As amazing as the graphics are... nobody's even mentioned the music! The stuff on the main page is VERY good, though maybe not quite in the Valvian style...

@allyjweir: CO-OP? HOLY SH!T!

YEY co-op

i wouldnt be surprised if Valve put this on steam for everyone to download or went the way they went with Garrys Mod

I'd be impressed enough if this was official, but a fan-made mod!? Wow!
I hope it plays like it should- Half-Life 2 with the story and locations from Half-Life 1.

More motivation to put Half Life back into rotation for another play thru. What a classic. This mod looks just fantastic. I'm getting tired of waiting for the good stuff that's out there on the horizon; I want it now!

everyone's donating to Valve and everything

This isn't being made by Valve. This is a fan-made project, which is what makes it even more amazing.

Stupid crappy Youtube quality is making me misjudge the graphics. Guess it's a long-ass d/l for me, then...

Magnificent. These guys should get together with the team Fortress Forever team and do a dual launch.

The mod won the unreleased mod of the year award on the moddb, and rightly so because it looks fucking awesome.

This is the sex indeed!

For a while I actually thought they were dead untill recently, but this team has proven to be determined to do this with as much respect as HL1 deserves.

@blacksamurai87: This is 3rd party all the way homie ;]

Donation sent.

I don't have money, so I won't be donating anything. However, that mod simply can't come out fast enough!

This mod puts a grin on my face every time I see anything about it. So... I'm gonna donate $100 towards the cause--positively everything these guys are doing screams quality.

That's the real-deal Source engine (hence - Black Mesa: Source) right there folks; that's complete NBS. I can't wait till they're done. It's taken time, but it looks perfect.

Kyouryuu — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 22:31:30 MST

Oh, I'm sure that's in engine. Obviously the transitions between shots aren't, but I'd be very confident those are in the Source Engine. Those types of interiors are more than achievable.

Great presentation and music.

Only real comment would be that I hope they get a bit more colorful with the interiors. I like stark white lighting as much as the next guy, but I think a few well-placed splashes of color variance would go a long way.

Dude holy shit. Those can NOT be ingame, but...that is definitely Source water.

These are probably the best (aside from TF2 and Portal's motion blur/DoF) Source graphics I've ever seen.

Man I feel bad for you, Zho. I replay HL1, Opposing Forces & Blue Shift every couple years. I'd love to replay them all with improved graphics anytime!

...I'm the same sort of person who rereads favorite books repeatedly as well.

Im with Zho. Just seeing a shrt clip of each area brings back memories.

Still, it'll be lots of fun to do it again, maybe they'll add some extras in therejust to spice things up..

Anyone know when this thing is due?

Gahhhh. I remember just about EVERY part of that teaser....I'd love to play this once it's possible but I think I remember too much of the game for it to be any fun aside from eye-candy...
