It's a mod for Half-Life 2 that lets you play the original Half-Life game in the Source engine.
Have fun everybody!

For those having trouble with the torrent, use GameFront instead. Took me less than an hour.

The remake is fantastic!!! Look for my review when the rest of the game is released.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] theshadowstriker And to Pheonix Phire, I dunno how to use a torrent.[/quote]Ya, then I'd just recommend either looking it up on youtube or just killing time by playing another game.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] theshadowstriker I'll try that, then. It took me six hours because my internets hates me.[/quote]Yeah, same here. If you CAN use a torrent though, I'd recommend it (if you know how to torrent). It would probably go faster.

[/quote]Some people can't use torrent. I can't use torrent at my university because the U network bans all torrents and torrent software, because they might be sued for pirated content. Probably the same case with this dude.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] el3phants I gotta say, these guys did an excellent job of bringing the original half life to the source engine. If It wasn't free, I would've purchased it.[/quote] You will be able to buy it though....I think.... Black Mesa is one of the 10 games coming to Steam from Greenlight. I'm assuming the reason why you would have to pay for that version of it is because it's stand a lone....but really.....so is the mod. DOesn't make much sense to me....but whatever.
