Did a search and couldnt find details of any posts relating to this.

LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BLINDING.

Their aim is to recreate Half Life 1 on the Source engine from the groud up :eek:

A mammoth task, but going by their website, if they can pull this off.... :cool:

Good point, but its not actually Half Life 1 is it.

The casual gamer wont know of its existence anyway.. and any serious fan will have HL1.

VALVE appear to be freindly towards their community so think theyell be OK with this.

At the end of the day, I think Valve know that Half Life 1 deserved a much better "SOURCE" treatment than it got so think theyre happy to let someone else have a go.

OMG - "HDR SHOT"

In the FAQ it says that HDR is a "Maybe" - Half Life 1 w/ HDR :eek:

Theres something to wet your whistle in the meantime.

I have been following this since late 2004... I soo want to play HL1 again... but have been delaying it untill this is released.

Now, I very really swear, but what the ****, That looks ******* awesome :eek:

Have been following this for a few years now and am still as excited about it.

No ETA as yet.

Has been at a stage of 50% completion for about 6 months now.

Has been in development since late 2004.

I dont mind the wait, should be the dogs danglies.

Could potentially be the "GOTY" when its released.

A little more information on the project.

Also, just to add, this does have an inbuilt Co-Op mode for the HL1 Campaign too.
