The trailer for Black Mesa: Source has finally been released. If you’re wondering what Black Mesa: Source is, its basically a recreation of Half Life 1 with the Orange Box engine. In other simpler terms, its Half Life 1 with Modern Half-Life 2/Left 4 Dead graphics. To say the trailer looks impressive doesn’t do justice, while the Mod itself was hovering over the “Vaporware” category recently, this trailer has certainly lit up the hopes again and lets hope we get to to play this amazing of a Mod one day.
