Hey guys! Some of you older members might remember back in the day when a guy called MenteR made a thread here at FP about his new mod, Opposing Force 2. He received quite a bit of flack for it, but over these past few years, this mod has grown big, and it looks absolutely fucking amazing. I remember about a year and a half to two years ago applying for the mod, and failing horribly , but I still remained friends with MenteR. We've grown to be great friends, and I am really proud of all the effort he has done towards this mod. It is absolutely fantastic. Here are some pictures of the mod:

Opposing Force 2 is an ambitious Half-Life 2 modification that focuses on making an unnofficial sequel to Gearbox Software's award winning game: Opposing Force. As many gamers think of Opposing Force as one of the greatest FPS games ever, modders making a sequel is an obvious possibility. Although many have tried and failed this project has come further than anyone else's and seems to have a bright future.

The game takes place in the Seven Hours War aftermath. Fighting against blood shedding synths and frightening aliens, Adrian Shephard has to struggle his way with his fellow comrades from the Phoenix Command, with the main objective of erasing a portal rift from Earth. In his journey he will find what has happened to the world, six months after the Seven Hour War.

MenteR told me the mod is really playable right now. So it's not vapourware, guys! He also said there's a demo coming next month.

Check it out, and discuss!

This is the last thing I expected to happen tonight, besides Episode 3.

[AaronM202]

Why is it whenever adrian is around, a nuke goes off?

Edited:

Requesting vids or pics of panthereye, i would love to see that remade, as it surely is for this mod.

[Oblongs]

YES

I love opposing force, can't wait.

[MenteR]

Thanks a lot for this thread, dude. You're the last person I would expect to make it!

seems like we didn't show the render of the panthereye, lol. our modeler who was doing it quit.

[hamberglar]

Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

[superdinoman]

Those charger animations are pretty bad, doesn't look very organic at all. :colbert:
The nuke effect is bland, Ive seen better in Gmod SWEPs and you're supposed to be coding.
To much bloom, stop that shit it doesn't look good.

If you're critical about small things like that, why not make it your self?

I don't mean to sound rude but that has to be the most RETARDED argument I've ever heard. It's an opinion and a more negative way of criticism, it might sound like shit but he's somewhat right *At least I think so*, those animations are pretty stiff and non organic, no idea what's going on with those snappy walk/run cycles, The nuke effect looks exactly like the ones I've seen in Garry's Mod as well.

[Xyzzy]

It's a good thing you posted a link to the Moddb page, or else I wouldn't have been able to vote for it for MotY.

[MAspiderface]

amazing

You can give criticism, but don't be a dick about it.

The walk/run cycles are mostly WIP. We still have to make it so he bounces more and makes it more fluid. About the nuke effect, I made the whole thing apart from the particles, which were made by another team member (Madmodder). And I don't see any resemblance to the nukes you get in Garry's Mod.

But thanks for the criticism. Keep it coming.

I can abuse ratings too and rate you dumb even when said post is not dumb.

[MenteR]

Can you guys stop?

[Chrille]

Everything is great, apart from the story, which is a little generic.

[croguy]

It improved since the last time I saw media about it. Hopefully it'll stay that way until release.

So? I'm just asking you to say your criticism in a nice way.

Edited:

And what the hell do ratings have to do with anything?

[calle7112]

what you mean? the story is kick as

This isn't kindergarten, you don't have to be nice when you're expressing negative criticism.

[Caste]

Excuse me, but I don't see here anything fantastic. Like I said before, this mod doesn't deserve to be called as "Opposing Force 2". So ambitious and official name for so usual mod that uses content from hl2 to ep2. Meh kid's ambitions...

[Im Crimson]

Ahahaha, the map shown in the miniature-picture in the lower right corner of screenshot #11 (the underground) was actually created by me when I took a stab at mapping for OF2 a long time ago (despite the fact that my talents with mapping definitely doesn't include an artistic eye). The overall mapping quality of OF2 at that time was pretty bad compared to Source-modding standards and I did very little to raise it

The mod has undergone big changes since that time, today OF2 looks very promising in my opinion.

And by the way, AaronM202, we'll show a render of the Panthereye before we release the demo. The way it behaves in the game is way different from how it used to behave in HL1, and you guys will love it!

Cant wait for it.

[Sub-Zero]

Mod has improved since the last time I checked.
Good job.

[Arkantos]

This looks awesome.

[Raiskauskone V2]

The gunturret looks silly

*edit*

what? it's an opinion, it's not dumb.

Yea, I remember when it looked god-awful and nearly all of the shown content was still in early WIP. It's a lot better now.

[eatdembeanz]

Charger looks like a bloodied, flayed, emaciated Guar.

Its Supposed to look that way.or at least, Based off one of the Half Life 1 (i think its Half Life 1) Concepts

[animephreak135]

Holy hell, this is amazing. And to the guy who was criticizing the nuke, have you even played Crossfire before? This mod definitely looks like it's holding true to the original thing. Needless to say, I can't wait for the release.

[daumantas100]

Looks fantastic, gimme gimme gimme!

[autodesknoob]

looks as awesome as the first one

[MenteR]
