I didn't like Black Mesa as much as most. I thought a lot of the charm was lost with the "modernizing" decisions. It just doesn't look like half life and the enemies don't behave like half life enemies to me. It looks and plays like a really, really good fan remake. Cuz it is. I still think the original has loads of merit though and would never suggest black mesa before playing the original.
Black Mesa felt to me, at the time, as a different story in the same universe. Maybe something else happening more or less in the same period to other protagonists, or something like that. I don't remember it very well, it's been a while.
