Is Half-Life Opposing Force still known to current gamers, or is this a side game that's fallen through the cracks. (lemmy.world)

This game always fascinated me as a companion piece to Half-Life. It cemented some things in the HL lore that have just become accepted, while at the same time existing in Schrodinger's canon.

I'm considering giving it another playthrough and taking notes. How many people have actually played it? How many people who weren't gaming when it released have actually played? Is there any interest in it?

Also give black mesa a try. It's a half life remake, very high quality. If you have the time do both.

Yeah it's the main reason I plan to play Half Life 1. I feel like I'll be able to appreciate Black Mesa more if I go in with the background of Half Life 1 to see all the graphical improvements and work they put in to recreate levels.
