Opposing Force 2 is an ambitious Half-Life 2 modification that focuses on making an unnofficial sequel to Gearbox Software's award winning game: Opposing Force. As many gamers think of Opposing Force as one of the greatest FPS games ever, modders making a sequel is an obvious possibility. Although many have tried and failed this project has come further than anyone else's and seems to have a bright future.

              Opposing Force 2 takes place in the Seven Hours War aftermath (meaning that you do not face the war itself). The game focuses on erasing a portal rift from Earth. Back in the timeline of Opposing Force, a VTOL was captured by the xenians for examination. That helicopter was kept in a xenian vault, and as the years passed, it overloaded itself with xenian rocks and material. Due to such a massive amount of xenian crystals, the helicopter ended up with enough energy to make a portal rift on its own, as it teleported to Earth, it caused a huge explosion of energy and consequently, a portal rift, that gave the xenians a ticket to Earth. Shephard gets awaken by the G-Man, and given the objective of closing the portal rift.

              The Combine takeover resulted in the creation of many rebellion groups, including the Phoenix Army, a huge anti-combine group of trained marines who have made it through the Seven Hours War, in Opposing Force 2, Shephard will be fighting on their side. But while the Phoenix Army wants to destroy the crystal and close the rift, the Combine wants to steal the crystal to maximize their portal technology.

     Happy new year everyone! We proudly present our first official update of 2010, that being said we are coming to you guys with some important news regarding the development process in OF2. Our last update was a disappointment to many when the Multiplayer demo was canceled. The team has always been hard at work to get the multiplayer working, however after accessing the situation we decided on changing OF2 mission. Multiplayer on OF2 has ceased, however this is not bad news. We present Phoenix Strike, a side by side cooperative team developing a fun and creative multiplayer experience set in the OF2 universe, using the same textures, guns, models, loved maps, etc. There will be shared media on both their site and ours; however they will remain to be individual modifications. For those upset about the disappointing multiplayer demo not being released as planned we can assure you the Phoenix Strike team is hard at work to releasing a presentable alpha.

     For some time now we have been brainstorming a way to deliver special content to individuals who are actively supporting OF2. Those of you who are good at drawing get your pencils sharpened; starting later this year the official OF2 “fan art” contest will begin. The winners of the contest shall receive an exclusive set of weapons on the upcoming mod Phoenix Strike. They'll also get an exclusive class of their option, so keep tuned for the contest.

    Eventhough we don’t have any media to show at this point, we're prepairing an update soon.  As a matter of fact, due to community requests, we have added to our weapon arsenal the Vortex Gun, the Combine Guard and the Cremator, together with frequently requested weapons, such as the M16, and asked features, like kicking.  Soon also we will present updated media from old levels which have been reworked completely.

    If you want to support the mod, remember that we always have open positions on the team. Right now we're accepting people with two or (preferably) more years of experience on what they do. If you think you have any of the skills requested and would like to be part of the team, read the requirements here:


    That's it for now, dear fans! But before we're done, here's a sneak peak of our upcoming media:


    Oh, and before we forget, head over our forums and start posting; you don't know how satisfying it is to see the active community everyday. Keep on with the feedback and support, and may 2010 be a great year for you all!

And don't forget to vote for us!
