The better of the two expansions.
Half-Life: Opposing Force is Half-life's story from a different prospective again. This time the star of the show is Adrian Shephard, a US Marine Corporal who is left stranded inside black mesa with little means of escape.
You'll be fighting against a new race of enemies with a new arsenal of weapons some new, some old, simply put if you enjoyed Half-Life this is just MORE of it.

Its really funny how if you hold down the reload button with the laser for the desert eagle on, the laser stays in the same spot when you look around.
Quase melhor que Half Life 1
completed this game after dying SO. MANY. FUCKING. times that i had to enable God Mode for the remainder of my game. Fuck you Randy
Прикольное дополнение к первой части.
More focus on action and overall more challenging than both Half-Life and Blue shift, but not much more to offer other than that, i'd say it's better than Blue Shift, worse than Half-Life
being on the wrong side of history
Even after replaying and enjoying the first Half-Life more, I still think this is the better game overall. It may not have had the same impact and importance the first game had, but in terms of enjoyment factor and consistency, this easily takes it. Also helps that this game did an amazing job of expanding upon the world of Half-Life and showed it from a different perspective. Bring back Adrian Shephard
Petite campagne qui rajoute quelques mecaniques en plus. Fun presque tout le long sauf peut etre pour le boss final qui est vraiment mal designer. Peut-etre que j'etait juste nul, mais j'ai trouver le jeu tres dur comparer a HF1 et Blue Shift.
This is another half-life scenario where the game is FANTASTIC. I mean, I liked it almost better than the original gameplay wise, they updated a lot and it's really fun. However... The final boss SUCKED. Like, genuinely was so bad. I don't understand how Valve created such unique and interesting levels and monsters and then flubbed the boss battles harder than I failed my SAT's. Also you couldn't long jump and it made me sad
gas alert a worthy expansion

Shepard be like : I am Doomguy
certamente uma das coisas mais horríveis que já joguei
nunca foi tão agoniante terminar um jogo, o sentimento de querer me jogar da janela aflorou de dentro de mim diversas vezes, mas como sou brasileiro e nunca desisto.. finalizei com muito orgulho de pensar que nunca mais vou abrir isso de novo

Not bad
I LOVE THE BLACK MESA MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!!1!!!1!!!! :3
a perfectly fun add-on to HL1 that has a motley bundle of minor issues that add-up
OpFor saws-off most of the original Half-Life's calmer and more puzzle-focused elements, leaving it feeling like a roadtrip through combat encounters big and small with little to break up the pace.
The new additions to the arsenal range from being kinda over-powered to being kinda whatever. The crossbow's been replaced with a #Tacticool #Realistic #Epic sniper rifle, the revolver is now a desert eagle that can be spammed, the Spore Launcher is essentially an infinite-ammo grenade launcher, and there's the Barnacle, which sounds cool in concept but completely impractical and is delegated to being a grappling hook.
The new enemies are neat lookin, but are just glorified reskins of ones from HL1. (Pit Drone is the Bullsquid, Shock Trooper is a reskinned HECU etc.)
There's probably a lot more I could say about this expansion :P
also i always deck that one guy you see kill that one scientist in that storage closet thingy. I ain't gonna sugarcoat it, SPAS-12 + MOUSE2.

A short and solid fun little romp through the Half-Life universe, also taking place parallel to Half-Life 1 much akin to Half-Life: Blue Shift, with some notable callbacks as well. Gearbox puts out a much better showing here than they did with Blue Shift. There's more enemy diversity, more weapon diversity, and the flow/pacing of the game is much better. Not only that, but it doesn't feel like the level design is working against me at times, unlike Blue Shift and parts of Half-Life 1. In that way, it feels like a mix of Half-Life and a more modern linear FPS. Which is fitting, seeing that you're a soldier. If you're a Half-Life fan, give this one a spin if you haven't already. It's definitely worth a play and will respect your time too.
Score: 82

More Half-Life. More Half-Life is good.
It's cool seeing everything from the perspective of the soldiers and how they also got screwed over. Although, it seems kinda pointless because I don't think Valve has done anything with the main character in this game since this thing came out? (I know it's not so much a Valve game but a Gearbox game. But still, Barney is still around).
I will say tho. At times this one felt a bit more bullshit than Half-Life, that last portion of the game can be a real pain in the ass, and it didn't help that I was trying to beat the whole thing in one sitting...Which took longer than I was hoping.
Anyway, it's still a fun time and I'm glad I finally got to play it.
P.S: Play the training mode. I picked it just for the lols and I ended up learning a few things that saved me from getting stuck in a few areas. It is also really fun and immersive!

its cool, liked seeing the origins of cs
really cool new weapons but that final boss can go suck a can of dicks
Apesar de eu ter sofrido muito jogando ele, concordo que é uma ótima expansão do primeiro jogo, trazendo uma perspectiva bem legal de Black Mesa, com novos inimigos, armas e tudo de bom que o jogo original traz
fuck me that shit hard
Pretty fun, I loved dying alot and not beating the game 🥰
I still suck at Half-Life :]
I want to spoon Adrian Shepard.

Hank had the worst final of the three...
For a small 3-4 hour long campaign that aims to put a spin on the events in the half-life story, I think this game executes on it's main goals well. I liked the new gimmicks added to this game, and while they weren't really utilized that much (i think there were 3-4 sections where you could climb a rope that I noticed and same deal with the option to use npcs for coop in fights), I found them at least interesting. That said I feel like this game is almost too similar to the plot of HL1 and with a lot of the same jank carrying over from that game to this, I probably wont touch this game again for a long time. That said, it's definitely worth your time, especially if you played and enjoyed HL1. It's more of a fun twist on the story to kill an afternoon or evening than an actual game that I would actively go back to.
Excelente forma de mostrar el lado opuesto del protagonista, sumado a una excelente manera de expandir las mecánicas de juego. Fácilmente pudo ser un juego propio.
The game still very much holds up today, but sufferers from modern hardware issues and such. It is also incredibly short, and to be honest, the final boss was lame, but it is still very much a must play!
Even if very slightly, I'd say I liked this expansion more than the base game.
Some lessons were learned, and the overall pacing of the game felt far better. Admittedly, there is a bad final boss and also this expansion's equivalent of Blast Pit, but there were no levels which felt as annoying as On A Rail or the Xen ones.
The expansion leaning more into the shooter aspect, adding more weapons and enemies, while removing a lot of puzzles in comparison to the base game and Blue Shift is also worth mentioning, and I was a big fan of that.
The story and atmosphere didn't quite feel as gripping than the original, but were well-done, and it was nice to experience this story from another point of view.
