I heard a lot of people saying someone was redoing HL1 but with the graphics of HL2. I heard this over a year ago and a lot of people were talking about it. So what happened? Where is it? I would REALLY like to play that as I like HL1 a lot more than HL2. I would love to see all the HL1 sequels redone, especially Opposing Force.

HL2 was redone for the 360. Thats about all I know about any HL-related 'remasters'.

There's no actualgame like that, but Black Mesa Source (aka HL with HL2 graphics)is a mod. It's not out quite yet though.

Half-life Source can be obtained from Steam and is a conversion of half-life into the source engine by valve. However it uses all the old models and textures, so while stuff like water looks amazing, the rest looks a bit less good. The black mesa mod is a conversion changing models as well but is unoffical so nobody really knows when it will actually be finished although it does look amazing.

Well I have Half-Life Source which is simply a move of assets from HL1 to the Source engine. It is the whole game and it not a mod exactly. Some things like water etc. look alot better in HL: Source than HL1, but for the most part it is the same just a little higher quality graphics.

Ya, theyre too busy holding contests to win Alienware computers, in addition to making freaking bumper stickers. oh ya, and they problably put about 40 hours intoa model (the yellow crate loader) that appears in-game for about 20 seconds as you ride the tram. Oh ya, and theyre making their own music as well which, while cool, is again a waste of time.

Listen, they are doing a good thing, but this mod should have been done loooooooong ago. I mean, they had everything planned out for them, all they need was to transfer it over to the source engine. That should take like 2 years.

Instead, their mod has reached celebrity status, now they think theyre rockstars.

Get the f*** back to work, Black Mesa Source. You are the ultimate c***tease of the Halflife mod community.

I've also heard about a remake of HL1 with HL2 graphics back when HL2 was released and but I haven't heard anything about it in a couple of years.

Ya, I was a bit harsh. But what can I say, I have been following this mod since it was announced, and I have seen how their popularity has deterred them. Bumper stickers? Contests? comeon, am I the only one thinking "WTF mate?"

Oh, and if I werent busy doing real-life things (like trying to graduate from college, working) and ifI were interested in making mods, then I might have contributed. But since a "where is your version" question is bogus to begin with, whatever man. Thats like asking a 12 year old who is complaining about the Iraq War "well, why dont YOU go do something about it?"

I cant be the only Halflife fan upset with this mod team.

LOL yeah I agree with you. Seems like I heard about this mod A LONG A$$ TIME AGO. Thats why I started this thread. I cant believe its not done yet. And why would anyone want a bumper sticker about a half-life mod?

The fact of the matter is, it's happening and it'll come out when it's done. If none of us are making it and no company is doing it, then those guys are our only hope to see Half Life breathe new life. Plus they'll offer it up for free and you can't beat that, so go Black Mesa SOurce team, I'll be downloading that shtuff as soon as it's out, till then I'll be playing QFII remake that's coming out soon from AGDInteractive. Love my old Quest For Glory games.

I have to agree.. by the time its finished.. why even bother? I'm not even that interested in it anymore.. sure it will be cool to play through once completed.. but I'm not going to be holding my breath..

However.. I will be waiting eagerly for HL2: Episode 3.. does he actually die? hmmm nice cliff hanger there..

Also being able to see the laboratories of Portal.. if you caught the technology firm name of Portal .. the ship you will be sent to is made by that same Portal team.. so the possibility of the portal gun in the HL2 world is pretty cool..

First off that is a dick move to put that big a spoiler in a public post FYI. Secondly I really hope they don't add the portal gun to Ep 3. That would be very lame IMO. Since Portal is part of the HL universe its possible, but it seems to me that the portal device would have been developed AFTER the Borealis disappeared since it was the first teleportation experiment, so here is hoping no portal gun in Ep3.
