Often defined as the best Half-Life 1 expansion. It involves you playing as the "opposing force", more commonly known as the HECU, as a soldier named Adrian Shephard. The expansion adds several new weapons as well as new enemies alongside the ability to lead squads of soldiers. The expansion has a few events that crossover with the original Half-Life, however for the most part Gordon isn't seen.
