You do know that valve already ported Half Life to the new source engine , if you dont want to wait until december (There is a 978676355626763276732673276% chance this date will slip to 2010 and a 982877387637763663767226% chance the mod will die after that)

Half Life: Source isn't really worth playing from what I hear? Its a few new graphics, Black Mesa is a complete remake.

Its the hydra I believe, but I think it was all scripted and couldn't really be done in game, so it got ditched.

When in doubt, read The Final Hours of Half Life 2. :) http://au.gamespot.com/features/6112889/

Yes it's the Hydra, yes it was cut, yes that scene was scripted, no it had proper AI, yes it was a bad enemy to fight. Basically, when fighting the hydra you saw a flash of blue then you died, it was fun to watch it attacking other NPC's, but not you.

As for HL:S, It's pretty much a 1:1 port to Source, except it has better physics and ragdolls. There are a few packs that add more features (Source gives it normal maps, refraction, etc.), but BM:S is a brand new game based on HL1 (best way I can think of to describe it).

This thread isn't irrelevant. I wanted to post my boundless excitement for this absolutely stunning recreation. Keep your silly sarcasm to yourself.

If the thread wasn't relevant, why post?

Thanks for posting about your excitement, next time why not run around your back yard? ;) hehe

And no, I have a habit of expressing my "silly sarcasm" at all times in all places, you'll just have to deal! :)

Deal with the fact you're an arrogant douche?

I said the thread "wasn't irrelevant". That's a double negative. Improve your reading skills and deal with my counter-sarcasm skills.

The trailer for Black Mesa Source did say it will launch in 2009. Let's see what happens. This remake, the recreation of a new story in Deus Ex: Machina; it's really quite something to see the mod community put so much effort into games they love.

I think it'll be worth the wait. A late-2009 release date, as listed in Wikipedia, isn't too far off. And judging from the trailer, it seems that they have converted everything from the GoldSrc engine to the Source engine. I am looking forward to finally playing Half-Life. I've tried playing it and found it boring because of the outdated graphics. Half-Life: Source had me excited, but that excitement soon vanished when I realized that it was a mere "micro port" of the original game. All in all, watch the trailer and think about the fact that this amazing mod will be available at no charge.

      Nice rant! Expletive after expletive after expletive. Poor petal, I've touched a nerve. Would you like a tissue to wipe those tears away. Btw, nice one calling Neowin trash. Why would you stick around when you disrespect this site and the people behind it? Just go away if you feel that way.

      Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1 by Razvan Serea Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 8 times due to its smart dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. The program supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and video content processing. IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it. You don't need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as you usually do. IDM will catch your downloads and accelerate them. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols. Changes in Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1: Added the ability to download MP4 files from web sites where previously only TS videos were available. IDM displays both TS and MP4 file formats in its video download button. If you only need MP4 files, disable TS in IDM Options -> General tab -> Customize IDM Download panels in browsers -> Edit button. Remove TS extension on "Customize IDM Download panel in browsres" dialog Fixed video downloading problems on several popular web sites Fixed bugs Download: Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1 | 11.9 MB (Shareware) Links: Internet Download Manager Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      This is of course "clickbait" WTF? It is literally your example but tech based. A "clickbait" title is a sensationalized headline designed to manipulate readers into clicking a link using things like "fear" rather than delivering objective facts. A "clickbait" headline also usually provides little value compared to the hype generated. How does this headline not qualify? It's a generic often reused headline that is overly sensationalized. Oh no! "millions" can't use this app anymore. It has no basic facts like what f*cking app. You read the article and it's the Samsung VPN which no one cares about and there is a million free VPNs. How are you defending this ######? Headlines like this (and among other things) make me read Neowin much less than I used to in the past. It's trash...
