I find little else to say as this mod is so amazing I am lost for words trying to explain how highly I respect this remake and the dev team behind it was done such an amazing job. The quality of work is of the highest I have seen in a mod and it is a 'Valve' level of quality product. This game is certainly on par with the original quality of story wise. Enemies are more intelligent and look amazing. Some levels are slightly different but I found them very fluid and I believe they were worked to make the story more cohesive. Now to sum it up would be 'a masterpiece'.The graphics have been totally revamped, characters (scientists, guards, etc.) have totally remade models and are now different from one another not the same guard over and over, the textures and other props have been replaced with higher quality ones. Black Mesa is a complete remake of Half-life. Some levels are slightly Ok where to start. It's faithful to the original, and yet creates this bizarre sense of deja vu with Half-Life 2 - making them feel like one contiguous game, no longer separated by 6 years or different engines. These are not modders, they're developers - and have made a shining masterpiece which raises the bar on third-party game development in the source engine.

The additions (of which there are a few) utilize the source engine's physics and graphics in ways that remind you of Half-Life 2. Having played Half-Life 1, this game left me without a single gripe or complaint regarding it's faithfulness to the original. They created this game (save for a few sound bites, etc) from the ground up - in an impressive feat not many could accomplish. Black Mesa transcends the level of 'modification' - they didn't modify anything. The amount of dedication, passion, and love the developers put into this game is immediately apparent as you explore the depths of Black Mesa, and uncover the secrets of this research facility. Black Mesa transcends the level of 'modification' - Black Mesa has the polish synonymous with a Valve property, and has surpassed all expectations in light of the sheer difficulty of the project.
