Tripmine Studios has shared a new trailer for Operation: Black Mesa. Operation: Black Mesa is a fan remake of the Half-Life Opposing Force and Blue Shift expansions. The trailer shows new gameplay from its latest build. So, make sure to give it a go.
For those unaware, Operation: Black Mesa features reimaginings of both Half-Life Opposing Force and Half-Life Blue Shift through two unique campaigns. Moreover, this fan game will be using the Source Engine, in a similar way that Black Mesa did before it. So, expect the remake to look way better than the original expansions.
As the team has noted, Operation: Black Mesa will include many engine upgrades and new graphics effects. It will also feature over 30 unique enemies and 18 weapons. Plus, it will have an expanded story to connect with the existing Half-Life lore. Not only that but you’ll be able to customize the game to your liking with a mod-friendly set of tools. Pretty cool, right?
Similarly to Black Mesa, Operation: Black Mesa looks really ambitious. For what it’s worth, there is no ETA for when it will come out. An despite that, I’m really looking forward to it.
Speaking of the first Half-Life game, there are some other cool mods that you can download for it. For instance, Black Mesa: Military lets you experience the events of Half-Life from the perspective of a Hazardous Environments Combat Unit Marine. Earlier this week we also shared the latest version of Brutal Half Life.
Then we have a mod that adds Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing to it. This is a must for everyone who wants to re-experience the main game. Thanks to Path Tracing, the game will look better than ever. So, be sure to download it.
Now, if you don’t want Path Tracing, you can use this AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack. This pack will overhaul all of the game’s textures. However, its lighting won’t change in any way. Thus, you’ll get an experience closer to the vanilla game.
Finally, we have Half-Life: Delta. Half-Life: Delta is a Total Conversion Mod, featuring 4 chapters and 31 gameplay maps. Oh, and there is a new Aliens-based TC Mod, called Solitary Echoes.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
