    ThereÂ’s been an "incident" at a government lab, some God-forsaken place called Black Mesa. It is imperative to National Security that no one learns what has happened there.

    You and your squad must infiltrate the lab, eliminate the hostiles, neutralize all resistance and secure the facility. This is no cakewalk. YouÂ’ll have to rely on your training and trust your fellow soldiers if you want to survive this mission. No one knows what youÂ’ll find there, but expect the worst. So pack your gear, the chopper leaves in 15 minutes.

    In addition to its exciting new single-player experience, Opposing Force features a large collection of fresh multiplayer content, including new weapons, player characters and 15 new multiplayer maps.

Unknown Source:
    Remember the soldiers who gave you so much trouble in Half-Life? Now you are one of them--and life is not so easy as part of the Opposing Force.

    As a soldier sent in to eliminate Gordon Freeman, you are separated from your base unit and discover a new alien race amidst the chaos. It's quickly revealed that these highly advanced alien life forms descended upon Earth to pillage the planet from the Black Mesa facility when Gordon Freeman transported to the border world of Xen.

    Although you were originally sent into Black Mesa to silence Freeman and his fellow scientists in the facility, you now find yourself stranded and confused--battling fierce new alien creatures and a variety of other foes in an effort to save your own life.

    But as a military specialist, you are not unarmed. You'll gather a custom arsenal of new military firearms, experimental weapons and deadly alien devices. And, as you explore further areas of Black Mesa, you will encounter a new variety of human characters to interact with--on both friendly and unfriendly terms.

    In addition to the extensive new single player experience, Opposing Force will also contain a robust collection of fresh multiplayer content, including new weapons, player characters (models), and several new multiplayer maps designed by the experts at Gearbox Software. Opposing Force will also feature new levels created by all-star legends of the Dallas gaming community.
