Initially developed and released by Gearbox Software in 2001, second Half-Life add-on, Half-Life: Blue Shift is a return to the Black Mesa Research Facility and another look at the Incident's consequences from the eyes of Gordon Freeman's best friend - Barney Calhoun.
In 2012, Crowbar Collective has delighted Half-Life fans with release of the magnificent Half-Life remake, but there are still no released remakes for add-ons. This is when we are coming in - HECU Collective are developing the Black Mesa: Blue Shift - a free remake with use of Black Mesa resources and style. We will try to stay as close to the original Blue Shift and Black Mesa as possible. Our mod will be releasing partially, chapter by chapter, so those who are not patient for the full release will finally have something to play!

Great day, everyone! We're back with some exciting news about Focal Point!
For those who missed it, in our previous post, we shared two new screenshots featuring thrilling new locations. And for those who have already enjoyed them to the fullest, let's move forward.
For the first time in a while, we've decided to not just showcase screenshots, but treat you some gameplay footage, revealing the richness and unique visual style of the Blue Shift's fifth chapter remake!
As you can tell from the title, our team participated in an interview with LambdaGeneration, where we delved into many technical aspects of development, shared exclusive development screenshots, answered your questions, and unveiled a secret about one of the new monsters you'll encounter in our version of Focal Point!
We hope you enjoy it all to the end!
We posted a new .gif showcasing one of the chapter's caves on the Patreon page too, go take a look!
There's still a lot more stuff to show off, but we're saving it for future. Keep an eye on the news!

Will you be making Opposing Force after you make Blue Shift?
OP4 is impossible without sourcecode access
No.
Yes please, Operation Black Mesa is taking forever!!
These new Xen designs for Focal Point are absolutely stunning!
Something tells me that Crowbar collective might have taken some inspiration from Focal Point for their Xen level (I mean, the original Half-life's Xen was just a bunch of floating platforms.)
Hello i found a missing caption in captive freight with the conversation between yankee 2 bravo where they respond "we've got two hostiles on sight." while the caption reads "we've got two hostiles". And the star decal on the prisoner containers is used by the US Army but it reads property of U.S.M.C. And again best of luck.
