It's a very good game and a very faithful recreation of a good game. I think it's a little too faithful, though. Playing it has reminded me of all the bad parts of Half-Life as well as the awesome level design and AI and all that. Every enemy other than the human ones sucks. Vortigaunts just stand vacantly until you round a corner, then they instantly fire at you with extreme accuracy. Headcrabs can attack right as they spawn. The SMG is barely effective against the marines, too

I am confuz. So this is "just" a mod, not a new game? If so, what game?

It's a complete remake of the original game with improved graphics, sounds and controls. Or so they say

However, it doesn't have Xen levels in it.

While this is great, I'm actually kind of annoyed...okay Valve, it's great you want to remake a classic but come on seriously...where's our HL3, I'd much rather have HL3 then a remake of HL1, but enough being pessimistic, don't look a gift horse in the mouth

This was made by a modding team called Black Mesa, not Valve themselves; I believe Black Mesa spent a few years on this. Also I don't think it's right to consider this a mod; it seems this was made from the ground up on an entirely new engine, but was only designed after the original game.
The sounds, graphics and controls are definitely better though.
