eSports Modded: Black Mesa Source
By Staff Writer - CEVO|DeShong

Through the past month I've been searching for quality game modifications for a variety of games, and ironically, I came upon a beautiful one at that! The mod is Black Mesa: Source and it has got to be one of the most detailed modifications I've come across for a while. Not so much in the idea behind the mod, but more along the lines of physical environmental detail within the game. With some released media excerpts such as screenshots, 3D modeled gun renders, and audio clips, Black Mesa Source is shocking people all over!

To give you more of an idea of what Black Mesa: Source really is, I'll summarize it rather quickly.

In 2004, the BMS Development team decided to do a remake of the original Half-Life, but this time with greater detail, breathtaking environments, and all in all, a more enjoyable experience.

As many of you have seen, Valve released Half-Life: Source which was supposed to be a great remake to the legendary classic Half-Life. But unfortunately, the community received a rather less than average upgrade. And like many of us, the BMS Development team was disappointed, thus creating a new version entitled Black Mesa: Source.

There's a lot of content that the BMS Development team has already released and it can be found on their official website, www.blackmesasource.com! With astonishing map remakes, unbelievably detailed character models, this modification will be worth taking a look at.

Currently there is no set release date as you can guess, this type of work takes time. The BMS development team is at an internal alpha stage, but is looking to release in 2006 some time. For now, all we can do is drool at the beauty of the great work that the BMS development team has already done and continues doing!
