A Half-Life-related website is teasing something using an emergency-alert broadcast

A fictitious emergency broadcast has suddenly started on BMRF.us, which is a website that was previously a part of the promotion for a Half-Life remake. So is it time to get out the ol’ Half-Life 3 hype machine?

Visitors to BMRF.us will come across a TV-test pattern and an emergency-broadcast-system message that warns people of a catastrophic event at the Black Mesa Research Facility. This website was previously a part of the alternate-reality game to promote Black Mesa: Source, a Source-engine remake of the original Half-Life game that the developers released as a mod for Half-Life 2. Valve is now working with the devs to release a standalone version of Black Mesa: Source, and that’s probably what BMRF.us is now promoting.
