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.

Description

It's amazing how a map can evolve. This, for example, began as a coop project by myself and Urby under the working title "ss_pijamas." The "ss" stood for Silent Strike which was an experimental gamemode we discovered quite by chance in which players only have 15hp, and CTs are limited to silent weapons and are outnumbered by terrorists to a ratio of around 3:1. It proved to be exceptionally fun, but these sort of things tend to be a love or hate deal - so it was changed back to regular ol' CS. This map has been featured in several Scotch and Coffee videos, and contains the SnC offices. There are tens of easter eggs and secret areas, a proper radar with nav locations and more custom materials than you can shake a stick at. Enjoy. P.S. Urby's office was made by him. That is all. So much for "coop" the lazy bastard ;D

I know that this map was uploaded here 10 years ago, but I want to ask: what the hell is it doing in addons for Half-Life and its expansions (and even Half-Life: Source), if it is for Counter-Strike?

It doesn't work in these games at all! I checked.
