If you are wondering why he did not kill the scientists it is because he never got debriefed.The commander was about to debrief him when they got shot down by an alien spacecraft but he never got the chance.
Thomas The Dank Engine well the hecu in that time tried to survive. But the first mision hecu got before silencing facility was rescue the personal. They joke about it in the oposing force intro.
_"Shephard! I don't know what those Black Ops are up to, but it doesn't involve getting us out of here alive. We've got no choice but to fight our way out!"_ _"Let's go!"_
I like how most of the OST is variations of a single track, mostly STORM. Some call it lazy, but I think for a shorter game like this, it works nicely. It feels like a neat package of military grade tracks meshed together to make it seem like Adrian's going through similar, equally intense situations with the battle drums serving as a call to action.
It's easy for people to call things 'lazy' and not look into the deeper meaning of it. OpFor soundtracks are predictable, methodical, calculated, and represent relative composure, just like a trained soldier in a situation like this. Gordon is more unpredictable, as he is just an average guy forced to deal with all of this, hence his soundtracks being more hectic. I think both soundtracks from Half-Life and OpFor are fantastic in their own ways. And if people don't believe that Gearbox would pay attention to something like this - watch Adrian's weapon animations when he shoots them. Significantly better recoil management than Gordon, indicative of actual soldier training.
@Alex I feel like this is the best way to describe their experiences, Adrian's is kind of predictable because his mission is to keep the situation under control and maintain the Aliens, so he of course runs into them, and once he finds out the Black Ops are out after the HECU, he expects the HECU to be on his tail attacking him, while Gordon doesn't know when he'll encounter the HECU, he didn’t know about the Aliens, and he ends up finding himself in Xen
Opposing Force is a game of military infraction in the Half Life story, the music is like that because it refers to threatening situations or likely PTSD.
The military thematics remind me of how a soldier trained for this would react. There's the beat of combat but a layer of unpredictability and reaction, whereas Gordon is kinda more the everyman and his music reflects the environment more
One thing I like about this games ost is that it has a sort of neutral feel to it? Most games soundtracks seem to feel like they're amping you up. Like they're trying to communicate that you're gonna kill the enemy or whatever. This music is just sort of frantic and pressured.
Sometimes in opposing force, it starts when your not killing an enemy, as an example, storm starts off when gman locks you in the tunnel so you can leave black mesa. only after do enemies begin to attack
Black Ops: Why Do We Have To Clean Up This Mess That Grunts Can't Handle Shepard In Vent Sneaking Up on Them With an MP5 About To Shoot a Grenade: WAZZUP BITCHEZZZ
I was fighting some Black Ops to this music, and one of the female ones ran out right next one of my squadmates. He had the SAW, and hit her twice in the stomach; she got taken down instantly. It was cool.
The OST being variants of the same track is actually pretty thematic. Adrian is a trained soldier, and despite the fact that he's fighting against aliens, zombies and other threats he's never ever faced, he's keeping a level head. HL1, Gordon is a physicist. He's only used firearms as part of the hazard course. Adrian knew the risks when he joined the HECU. Gordon thought this would be a normal day.
This music works really well if you're moving from point a to point b but there are a lot off hostiles inbetween trying to kill you and you have to fight your way through
This is my favorite 00:00 - 00:26 Imagine, a gargugantuan on the other side of the door, smashs against the door ten times. A kneemasus soilder with a cleaver treading back and forth. spreading words of courage unto his men, Men in cover behind crates, boxes and vehicles, posing, aiming their weapons at the door, 00:27 The Door smashes down, "This is your last stand!"
@@tres2227 You have to be an idiot to not understand the meaning behind a statement like "Body? What Body?" given the fact they threw him into a trash compactor.
well the HECU was left to survive alone after they pulled out he honestly didnt have orders after "we're pulling out", though he chose to continue by himself instead of most scientists who hid, he chose to go on despite the imminent threat, off course knowing he'd probably die anyway he still fought through all the black ops and alien forces. The silent protagonist. Barney Calhoun, Adrian Shepard, & Gordon Freeman are all the great heros aswell as all other hazardous environmental combat units.
Flowey the Flower In boot camp, when the D.I. asks you what your name is, it's implied that Shephard talks back to the D.I. We just can't hear what he's saying.
The mission he was on was secret, and he had no idea what he was doing. I don't think any Marine thinks "I'll probably end up going through some top secret laboratories, murdering everything in sight", since such a scenario is very unlikely.
Actually soldiers followed orders to kill scientists and security guards related with the black mesa incident....it didn't take long for them to understand they are all in the same mess -_- *At some parts of opposing force you saw soldiers that stopped engaging scientists and security guards* cause since they are in the same mess they have to co-operate.
@awsgames he defused an a-bomb, he fought black ops(freeman just fought grunts) he annihilated race x alone, ant defeated the geneworn, which i found waaaay tougher than the nihialinth. oh, and he had also absolutely no protection from radiation nor could he long jump. am i missing something?
@DarkvindFromIllier That's the greatest part about it. Adrian was trained to do this, he had prior knowledge on what to do. Gordon was just a lowly scientist who rose up and beat the odds. Even being just a physicist, he still accomplished more than Adrian.
Shephard! I don't know what those Black Ops are up to, but it doesn't involve getting us out of here alive. We've got no choice but to fight our way out! LET'S GO!
@MrMistery101 Gordon fought grunts AND black-ops. Gordon single handedly saved the Earth from the Xen invasion. He was a physicist with absolutely no military background. AND THEN he was brought back to Earth and kicked the ass of the aliens who TAKE OVER ENTIRE UNIVERSES in just a few day. There's a reason Gman chose Gordon over Adrien.
@crabfight Yeah it would be great if there would be "Orange Box 2" that would include Half-Life 2: Episode 3 (or Half-Life 3), Portal 2, Black Mesa Source (Half-life 1 with HL2 graphics) and if Gearbox would do Opposing Force 2 for it as well. It would be great if Opposing Force 2 would be set at the "7 hour war" and ofcourse you would play as Shepard in that battle.
@kingman186 I wasn't talking about that. Someone said that Adrian was a better hero than Gordon was and I was saying that it isn't true because Adrian was just following orders and Gordon was doing everything out of his own volition.
@kingman186 I dunno about that. When that scientist said I was under orders to silence the facility, I said "Oh shit! My orders were to silence the facility? Better get crackin', I'm WAAAY behind," and just started popping scientists and guards.
@TwilightKun4 If you're playing OpFor on Steam.. then it most likely wont play.. but if I remember correctly.. this plays right before you enter the Gene Worms room
I have the disk vertion of op4 and I opened windows media player and It said that this song was called 'the ticking timebomb" or something like that, most of the others were just things like 'op4_soundtrack_06'. I remember one was called 'spooky oozings'. how did you get hold of the name of this track?
@awsgames I have played HL, and Gordon never fights black ops, he fights assassins but it doesn't go beyond that. Plus, Race X was terminated, i repeat, terminated by Adrian.
I know, I was pointing out that the only time black ops should be mentioned (on a half-life video) is when describing the military units in it. And I hate it too.
Just getting a simple pistol could save you, plus dead guards would have keys to get in security rooms, giving you access to a shotgun, which you can use to kill HECU and get an smg
@MrMistery101 If you think that Gordon never fought Black-Ops then you obviously have never played Half-Life 1. As for the spelling, I admit that was a typo on my part.
is that the platinum pack yeah I had that lost it during the time between Half life 2 and Half life 2 ep1 AKA the best time of my life (1st year of middle school) sept 2005
also they kinda ruined the gordan freeman we knew from black mesa, science team lead, and extreme badass, now some wierd leader of a rebel force years later,so much different. but still willing to leap through the fire.
@MrMistery101 Where do you get your info? Seriously, Gordon Freeman is just a doctor and physicist/ scientist who has NO combat training at all, and has no idea what to expect. He killed the green things from evolving and being more dangerous, and defeated the hostile military presence, and then continued onto cleaning up the alien mess and getting into Xen and killed Nihilianth.Adrian did do stuff too, but Freeman deserves more.AND THERE WERE BLACK OPS IN HL AND HL:OF get real and play the game
@EGOKHANOPOULOS2 Steam was created by Valve.. OpFor was made by Gearbox.. Soooo.... I guess Valve doesn't approve of Gearbox's music?? :o Idk. it makes me mad. Half-Life OpFor is my favorite game of all times. :D

