Operation: Black Mesa Gets the Big Green Light
In April of last year a source remake of Half-Life: Opposing Force called Operation: Black Mesa got through Valve's Greenlight program and things got serious. Since then, the team at Tripmine Studios have been beavering away and sometime in the next couple of months a Multiplayer Beta is due out.
Planned features of the game include:
- Complete re-creation of all 12 chapters from the original.
- Models that push the limits of the Source Engine.
- Multiplayer, including Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch with all the original levels fleshed out. New voices, sounds, and visuals to truly immerse you in the Black Mesa incident.
- Level Design tweaks to utilize the advanced physics engine introduced in Half Life 2.
- A remixed soundtrack including enhanced music from the original along with all new ones.
- Extended Single Player experience, with new areas and new monsters filling in gaps left in the original.
- Immersive scenes that make you really feel for the employees of the Facility.
Tripmine are beavering away at this and the last video released back in May of 2013 shows the A.I in this mod is going to be something special. It's included below for your perusal.
