Welcome back Mr. Freeman, Black mesa is now available on Early Access, Black Mesa is what we had all hoped half life source would have been, a total re invisoning of the Classic brought up to date with higher definition models, textures and more.
Crowbar collective state. “Making a game with the scope and scale of Black Mesa is a massive undertaking. Back in 2012 we made the decision to release what we had completed up to that point, and were blown away by the community’s response, feedback, and improvements to our work. We want to keep that relationship alive and well by using Early Access as a tool for allowing our community to participate in the final phase of Black Mesa’s development.
In addition, our ambitions go beyond the original Xen chapters found in Half-Life. We have a standard of quality that we have to achieve. Early Access allows us to commit resources to bring you the remaining chapters with the quality that you expect.”
"We currently have the first ~85% of our single player campaign completed. For the last 15% we want to not only recreate it, but improve upon it to make it an enjoyable and memorable experience. We feel it will take us considerable time to get the last 15% up to our standards, and putting a time estimate on it would be a total guess.”
This EA release sees you playing over 10 hours of single player campaign. Multiplayer deathmatch and team deathmatch with 6 completely re-imagined Half-Life 1 maps on the Source Engine.
Happy Birthday Half-life!

This mod is amazing! Feels like i'm playing a Valve's game, not a modification.
Now i understand what people felt like in 1998.

I'm just waiting for a new update because the game is now very stuttering and still no flashlight, so you see every change is no improvement. Hopefully it will be better after that.
Just now an update of 15 GB hmm, is it with Xen, i don't know.
Save games don't work anymore.
But you can start the last chapter.
You still need the codes to get it lighter.
Look a few comments a go.
****, the flashlight don't work anymore.
Nope no Xen.
can someone create a gameplay fix? the amount of ammo you can carry and the combat are both pretty bad. I want a fix that make the combat closer to the original half life
Black Mesa. This mod is much better than this stupid game, where frank killed my storyline. Excuse but now i must someone important to hunt.

Happy anniversary, Half-Life!!
Hi,
What's the difference between this version, and the paid version on Steam? Is there more content in the Steam release? I wanted to give it a try and see what all the hype is about.
The Xen update (hopefully coming this year) will only be released for the steam version.
Thanks for the responses. I love Half Life, so I wanted to give it a try and see if it was faithful to the original. The difficulty feels really hard for some reason like one soldier can drain your 100hp/100shield in a second. Other than that, the levels seem really faithful to the original.
For example the Steam version has the most recent version of the Source Engine, ergo it has better graphics and features.
Alot more content in the steam version, yes.
