Summer 2017 is when Crowbar Collective hopes to launch the Xen portion of its Black Mesa Half-Life remake

The team remains, as always, hard at work on Xen!

Yeah. That was also the claim for January 2013. When Black Mesa first launched in 2012. And it was in development for several years before that.

Let's just say that I'll believe it when I see it.

It is very nice of them to keep to the Half Life 3 development cycle.

Well, It's an entirely different Xen form the original half life,So it would take a bit longer.
[to think all that is hold hl3 from releasing is Xen gives me shivers down my spine]

Is four years (so far) "a bit longer"?

Also, I have to amend what I said previously - BM was launched in 2012 not 2013, so the claim for Xen being finished was for 2013 not 2014. I was a year off.

To be fair, high quality mods usually take a very long time, particularly total conversions like Black Mesa. Take Star Wars: Empire at War, for example. One of the most popular and professional mods for it is Thrawn's Revenge, and the team is still working on fine-tuning it over 10 years later.

Hell, 95% of mods never even get past the concept phase, never mind actually releasing it. ModDB and similar sites are littered with the corpses of projects that mysteriously went dark after one or two crude, untextured 3D models. I think most people don't realize how much time and effort goes into making a mod and abandon it when they realize they've bitten off more than they can chew.
