I don't know of many mods that are a much higher bar in terms of attention to detail and aesthetics. Especially ones that are almost TCs like Black Mesa.
But apparently you guys do.
Well, IMHO Insurgency has much more detailed maps, and much better textures.
As stoopdapoop says, some of the BMS textures don't look too great - they lack polish, and occasionally aren't placed well together. I hate to say it, but some of the textures look no better than those seen in the HLS high res pack.
BMS does however have some of the best NPC models yet seen in Source, I'd say they look more or less on par with L4D models.
