Background

Half-Life: Opposing Force is an expansion developed by Gearbox of Valve's famed First-Person shooter, Half-Life. This was the first expansion in a set of expansions released from Half-Life and was announced in April 1999. Gearbox was chosen to create this expansion because Valve needed to focus on their future projects.

Half-Life Opposing Force takes place in the same time period as Half-Life, but instead you take the role as a HECU soldier, which were common enemies in Half-Life. You play as Adrian Shepard, a Corporal, who is sent in with an army of other soldiers to wipe out Black Mesa after the Resonance Cascade which as caused numerous hostile aliens from Xen to arrive.

Gameplay

Half-Life: Opposing Force's gameplay is very similar to that of Half-Life's.
