Black Mesa Source, possibly the greatest and most anticipated mod of all time, has been released today after eight years of community development, to accolades. Initial feedback is extremely positive and the levels of detail are amazing, especially considering the game is entirely free to play, based off an older engine, it still outdoes many modern release, paid titles.
For gamers who remember the impact that half life 1 made to the gaming community in 1999, now it has been completely remade by the fan community with some support from the original makers and ported to the source engine.



This is the intro tram run :)


Is this the next direction games can take? Fully open source?

Recorded this at 1440p maxed other than 4XMSAA so if you can take advantage of that resolution, run it above 1080 at 'original' resolution. I've been waiting eight years for it, so I'll see you all tomorrow when I come out of my gaming cocoon ;P

Enjoy the memories.
