i dont get it, its a half-life 2 mod thats a remake of the first half-life?

i really dont understand it when people make mods that are just remakes of old games.

is there something i'm missing? or is it just because i have never played half-life? this seems like its almost piracy to me, but i'm not an expert on copyright laws and such.

my apologies for the terrible sentence order, i'm tired and dont think i did that right...
(i might fix it tomorrow, when i'm awake more)

Well, yes it is a remake of the original Half-Life with HL2's Engine and models, but consider this:
The original had crappy graphics and minor glitches, but incredible game-play. Judging by some of the voice acting and animation, the characters in Black Mesa seem a bit more realistic compared to the original. Hopefully, the scientists will actually run away from Headcrab Zombies instead of getting slashed to death. Heck, I think I recall Dr. Kleiner and Eli Vance appearing in-game, so the mod will give some background to the characters that appeared in HL2. As for piracy comment, Valve has shown interest in this Mod for a few years. And if they had a problem about it, I doubt the mod would come this far.

Crazy is as crazy does.

It's not an exact remake. The beginning is slightly different, you can kill the headcrab-zombies using some conveniently placed gas leaks for example, and there are some of the small physics "puzzles" that HL2 has. So far, it's been good fun, definitely worth the download.

I might download it, but I may wait a while to see if any updates are made.

Sooo... What do you think about the game?

Never use Logic to solve a puzzle, he's an idiot...

It was awesome, highly detailed and re-imagined. Except I didn't like the Marines that hit you with every single bullet and Vortigaunts shoots with their lazors bit too fast. Otherwise, worth wait and play :D
