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

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?
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]."
New POV: The vending machine getting robbed by Otis.
I would be surprised if its not a mod already.
