Black Mesa (formalmente conhecida como Black Mesa: Source, BM or BMS para abreviar) é a conversão total de Half-Life 2 que busca refazer o jogo 
Half-Life. Utilizando o motor gráfico Source para atualizar e melhorar completamente a experiência, Black Mesa coloca o jogador no mundo que começou a franquia Half-Life e introduziu o Dr. Gordon Freeman ao mundo como um atirador com PhD em física teórica
Black Mesa foi desenvolvida no fato de que Half-Life: Source não trouxe tantos benefícios ao título original, apesar da intencões por traz do lançamento de Half-Life: Source. posteriormente em novembro de 2004, o projeto Black Mesa foi fundado com o objetivo de reconstruir o Half-Life original, dando-o novos ambientes, modelos,e habilidades que ele merecia no motor gráfico Source.
Existem dois lançamentos diferentes desse jogo:
- Black Mesa Beta
- Também chamada de versão mod de Black Mesa (ou Black Mesa 2012). Essa versão do jogo, originalmente lançada no dia 14 de setembro de 2012, e que esta disponível de graça nos websites ModDB, GameFront e mais, também através de BitTorrent no seu website oficial. Contém apenas a versão não polida dos capítulos da Terra com gráficos, sons, música e texturas antigas, além de muitos bugs. Essa versão é executada na Source 2007 e requer o Source SDK Base 2007 instalado para rodar, além de ter suporte apenas ao Windows. Hoje em dia, o website oficial não hospeda mais os links de Download para o jogo, mas alguns websites (como o ModDB) ainda permanecem ativos.
Notar:Ao jogar essa versão, lembre-se de salvar frequentemente. Vazamentos de memória podem acontecer ao jogar com as configurações das texturas no máximo. Essa versão também que pode fazer o FPS (taxa de quadros) diminuir, principalmente durante o capítulo Lambda Core, que pode ser acionado salvando e carregando o mapa.- Black Mesa: Definitive Edition
- This is the current version available for purchase on Steam, released in May 2015 as Early Access and completed in 6 March 2020. It contains both the Earthbound and Xen levels, as well as Multiplayer mode, Surface Tension Uncut and Steam Workshop support. This is a standalone product that runs on its own version of the Source 2013 Multiplayer engine branch, using Team Fortress 2 as a base, dubbed 'Xengine'. Officially supported on Windows and Linux + SteamOS.

Chapters
Like the original Half-Life, Black Mesa contains the same chapters, the difference is that most levels are completely rebuilt, such as majority of On a Rail chapters were cut and all Xen chapters looks different, easier and much longer than the original. Originally, Black Mesa was released in 2012, as a mod without the Xen chapter included, the same still applies to the Steam version released in 2015, lasted until 2019 when a beta version on Steam containing these chapters are now available, and fully released alongside the 1.0 Update in 2020, leaving Early Access. Some part of Surface Tension was also cut until 2016, these part was added back under the name "Surface Tension Uncut".
