User Rating: 8.7 | Half-Life: Opposing Force PC
This game gives you a glimpse of what the grunts had to go through whiule Gordon went through grunts and aliens alike. You play the role of Adrian Shephard, a marine that was sent to clean up the Black Mesa, to clean up the mess that the scientists built. From the beggining, there's action. Your helicopter is attacked by the xen airships and you crash. Also there's a mix of action and puzzle. Some of the puzzles are very simple while otheres are a little harder. The expansion introduces a bunch of new weapons like A heavy Machine gun, Instead of that fly shooter, you get an electric shooter that the shock troopers use. You also get a desert eagle that has lazer sight and barnacle gun, which has use for both puzzles, and action. There are also new aliens, like voltigores,who are gaping monsters that can kill you in less then 4 shots. pit drones, which are swift and fast, and shoot stingers. The ffiendly A.I is pretty useless, for they cannot climb or jump over obstacles, and they get in oyur way ALOT, also theyll be behind you and there spread shot will hit you and youll die. Also there were a bit of bugs like mounted guns and such. IN this game, you'll find some twists that you'll like and black ops, who have good AI. Theyll run away if injured, but throw grenades if you hide. Also they.ll flank you and use tactics like running from behind. This game wont take you much time at all, but its still worth the steam cache :)
