Half-Life 2 - Black Mesa Mod Official Trailer (HD)

Does anyone know if this mod is a traditional free-of-charge mod?

It's free of charge afaik. It's been in development for years. I doubt it has the fanbase it once had. But it will still be cool.

They could not charge money for this mod even if they wanted to, it is a recreation of an existing game, not an original mod.It is however bloody awesome :D

Looks excellent.I guess the fanbase is still huge, as it would basically be the same people who are fans of the original HL.

I remember when Valve were talking about releasing the original Half Life made in Source, still waiting. Though if the trailer is anything to go by these guys have done better than Valve would have.Pride is a much better motivator than cash, and these guys have a lot of proud of.

Well thats the thing, Valve did make HL1 using source, and it blew cause they didn't do a real source version, and these guys said they would do the TRUE source version.I even hear they're willing to do the expansions, like Opposing Force, and even Blue Shift, so I can't wait to even see those pop out.
