Resolution speaks to project leader Carlos Montero about the upcoming Half-Life remake:
'Carlos is one of the many professional games developers involved in the Black Mesa project, and is currently working on upcoming XBox360 and PC title Champions Online. "In a professional, funded team," Carlos explains, "you can see a ton of work done in a very short time, by a team who can dedicate all of their time to something. On a mod team, that's just not how it works." It's understandable. The team all have day jobs as well, which - as expected - take priority. "Slow and steady wins the race," Carlos muses. "While sometimes we can pull together and do something quickly, we have to depend on our steady progress over time, and take note of and rejoice smaller milestones."'

Black Mesa: Source announced that they are releasing a retail version of the game that supporters can purchase, though casual players still have access to the free version. Mr.WaWa talks about Half-Life and discusses briefly the game and mod's development over the years. He's gonna buy the crap out of it. Will you?

To that end, here's a list of some of the most outstanding F2P games out there, along with reasons why you can save some serious money over the coming months."
I know I miss that so much it sucks when characters and costumes are DLC :(
F2P games are starting to realise that. Everything can be unlocked in Planetside 2, for example.
Remember that these games are free, but have to make money somehow. A couple of quid here and there is probably not a big ask for something you'll play for 20 hours +.
That said, I still hate DLC that takes characters and stuff out in full-priced games. Either it's freemium or premium, you shouldn't have both.
Not to mention, Planetside 2's F2P model is pretty well implemeneted in that paying players have no strict advantage over players that dont.
Will be bought by Valve, I don't see this going free, I can't wait for this, Halflife was excellent and my first big taste of PC gaming.
Expect this, CounterStike: Source, L4D and HL2 Episode 3 on what I shall call 'The Orange Box 2' or something along those lines, y'know what I mean.
This needs to be bundles with episode 3 and released on consoles. Please Valve, publish it!?
can't wait for this...for me Half Life is king,not HL 2.it should have been,but didn't inspire the same awe as the first did.
The way both relate to each other really added that touch of meaningness. I hope they work their a**'s off again to remake Opposing Force.
Thats awesome cause HL1 is most likely my favorite game ever. Im glad I have a good excuse to play it again. Its also good cause source games are about as good as my computer can run with high setings and some aa. Cant wait to try it.
