Black Mesa 2009 Update

**cman2k** · 07-12-09, 04:48

Hello Black Mesa fans!

We come to you once again with an update. It's now the end of 2009, and we know many of you have literally counted the days down until this fateful month. We are floored by the level of support you have given us and are very excited we're so close to reaching our goal.

Unfortunately, to our great disappointment, Black Mesa will not make a 2009 release.

Cynics may now rejoice, bets may be collected, and I think a mod team member has to eat his shoe, but we hope our loyal fans will forgive us and realize that the delay will translate into a better final product that's (hopefully) more easily available to everyone.

Once again we apologize for what has to be very disappointing news. We placed a 2009 deadline on ourselves to motivate us and bring this 6 year project to a close. And while we didn't quite make it, we have come very close, and you can expect a complete, polished game to hit your hard drives in the near future. We'll be sure and update if anything changes. Until then, hang tight, it's coming!

You did your best, I can wait a little more.

**The_Assassin47** · 07-12-09, 04:56

Christmas is canceled.

**Shadi** · 07-12-09, 04:58

**Victus** · 07-12-09, 05:01

My fan made video will no longer make sense.

- No worries though, I'm a fan of quality.

Hahaha I knew it!

I wanna cry.

Well, I should have known that when coming back the first thing I'd hear is bad news.

**Trigger_Proximity** · 07-12-09, 05:12

Hmm... Now i want to know who has to eat their shoe.

**Ibanez** · 07-12-09, 05:13

goddamnit, why couldn't this be a fake account?

**PharCry** · 07-12-09, 05:13

Well... I need to fix my videos now but, I can understand. Good luck and keep up the great work.

**Door** · 07-12-09, 05:15

I know this may sound silly, but I am glad the mod isn't going to make the 2009 release date.
For one, the community is very fun and I wasn't looking forward to the flood of people complaining about something in the mod that was their own fault.

Also, we will get a far more polished mod if it is released in a few years/months time than if it was released this month.

Thank you for trying, and telling us so very early on in the month, which is a good thing.

I serious'd

**Omega_Absolute** · 07-12-09, 05:23

Tragedy.

**Will89** · 07-12-09, 05:28

This was inevitable. It's a little disappointing, but at least they aren't going to rush out an unfinished product. Time to start placing bets on an early 2010 release!

'Cept now we're going to get an influx of people whining (probably mostly Youtube idiots) about the release being pushed back.

**intooblivion** · 07-12-09, 05:30

They meant 2009 days from the point they released the video, jeez.

We all should have known it'd take another five and a half years
