About The Opera
The Opera is a game that places style and flair at its heart. Set in the world of asian gunplay films (HKBO's), The Opera offers a multiplayer internet dueling experience where victory is won through playing with élan and not with efficiency.
Developed over a number of years at Redeemed Software, The Opera has so far seen a release as a modification (or mod), for the bestselling PC Game Half-Life, and is now being developed on Valve's Source engine.
The first release of The Opera challenged multiplayer gaming traditions by rewarding players for the method of killing their enemies rather than the kill itself, while at the same time pushing the limits of the Half-Life engine with impressive movement options and animations.
This release of The Opera, known as 'Release 1' is available to download, but is now unsupported, and has been 'upgraded' with community content in the form of 'The Opera: Mook Arcade Edition', available here.
The second release will challenge The Opera's past endeavors...
Features of The Opera
- Blazing fast akimbo gunplay mixing shotguns with pistols.
- Amazing acrobatic stunts from the action masters of the far east.
- Colourful asian characters with super stylish schticks.
- Stunning scoring system that rewards innovation and aesthetics over pedestrian predictability.

Ignorant and Stupid has a simpler term that we pronounce as "n00b".
The Opera V.1.0 came out before the specialists was even beta you ******* idiot... Are you ignorant, stupid or both?!
Hi, I'm a mapper for The Opera.
We were developing the second release of The Opera for Unreal Tournament 2003, but have since canned it (due to certain circumstances) and are now looking through the newer engines available that are coming our way.
While we look for a new engine to develop on, you can further the Opera experience with the 'Mook Arcade' pack available at the fan site, Mookarcade.tk
A new unsupported 'release' of the Half-Life version of The Opera is planned, and will include the 'Mook Arcade' pack, a Steam installer, Steam skins with a few extras, just to tide the commununity over...
Thanks.
f.cking christ all the op_mm maps are singleplayer & multiplayer
Either I'm an idiot, or this is a multiplayer-only mod. Or both :-)
Anyway, don't like to DL 100 megs to find out the wrong mod type was chosen.
