i haven’t touched it since like before xp came out… never had it installed on anything past 98 or win2k here.

A fun video I actually came across recently about Opposing Force/Blue Shift. It had been years since I had thought about it.

Civvie is the best.

I remember mostly liking it. More than HL1. I don’t remember much beyond the bootcamp and how you could use your squad.

I jumped into Blue Shift for the first time easier this year before playing the Black Mesa: Blue Shift mod.

It’s fucking awesome (both versions)

It’s always been a lesser known side game.

I played it roughly a decade after it released* following playing HL1 for the first time. I enjoyed it.

Be sure to play Blue Shift as well if you haven’t already. Awesome seeing it from all three perspectives.

I remember that at some point in the game you activate VALVE and GEARBOX switches at the panel, that was a good one, but other than that I can’t recall it. I played it right after doing HL1 at max diff, so I probably went into it and found this expansion not balanced towards that thus dropped it half way in.

Back when just having the deagle was enough to sell it

Seeing the different perspectives of the same timeline was super super cool to me. loved being able to see Gordon on the cameras haha.

Also loved the characters crossing paths, that was amazing to me. If I recall correctly you pass a security officer on the way in in HL, which is the starting point of Blue shift

Some years ago, I decided to play all the Half-Life games and expansions available at the time after watching a video game history series on YouTube. I enjoyed them all.

To me Blue Shift and Opposing Force were both fun experiences. Played all games several times. They provided more Half-Life when the craving after finishing the main game had not been satiated.

I love OP4, I led a clan for a couple years that played on OP4 servers

i’d like to imagine that people who don’t know about OP4 {and Blue Shift, to an extent.} are people who aren’t really familiar with Half-Life either. i’d argue Decay is the most obscure of the official campaign expansions, since it officially only released on the PS2 port of HL1.

my personal fascination with the HL expansions is the fact they kinda influenced the modding scene by inspiring people to make numerous mods that are about “reliving the Black Mesa incident, but you are [INSERT PROTAGONIST HERE].”
