Like Valve tried to do with Half Life Source. That was awful!!!

Oh yes.....that! It didn't even look good!

[Rawns]

It's a no-brainer...

LOL! What did they do in the original source conversion!?

The only thing I remember about it was the water effects and semi-awful shadows. The rest was just like playing the original Half-Life.

Black Mesa Source is what they SHOULD have done.

Had 10 minutes last night before going out so I sat and did the train ride intro with a cup of tea, so many good memories!

[Rawns]

Wonder if they are planning on redoing the add-ons as well?

Wow is it there ;P Heard it was comming in september. Lets give it a look. Looked like vaborware

Blue Shift wasn't amazing but I hope they re-do opposing force, that was great!

Sod those! I found a mod one time, of which I forget the name, that created a whole new campaign to play (that happed simultaneously with the resonance cascade) as a Vortigaunt. Fun!

Wow that sounds fun! Any idea what it might have been called or where you got it?

Well, I'm very impressed
There are a couple of glitches I feel (none that prevent gameplay though) and it seems to be a lot less generous with ammunition and HEV suit and medical points from what I remember of the original. And you can't seem to jump quite as high. Or perhaps I'm just getting older!
Anyway, it's a hell of a lot better than HL Source!

I appear to now be stuck :-( I have just entered the office blocks but when ever I use my flash light, the game crashes and I have to re-load it.

After a bit of Googling, it's called 'Point of View'.. I never actually completed it, might have to redownload it. No idea where I got it, but by now it's probably on ModDB or Desura.
