These new aliens are an entirely new race as you can find out through some external reading, and there are even more human enemies too. There are also a plethora of new aliens to learn and fight against while exploring some never before seen areas of the Black Mesa facility. Additionally, you will find some other troops a few times who can help you clear areas and are quite competent for 1999 AI teammates, while sometimes healing you if you find a medic. Your arsenal is mostly the same as Gordon Freeman’s, however, you do have some new things, such as a lizard-like alien that spews toxic sludge at foes and a gun that teleports you to Xen for health and ammo refills! Those slight charges made it quite interesting without overhauling the formula you grew to love over the first game. Your helicopter gets taken down as you’re entering the Black Mesa perimeter, and everything goes down hill from there.

In this game you play as one of the military personnel you see throughout Half Life 1, Corporal Adrien Shepherd. The controls and design are the same as that now-classic game and while the story over all may not be as good as the first game, there is still a lot of fun times here.

On the outset, if you enjoyed Half Life, you certainly will enjoy this game a whole lot.

Opposing Force is very derivative of this experience but this is most definitely a positive, not a detractor. Half Life was a ground breaking FPS game with an amazing story and universe it created to boot.
