Description
As a third-party mod developed for almost 8 years and for another 5 in its post-release phase, (by countless different developers and designers over the years), Black Mesa is, unlike the main Half-Life games developed by Valve, an inconsistent experience, at times. That's not a bad thing, and it is a great game - but at times it feels like it's tried to be a dozen different things at a dozen different points in its development. And it's still an Early Access title, which means it may change even more in the foreseeable future.

This is a collection of mods that change various aspects of Black Mesa - some of these mods add various touches and details that make it more reminiscent of Half-Life 1 or of Half-Life 2; others restore aspects of the legacy mod version of Black Mesa or from earlier versions of the Steam retail game; others are even throwbacks to the 1997 version of Half-Life. And some are bug fixes which just repair issues with the game or improve it in all sorts of ways. But most of them replace things which may have been out of place, or add extra touches to the game. At the very least, they are worth trying out over multiple playthroughs. I've tried to cram as many of the best mods in as I could, to offer a good helping of variety.

Note that not all of them are compatible with each other, so your mileage may vary depending on which you ultimately subscribe to. Some don't even work anymore because of updates to Black Mesa's Workshop mod file system. So keep that in mind!

Altered Vista
Created by BARRY McCOCKINNER
