Half-Life: Opposing Force is an expansion pack for Valve Software's science fiction first-person shooter video game Half-Life. The game was developed by Gearbox Software and published by Sierra Entertainment on November 1, 1999. Opposing Force is the first expansion for Half-Life and was first announced in April 1999. Randy Pitchford, the lead designer on the game, later noted that he believed Gearbox was selected to develop Opposing Force because Valve wanted to concentrate on their future projects. Over the course of development, Gearbox brought in a variety of outside talent from other areas of the video games industry to help bolster various aspects of design. Opposing Force returns to the same setting as Half-Life, but instead portrays the events from the perspective of a U.S. Marine, one of the enemy characters in the original game. The player character, Adrian Shephard.

About Hl Opposing Force - Firestorm with 4 comments by 23-down on Sep 19th, 2011

Well people here I am again... I can't really believe that one year has passed since my last update. Time is indeed running away from us..

Ok lemme give you a situation update from my part:

The mod is like always not dead and never has been dead. During my absence I was still mapping unfortunately not so often how I would have liked to. Still just lately I've figured out some great new things.

Expect to see or shall I say to listen to many great custom voices. But lemme give you an example 'cause sounds and pictures say more than 1000 words.

Moddb.com

In other news I've overworked most of my older maps and even merged many of my maps together to just a few. So there is more space for more maps. What brings me to another great news. Some while ago I've received some new maps by another mapper colleague of mine called "Awkook" these maps are really great and I will definetely integrate them into my mod. So by best regards to you Awkook and thank you.

Unfortunateley I still can't give you a release date and I won't make any promisses anymore when it finally could get released. So it stays with the good old saying "It's done when it's done.

However the first 2 chapters are completed by now and I'm planning to build 4 chapters. the third and fourth chapter are half way done and with the maps from Awkook and some other maps I've once received by my teammates it shouldn't take that long anymore to finish the chapters.

Ok time for some screenshots. Below you can see one of my original maps created by my awesome teammate neclipse and what I made out of it after receiving it + another map created by myself.





Stay tuned for further updates.

One of the greatest comments I have read in awhile.

Who would ever put a game disc in a car cd player? I mean I know HL1 and it's expansions contained music on it, but still.

Just finished HL1, HL:OF, and HL:BS.

HL was near perfect in my mind, 10/10 all the way.

OF added some fun new weapons and gameplay mechanics, but almost nothing to the story. And the main character and villain just seemed to be copies of the ones from HL. I liked that one boss fight though, where you had to turn on the Gearbox, activate the Steam vents, and turn the Valve to kill the beast :P 8/10

BS didn't add any new gameplay or weapons, which was slightly annoying, but it made sense. It cleared up a few things about the story which was good, and the Gordan cameos were pretty funny. It was also really short and REALLY easy. I didn't ever die against an enemy in the whole game, and it only took 2 hours to play. And, without spoiling anything, I thought the ending was kinda lame. I'd give it a 7/10

All in all, I loved HL, and liked the expansions. I'll call HL a "Must play" and recommend the expansions if you like HL.

Haven't played HL2 yet, so no rating on that ;)

I want someone to make the LongJump Module useable in Half-Life 2, GMod, and Half-LIfe Opposing Force. I am starting to get annoyed that nobody has done that yet.

They cannot do it for HL2 or Gmod because that is on the source engine and that would be porting and if they did port it it would be illegal and it wouldn't work. For opposing force you do not need to download anyhting just when your in the main menu open the console and type "sv-cheats 1" without the quotes and load a level and then open the console again and type "give item_longjump" without the quotes. it will automaticaly give you hl1's longjump and you can use it.
