The Black Mesa mod for Half-Life 2 will not make it's projected 2009 release, according to a post on the mod's official forums.

"Unfortunately, to our great disappointment, Black Mesa will not make a 2009 release," wrote the mod's project lead. "Cynics may now rejoice, bets may be collected, and I think a mod team member has to eat his shoe, but we hope our loyal fans will forgive us and realize that the delay will translate into a better final product that's (hopefully) more easily available to everyone.

"Once again we apologize for what has to be very disappointing news. We placed a 2009 deadline on ourselves to motivate us and bring this 6 year project to a close. And while we didn't quite make it, we have come very close, and you can expect a complete, polished game to hit your hard drives in the near future. We'll be sure and update if anything changes.

"Until then, hang tight, it's coming."

A video was released around this time last year, and we have it posted here.
