Originally Black Mesa, a Half-Life remake using the Source engine, was supposed to be released at the end of 2009, but the development team underestimated the work that was still to be done. Ever since then news and updates about the Source-Mod have been rare and rather small. Now it seems like the project is slowly heading towards its end.
Lead designer Daniel "Raminator" Junek posted some interesting statistics in to Black Mesa's forum.
