:wtf: What's wrong with Half-Life: Source?

A valid question. Which I second.
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

:wtf: What's wrong with Half-Life: Source?

Half-Life Source is just a straight port of the GoldSrc models and scripts to the Source engine. BMS is a complete makeover that uses the original story and does all new models and music for it.

In other words, there's nothing wrong with it per se, just as there's nothing wrong with using FSO to play vanilla FS2, but there is room for improvement, you know?

So basically, Black Mesa is the MVPs version of Half-Life.

 No it isn't, Black Mesa aims to remake HL1, not make it HD, they remade the levels from scratch but kept the "game layout" of HL1.
It would be like remaking Freespace on Unreal Engine 3 and changing the levels to make use of new features (like having improved physics) and remove tedious things (like the nebula permanent EMP.)

In other words, exactly the opposite of MVP, which only wants to make Freespace HD.

Well, it happened before Half-Life 3 and/or HL2: Ep3.

Either Valve needs to hire these modders to work on their next installment, or someone needs to do a fanmade sequel. </arrogant>

Check this out, on the left you would have screenshots of Half-Life (HL:S is very identical) and on the right you would see the same area in the mod.

Until this actually releases, I'll say it won't be getting released.

Hypothetically speaking, were there any mods hosted here that said they were going to finish before BMS?  DNF already came and went so we can't use that metric any more. :P

I think the new metric is the next Half-Life release, in a stunning fit of irony.

Well, MT did release before BMS. Not quite as the team (or what was left of it anyway) would like, but it released.

Duke Nukem Forever saw the light of day, Steam is coming to Linux, and now Black Mesa Source will see release. If HL3 is announced before December 21st, the Mayans were right.

Well, technically, it isn't a full release
As stated by the BBC article, Xen isn't finished

Yeah, I'm not going to miss Xen. Not from the original Half-life (the expansions rescued it from the scrappy heap - a bit).

Black Mesa Source, Borderlands 2, and Torchlight 2 all releasing within a couple days of each other. I am going to be a very busy man.

Why spend so long remaking a game when the first game is perfectly playable and readily available? Bizarre.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd rather spend my time on new experiences not old ones.

The developers said that it was the hardest part to redesign, so they'll release the Xen chapter separately, I liked Xen, though it did feel very rushed and incomplete most of the time, I guess I could say the same about JP: Trespasser's end chapters (as well as physics and AI ;))
