Features:

  • The main idea is to recreate the improvements and level design from Black Mesa but on the original game's engine, with optimizations, bug fixes, and the restoration of previously cut scenes and puzzles.

  • It retains the story campaign of Half‑Life, including reimagined and enhanced areas like "We've Got Hostiles" and "Office Complex". It allows free exploration of levels, solving puzzles, and engaging in battles through the original GoldSrc engine mechanics.

  • Borrowing textures and models from the original, the mod offers improved effects, dynamic lighting, reworked particles, tracers, and enhanced weapon and character models - all within the capabilities of the GoldSrc engine.

  • The mod is well optimized and can run on almost any computer. The goal is to let players enjoy Black Mesa's visuals and content while maintaining the accessibility of the original Half-Life.
