Black Mesa: Uplink remakes Half-Life demo
The Black Mesa mod is a remarkable accomplishment, remaking Half-Life in the Source engine, and now a mapper building upon their work has remade another slice of Valve history. Black Mesa: Uplink remakes HL's classic Uplink demo, which curiously for a demo was a new slice based upon levels cut from the game during development. And now that's available in shiny Source-o-vision.
Out with the old, in with the new

Now on to OpFor, please!

YES. Perhaps the best expansion pack ever made, right here.

Borderlands 2 wants a word with you.

i would be happy to talk to him/her. i am sure we could come to some sort of agreement wherein he gives himself a free copy of, well, himself and then i judge it compared to OpFor. however, if its even a dozen times better than its predecessor, which goes by the name of Borderlands, then i would still put it several notches below OpFor.

Well play it first and then realize how wrong you are.

this really is a solid demo

What was the reasoning behind redoing the classic voicework for the scientists & barneys in the opening HL1 levels, anyone know? That was the most jarring thing, and I lost interest. I'd looked forward to experiencing again the pacing and tone of the "They're waiting for you Gordon...in the test chamber" conversation, and it wasn't there

They don't own the rights to redistribute those assets.

all of the textures, sounds, models and mapping are all new. valve's lawyers even put the kibosh on them using "source" in the mods name.

That put you off enough stop playing? Just try it again with a slightly more open mind and I you will love it! It's so good!
Here's some fancy screens I took: http://www.shacknews.com/chatty?id=29382805#item_29382805

Uplink was like the Demo of the Year. Must have played it 4-5 times.

Played it now... good lil' bite of Half Life.
One thing FYI, it does seem to have an infinite-soldier-spawner at one point (and I don't think the original did). When soldiers start rappelling in, find a way out rather than trying to eliminate them all.
