Looks like a date is finally up!

For anyone not aware, its a third party conversion of Half Life 1 into the source engine with some gameplay changes/updates. In other words, its a mod for HL2 that seeks to recreate HL1 as faithfully as possible.
Gameplay footage below. *Warning* Some minor language issues (in game) occur in the footage.
Also, its free!

I remember following this when it was first announced. It's awesome to finally see it released (again).

EDIT: looked it up its 14 out 18 chapters so the bulk of the game.
That's what I heard as well.
Which seems really odd to me considering the mindset they seemed to have on the project.

The only part of Xen I remember disliking is the jumping one. You fall into the hole and get launched up... I always used noclip on that level.

I just can't wait to hear how they've blended in the new soundtrack they've put together. All of that music is totally amazing and I cant wait to see how its implemented. Still wish that the Black Mesa Source Theme could have been added to the game. Best song of them all in my opinion!
