Opposing Force Idea's Created 20 years ago2004-07-28 17:32:31 UTC by Tycell

Ok, I have an idea that sortof co-insides with Hazardous's TWHL map. Using the full capabilities of Opposing Force whats the BEST story line you can come up with? A very short and simple story, doesnt have to be ub3r c0mpl3x just somthing thats cool and original.

Post your ideas here and then I, and anyone else who want to volenteer, will make the short set of maps based on your idea.

There can be no more than 3 maps worth of story, maybe later if this catches on I may incorperate a 5 map limit but for now 3 maps is the limit. Come up with an idea and if I think the idea is original and will be cool and effective then I will map it for you and post it in the map vault - Start thinking.

Some pointers -

1. Try to think of ways of using the full Op4 potencial (e.g. all the stuff that is not in HL).

2. You dont have to be adrian but it would help as all the allies say shephard this shephard that.

3. TRY to come up with a story where the Gman ISNT the evil menecing badguy!

Why are you still reading this? Get planning.

1. Why don't you plan yourself?

2. Shephard, together with a small task force (4-5 troopers?) infiltrates Black Mesa by night. Their goal is to set up a small communication post and scout out the area before the others will arrive. Black Mesa is already infested at that moment and when they enter trough a small water filtering system, their team is being attacked by shock troopers. During the fight, Shephard falls into the water and the screen fades black. Later, he awakens with 2 of his fellow troopers trying to cure him. They've set up a radio and they've asked for extraction, but HQ told them that may take some time.
During this talk, shock troopers invade the room and kill your mates. The screen fades black again. (the shock troopers think you're dead so they leave the room without harming you) Later, you awake and it's up to you to find a way out to the extraction point.

Well, maybe that helps a bit... throw in a nest of those pitbeasts and such and you've got yourself some little survival story...

Using all enemies and stuff would probably make the story too unrealistic, too fast or chaotic, in my opinion.

After all, a good story has to be coherent and believable, right?

No i dont mean use all of them, i mean use the new Op4 enemies, not nesisarily all of them.
