Alien Swarm Deferred was released in 2012. It's a third-party mod created by Kristjan Skutta a.k.a. Biohazard90.
This fork of 
Alien Swarm has support for deferred lighting and shadows (similar to 
Black Mesa). It's among very few 
Source games that have dynamic shadows not based on projected textures, while still having its source code available to the public. Performance-wise, it is extremely impressive as the mod can support hundreds of dynamic shadows with very little performance impact.
Important:Alien Swarm Deferred's lighting implementation and Black Mesa's are completely different, for example MSAA is not supported in Black Mesa while in Alien Swarm Deferred it is!Features
New since Alien Swarm:
- CSM
- Real time deferred shadows and lighting from Light environment, Light, Projected texture, and Point spotlight entities.
Blinn–Phong reflection model- New reflections on Phong materials, kinda similar to specular from Black Mesa.
- Volumetric lighting
- Deferred lights are capable of enabling volumetrics that react to the environment in realtime.
- Source shader editor
- Make and edit shader graphs in real-time, in-engine.
- Light editor
- Edit your map's light entities dynamically.
