“You are the Corporal Daniel Shephard, after crash landing on your way to Black Mesa, your brother Adrian became a Corporal in less than 3 years, very few people have ever become a officer that quickly. As a lowly grunt you have been given the perfect oppurtunity to prove yourself and show that Adrian isn't the only successful one in the family. Escape an infested research facility with aliens and a whole battalion of Black Ops... its going to be hell." This was originally created by B-dama (see his readme for contact details)
I think this is the best Opposing Force mod i have ever played without any doubt.
Awesome mod, never felt bored while playing it. Really the best I've played for Opposing Force alone. I highly recommend this one. Great level design, pretty tough to beat but isn't impossible. Also, I really like how you can have your allies follow you pretty much from the start to the end but it isn't necessary. Even when there are parts when you have to leave them, there's always an option you can find to open the way for them. Which is awesome for making those firefights more intense and fun. If you haven't played this one yet you should definitely consider it. All the classic Opposing Force weapons and enemies in a new setting. Isn't the longest mod but I would not consider it too short.
Try it out if you haven't yet.
This mod is excellent. The mapping is some kind of better than Valve! Killing the enemies can be a little annoying but that's Gearbox's fault. But you play as another soldier! This one eats the cake. I can't say anything more about this but i suggest you to try it!
9.2 / 10
This one was very enjoyable to play. There's not that many good Opposing Force mods out there so this one takes the cake.
still my fav mod after this years
its simple no models no sounds no things just 9 maps and its still awesome
Under the Black Moon is perhaps one of the most solid mods/map-packs for Opposing Force, a very fun trip through some of the surface areas of Black Mesa, where you get to stick together with other soldiers for a very long time, if you can manage to keep them alive, which was something I quite enjoyed, it made me feel like I was part of a team and I was happy that I got a couple of my guys through all of it to the end, in my mind we survived and escaped together. The environments are surprisingly conducive to your buddies catching up to you, as long as they are not bumping on each other, which made it feel less like an escort quest, I just needed to stop every now and then to make sure I got my team with me.
Speaking of environments, that's definitely what the author B-dama does best, it surprised me to see the Displacer, my favorite mechanic from Opposing Force, making a come back and taking us to various interesting places in Xen and elsewhere, like a Race X outpost. Navigating the caves at the beginning was also another highlight for me, it felt claustrophobic and disorienting, but not enough to get lost, and it felt like being in a place like that for real. The maps feel like actual locations that you explore thoroughly, sometimes you find secret areas, sometimes the environment itself changes in reaction to your intrusion, forcing you into interesting little encounters that can come as a surprise.
While Gearbox had some very fresh ideas with Opposing Force, to me it always felt like it lost some steam at the tail end of the game, so if you ever wanted to get more of your Op4 game, make sure to give this mod a go.
This is one of the few and the best Half-Life: Opposing Force mods, if not the best!
good
