After five successful training years with the NASF, Roger McAllen begins his first mission behind enemy lines. He and his highly specialized team are only given minimal information before carrying out their task. Further details are supplied later by radio contact. After a short briefing the troops are deployed using transport helicopters to an area about 20 km south of the launching ramp base. Their first objective is to find and destroy an artillery vehicle in the ruins of the city. The second objective is to blow up a damn as a distraction whilst they infiltrate the launch base. Once there, they are to defuse the missiles, which constitute the basis of the WOLF-Organisation’s threat.

this is a great mod

it realy expands on the opposing force ideas in half life with new weapons and a new storyline like nuclear winter did

It's difficult, it's long, it's marvelously detailed and it's one hell of a ride.

Give this mod a try right now, especially if your looking for a good challenge :)

Pretty good mod. The attention to detail and occasional eye-candy is nice.
In some parts like the platform ride and the missile launch you can get stuck easily and the mappers forgot to put some autosaves between later levels but it's not that bad. Relatively bug-free overall aside from the resetting controls (which you have to set and restart the game to save permanently).

Rating went from 7 to 8 as quality progressed. One room in an earlier map had literally no doors.

This is just great! All of the custom stuff makes the mod original. It offers a rather long playtime, and well-balanced challenge. The best part was the ending. The after-party campaign at for the very end, a scientist having fun at a disco! Great job guys!

Всё отлично :)

Very good.

Great mod. Really underrated.

Operation Black Thunder takes us away from the setting of Black Mesa (which we have seen a hundred times in Half-life) and into a military setting that feels authentic (given the limitations of Goldsrc), with various military vehicles that are actually put in use by each faction, instead of remaining parked in a garage somewhere just as eye candy.

It's a really fun mod that does a lot of things that feel fresh, there were a few moments that made me go "huh, I don't recall ever seeing that in a Half-life mod", the weapons are also really enjoyable to use, for the most part, the assault rifle was too inaccurate for my liking, to be honest. Unfortunately it can also get a bit frustrating at times, with very challenging combat sequences, puzzles and intractable elements that aren't so clear and scarce supplies in some areas. Also I'm pretty sure I sequence broke a couple maps.

I'll give it a rating of 7, but with a big asterisk that says "you must play this, this is one of the best HL mods out there, just play it on an easier difficulty than you're used to or something. And maybe have a video walkthrough handy, if you absolutely need it."

Also be aware that you need to exit the game every time you change a setting in the options, due to a bug, or it will revert back to the way it was before. Changing your bindings via a userconfig.cfg also helps.

very cool mod

is a **** game not weapons and facking comands fack the creator
