It's a mod, made by fans of the original game. Meaning that if you have a source engine game, it's free. An arm and a leg? Hardly.xmetatr0nx said:

OT: Of course, this mod has been in development for ages, and I've seen far too many cool looking total conversions die to follow them breathlessly any more. (Nuclear Dawn, anyone?)
It does look really cool. I'm not sure how necessary it is though; the original Half Life is still loads of fun. The only way this could be a significant improvement is if they have some characters, rather than generic scientists/guards.
It should be free considering its a mod and Valve have kindly not sued them and let them make it. If they charged for it I'd imagine valve might get a bit annoyed.xmetatr0nx said:
I actually couldn't get through Half-Life: Source, because the environments felt bland and it was just generally a bit boring.
Half-Life 2, on the other hand, is full of very different environments, lots of different character models, more story-driven etc.
I'll definitely give this a try.
Also.
I atleast read from multiple places that it was an April Fool's Joke.

Wasn't that an April Fool's Joke?Agayek said:

Valve in many cases has been rather cool people when it comes to private made Mods. They ain't whiny possessive girls like EA or Lucasarts. I'm looking forward to BM myself. As far as Gordon Freeman talking? I think you are thinking of Freeman's Mind, from Machinima.com. I find those vids hilarious but I don't see BM giving Freeman a voice. Gordon keeps his thoughts to himself, though I imagine they would sound more like Nodwick ( http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/index.htm ). Maybe when the G-Man leaves the poor guy alone, he'll open up.

APRIL'S FOOL!!!!!!!!!! 1 month over and people are still falling for it! Fantastic!Agayek said:
How do you know it wont be avaible in Steam? Valve has put numerous mods in Steam. And if they really dont need to worry with people downloading Black Mesa instead of buying HL1. HL has already sold over 11 million units. There was a time that HL was selling cheaper than bottles of water.Areani said:
And people need to have a source game with the OB engine meaning Valve is making money already.
Its necessary for the mod makers.orannis62 said:
If they pull it off its something they can include on their curriculum and get into professional gaming developers.
