Overview:

Half-Life: Opposing Force is the official game expansion for Half-Life,
the thrilling PC CD-ROM named "Game of the Year" by over 50 publications.
In Opposing Force (a.k.a. "Op For"), players return to the Black Mesa
Research Facility to experience an entirely new episode of single player
action. In addition, Op For also contains a massive collection of new
multiplayer content.

The Story:

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.

Features:

* Return to the Black Mesa Research Facility as a soldier.

* Experiment with a host of new military, experimental and alien weapons.

* Battle a fierce new alien race and interact with more human characters.

* Compete in new multiplayer maps designed by industry all-stars.

Post install notes:

As of this writing, the half life update (10051015.exe) does not exist
in the world on any web pages... Just the ISO version of the game.  So,
i've decided to include this with this fine rip of Half Life.
You must update your version of half life to 1.0.1.5 in order for this
to work correctly.

Install Instructions:

Now unace hlopfrce.ace to your already installed dir of halflife
(eg: c:\sierra\half-life)

Once unace'd, go into your halflife\10051015 directory and run
10051015.exe to update Half Life.  Once done, edit the registry file
(opfor.reg) so that it points to your half life directory correctly,
then double click to import into your registry.

This is only if you want to play multiplayer

Run Opforkey (in the \gearbox dir), and generate key.  Copy this key to
your clipboard (ctrl-insert), then run cdauth.exe and paste (shift-insert)
the key into it.  Click ok to store into half life.

If you run Windows NT, use ntkey to generate your key.

If you remember Precise's release, you had all the directory problems
involved.  Everything here is already done for you, and you won't have
to update the dlls dir with the opfor.dll file.  It's already done.

To run the game:

Copy the hl-1015.exe from the hl loader 1015 directory into your main
half life directory.  Run with hl-1015.exe and enjoy!

Do *NOT* run halflife with hl.exe, else you'll get a "Please
insert Half-Life CD".

P.S. Anyone that uses this *MAY NOT* be able to play online until an
official patch is out.  Don't even think of playing on WON or the Half
Life server.  The game isn't even out in stores yet!

What was ripped?

Demos & Movies

Props to Chez Whitey & Zee« for figuring out the directory structures and
where it all fits in.

Also Props to Deviance for this awesome release!

This is for that new group and their first release, which took two guys
to fix your mistake.  These two can't even CRACK!

We were going to release this on the 16th, but there was no crack/loader
available for version 1.0.1.5... So I waited, and Laxity came out with the
new loader on the 17th.  Once again, thanks Laxity!

Reminder: If you like this game, BUY IT!  They deserve it!
