Should be out in time to play it, Op4, BS, HL2, Ep 1 and 2 . . .just in time for Ep3. Should keep me out of trouble for a while.

Time for a bump for this thread I think!

Officially the release is 2009, so 41 days till 2010, means it should be available by then! I am betting on December the 31st!

I'm betting on it not happening just like every other release 'date' they've given in the past.

I'm betting it will be 2010.

Whilst previous release date failures would suggest such. This time, the devs seem to be sticking to their guns, and the announcement that they are dropping MP support from the first release would suggest to me that they were keen to get it out there ASAP

wow I just realised they are "overhauling" half life deathmatch aswell. This could be really ace.

Pls do the same with CS!

...or before they die of old age maybe

Adsta · 20 Nov 2009 at 14:36

My guess, 2011

I wish it was soon but it really does look unlikely

I rocken Xen is takening them ages to do.

also the source engine doesn't accept different damage stats(forget technical term) for different materials, so the old armoured soldiers will take the same amount of damage where ever you hit them (like in valves source version of hl1)

Half life 1 was the first ever single player game I played on my first pc, I remember being blown away by it. What a game! Cant wait for this mod.

Yea, Xen has probably been giving them a lot of grief, Blast Pit and On A Rail have been finished for ages

I am really looking forward to playing this, i don't think i have replayed the original for a long time, although i have played HL2 many times.

Steveo1982 · 20 Nov 2009 at 15:04

Been following this myself for ages. Will be good to finally get back to black mesa!

bunga_aj · 20 Nov 2009 at 15:19

I will literally jizz myself if I see a concrete release date for this.

Chandler_90 · 20 Nov 2009 at 15:22

I imagine it could be a world record for the amount of people that will do that at the same time lol...

Me included.. I'm gonna have to wear a nappy while playing to aid against the mess...

Goldfingers · 20 Nov 2009 at 15:33

I despise this mod. Images and concept art was released only months after hl2 shipped. And I was eagerly awaiting then. And it still isn't out WTH. They should have at least released a demo, or maby done the game in episodes/parts. Just ridiculous.

And yeah 2011/2012 or never is what I'am banking on. Will look pretty dated by then, so I doubt I'll have the urge to play through it.

Orcish-Horde · 20 Nov 2009 at 16:12

It looks great shame I feel ill after about 30 minutes of playing HL2, its the only game that does that to me. If this ever gets finished a going to have to get some sea sickness tablets.

lol,I love the way people expect it to be done quickly, The task is done in free time, has a disjointed team around the globe, and is a very difficult project!

It will be done when it is done.
