Operation Black Mesa is a total remake of Half-Life: Opposing Force. Utilizing the Source engine, Tripmine Studios plans to recreate the Black Mesa Research Facility from the ground up, as seen by the protagonist, Adrian Shephard.


Planned Features
• As a total conversion mod, Operation Black Mesa aims to be composed custom content entirely.
• All original maps re-created and re-envisioned for better realism and gameplay.
• Some maps are enlarged / extended to create a more lengthy and immersive experience.
• Improved AI, making enemies smarter and combat more dynamic.
• More enemy encounters to keep the action fresh.
• Scripted scenes with all the original Opposing Force characters to help bring the story to life.
• Textures and models pushing the limits of the Source engine, to bring you as much artistic detail as possible.
• New voice acting, new sound assets and a new soundtrack.
• Multiplayer that will bring back the classic gameplay, but also many new features, maps and game modes!
• Guard Duty, a remake of Half-Life: Blue shift is also being developed as DLC for Operation: Black Mesa.

Greetings!I hope you all had a great start to 2022. We sure did! And even if most of us had spent our holiday time with families and close friends, we haven´t stopped working hard on Operation: Black Mesa and Guard Duty.


As always, it was hell of a ride for us at Tripmine Studios. This year was once again very important in regards to the progress. Not only that we are pumping out assets, keeping on assembling levels, but we have also managed to bring a lot of important new features to the Source engine, such as PBR rendering. Thanks to enormous efforts from our programming team, Source Engine looks better than ever.

And just right for Christmas, we have launched our Steam Store page, which was a climax of our traditional "Tripmas event". What are you waiting for? Head over there, and do not forget to add us to your wishlist! The event itself brought you some extra media from our game and even more was unleashed with the Steam store launch.


If you missed the Tripmas event, you can still go scroll through our Twitter or Facebook to find out all the goodies. And do not forget to join our Discord as well.

Do you ever attend any car meet-ups?

Basically a place were car enthusiasts, gather around and showcase the cars they’ve got and cool modification they’ve done to them?

There is a question about enemies in the opposing force. Are there more skirmishes planned in the game with black ops vehicles like black tank or black osprey?

Having a tank and an osprey for the blackops goes directly against the covert and stealthy theme of the black ops. It wouldn't make any sense.
With that being said, you'll just have to wait until release to see what new gameplay encounters we add ;)

I can't blame you folks for switching the Source engine 2007/2013 to the commercial engine with it's latest features due to how dated the Source 2007/2013 based on HL2EP2 is, and how advanced the other game engines (eg UDK 5) are. Well hope it goes well when game comes out at the end.

Wow! Is it a completely remade game, or is it made inside Black-Mesa?

We have nothing to do with Black Mesa.
