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?

Seeing the different perspectives of the same timeline was super super cool to me. loved being able to see Gordon on the cameras haha.

Also loved the characters crossing paths, that was amazing to me. If I recall correctly you pass a security officer on the way in in HL, which is the starting point of Blue shift
