Opposing Force lets you play as one of the soldiers you had hard time killing as Gordon Freeman. It may confuse you at first but you will get used to it. Opposing Force puts you into the boots of Corporal Shepherd who is sent with the rest of the marines into Black Mesa with only one objective : Kill Gordon Freeman. But all does not go well, your helicopter is shot down on its way to the complex and most of your team dies. You later find yourself alive and thankful to the cowardly scientist who saved you from death. Confused and demoralized you try to understand what is going on...only to find that the G-Man has other plans for you. Opposing Force adds a small piece to the already huge Half-Life universe with drastically more action then you would expect. Comparing to Blue-Shift Opposing Force delivers allot more punch with new weapons,levels and allies. New enemies are also present in the coerce of the plot which unravels slowly and enjoyably trought the entire game. You get to see some very interesting places were you have been before in Half-Life 1. Like the infamous crusher were you are trowed in or just the portal at the lambada laboratory. You also get to lead a squad of fellow marines to aid you with the never-ending struggle against Xen`s forces. There is allot of great new continent in Opposing Force and its way to much to list here.
All in all Opposing Force is a great addition to the growing Half-Life series. From the moment you are called a `dirt-bag` at boot camp to the moment you are placed in a stasis you will love Opposing Force like you loved Half-Life 1.
