire need of a programmer, luckily our own "MadGernader" has moved on to help develop a HUD with the assistance of "Seldoon182" which remain under development.
Currently our only remaining modeler "Zim" is hard at work on rebuilding a majority of weapon models with a realistic design.
