Half-Life: Opposing Force is personally my preferred expansion pack to the original Half-Life and quite possibly my favourite original Half-Life game in general. What I like about this game is how different it is as it puts you into the perspective of a US marine which gives you a whole new side of the story that wasn't introduced in Half-Life or Blue Shift such as how they had no previous knowledge about how they were going to be ordered to kill all the scientists in the Black Mesa research facility and for the most part many soldiers disagree with this and retaliate against their instructors and try to make it out of this whole dilemma alive. Throughout the game you will encounter various scenarios and events in the game that you will recognize as events that took place in the original HL but showing how it impacted the marines. Another thing that makes this game different is the various weapons and enemies that are exclusive to this particular game which makes this game feel fresh and makes it have a different feel to it in comparison to the other Half-Life games. It also has a final boss that isn't a total fυck up like in Half-Life. If you enjoy Half-Life and are up for a challenge, especially near the end, then I highly recommend this game!
