Valve may not have any plans to recreate the original Half-Life in its sequel's Source engine, but if this trailer is any indication, the Black Mesa Source team is doing some incredible work.
The bad news is that we still don't have a release date for the Half-Life 2 modification outside of the trailer's "2009" end text. BMS has been in development for nearly half a decade and though this clip does indicate some excellent progress, I'd much prefer to be able to give you guys a solid date.
Then again, the BMS team is a cadre of amateurs working in their free time. If gamers can wait patiently for Valve's games to hit shelves "when they're done" we should probably grant the same courtesy to those who aren't bound to make millions of dollars from their hard work.
In the meantime, have a look at the mod's official site and try to contain your anticipation.
