It's Half-Life with a new physics engine, rebalances, redesigns, and yes, better graphics.

Ok. Thanks.
It's not exactly like Half-Life, but it's close.

It is a Half Life 1 remake. Minor changes in design which is expected from remakes.

It's different than Half-Life in many ways like the enemies, the puzzles, the engine, the weapons, the layout of places, unlimited flashlight, no walk, etc.

Black Mesa is a re-envisioning of Valve Software's classic science fiction first person shooter, Half-Life.

It's similar to Half-Life in many ways and better in others.

The story is the same.

Game has workshop support.

The aliens are the same.

The developrs have gone out of their way to hire Voice Actors that sound the same.

Graphics are improved.

The enemies are the same.

The chapters are the same.

The weapons are the same.

Maps and levels have been enlarged and/or improved.

Enemies / Aliens are NOT the same. As we all know balance changes has been made. There are different spawns on different locations. Those dog like things that kinda charge an aoe for example (dont know the name... and my descriptions is not that good but i think you get my point).
Chapters are not the same as BlackMesa suddenly stops as there are no Xen-levels so far... so a real playthough is not possible. Devs say that xen will get released this year... so far we got like 3 screenshots and years of waiting.

You really have to play HL1 before playing BlackMesa, if you want the real.. true HalfLife experience.

A lot of difference
Puzzles: The office complex freezer for example.
Engine: uses the source engine
Weapons: Glock's rapid attack is merged with primary, hand grenade has secondary attack, etc
Enemies : Zombies can be torn in half, medic grunts, alien slaves lower damage, etc

You point out the engine was changed, really, GET A CLUE.
Plus you don't even own the game, go troll somewhere else.

Is that how you argue? Ok.

Don't listen too much to the Half Life purits. Black Mesa is Half Life 1. The changes is what you expect from a remake.