That is probably why he used a wrench instead of a crowbar.
No, it's because a wrench was the first thing he got. He also got a knife.
Jorvaskrr I never managed to realise that until I saw your comment. I always thought it was because Shephard was a genuinely good guy...
Thomas The Dank Engine well the hecu in that time tried to survive.
But the first mision hecu got before silencing facility was rescue the personal.

Trooper Larry Oh yeah, when they’re talking about “search and rescue”. Completely forgot about that.

Couldn't have worded it better
Opposing Force's soundtrack is trying to communicate to you to get the fuck out of Black Mesa at all costs

Would you really consider Barney technically silent? He does talk in HL2. Hey, maybe if Adrian was in HL2, he'd talk.

I have a feeling once the "We are pulling out!" orders were given some left over grunts formed truces with staff to help them gtfo of Black Mesa
The mission he was on was secret, and he had no idea what he was doing. I don't think any Marine thinks "I'll probably end up going through some top secret laboratories, murdering everything in sight", since such a scenario is very unlikely.

Fuck yeah Adrian Shephard is the true hero of Black Mesa, willing to walk into the fight rather than being forced into it like Gordon.
Me and the boiz about to kick Black Ops ass
CIA Black Ops glow in the dark, you can see them if you are fighting. You just shoot em over, that's what you do..
He had a mission to do, and DAMMIT it was gonna get done.
gives me chills
That feeling whenever you get left behind
I gonna admit it. Adrian Shephard fought against monsters who are more powerfull than the ones who Gordon killed.
He got to use some powerful weapons too
You mean race x they are better than Xen and more stronger
@awsgames he defused an a-bomb, he fought black ops(freeman just fought grunts) he annihilated race x alone, ant defeated the geneworn, which i found waaaay tougher than the nihialinth. oh, and he had also absolutely no protection from radiation nor could he long jump. am i missing something?
