The game is simply never as exciting or action-packed as the original often was." The good news is that the action is kept fairly interesting throughout thanks to some new (tougher) alien baddies to fight (whom I later learned are not from Xen, but from… uh, somewhere else). Much of Opposing Force more or less feels like that entire sequence, only set in the Black Mesa facility itself. With the help of various stranded members of his unit, Shephard is able to work his way through the sewers and battle fields of Black Mesa, fighting unthinkably horrifying enemies along the way."My least-favorite segment of Half-Life was the journey through the border world Xen at the end, only because the human factor had been taken out of the equation, and battling the far less intelligent alien grunts got old after a while. On the contrary, they are planning to blow up Black Mesa and anything (or anyone) unfortunate enough to still be in the area.Īs if things aren't already bad enough, a new race of more advanced, intelligent and stronger aliens known as Race X begins invading Earth just as Gordon Freeman leaves for Xen, leaving it solely up to Shephard to ward off their malicious intents. Overhearing a conversation between two disgruntled Black Operatives, Shepard discovers a horrible secret the Black Ops are not there to help-not at all. Left behind along with many others, Shepard continues his journey through Black Mesa in a desperate search for a way out. Fighting to the airfield, Shephard gets the OK to leave-but something goes wrong. After meeting back up with his unit, he gets word of a complete evacuation from Black Mesa. Left in the dark too long, Adrian's transport is destroyed en route to Black Mesa and the clueless soldier (along with the others) is left to fend for himself against the growing army of aliens and zombies.Īwakening in a hospital ward, Shephard finds his head (and a radio) and starts wandering the immense facility. After a crash course in indoor combat, Shephardand the other select few in the newly- formed "Hazardous Environment Combat Unit" or "HECU" were rushed off to the Black Mesa Research Facility. When Corporal Adrian Shephard was mysteriously selected for an advanced indoor training course, no one knew how much it would change his life.
