Black Mesa Source Trailer

The original Half-Life set the bar in so many ways for the first person shooter genre when it launched over 10 years ago.  One of the things missing though was co-op play.  And while there's plenty of mods that add this to Valve's classic,  this brand new remake looks extremely promising.

The total conversion is a complete remake of the Black Mesa facility, the famous first level of Half-Life 1.  The only thing required to play will be a copy of ANY source engine game - like Half-Life 2, Left 4 Dead, and others.  The mod not only offers some slick visuals with brand new textures, but will sport a cooperative mode built in.  There's no word on how many players will be supported.

For now, drool over the first trailer posted after the break.
