Beams and stones fly around it, they are nice additional details. The jumps are very hard, but eventually we reach the portal. I’d like to see what’s behind this room’s doors, but they are locked and there’s a portal which leads back to Xen. This time we will appear in the training course, and it’s nice to get to observation room where the trainees are not allowed to be. Unfortunately, he was teleported too high and didn’t survive the fall. Halfway through it we encounter a scientist with displacement device. We enter it and see very picturesque Xen place. We see destruction and fight Alien Controllers. It is certainly good to find out what happened with the teleportation chamber after Freeman’s leave. Before falling, we can kill Freeman with rocket launcher, but that won’t change anything. We can follow him, but if we do so, we’ll be teleported into empty space and fall to our death. Suddenly through the ventilation we get to the teleportation room where Freeman was sent to Xen and see him entering the teleporter. You again get to visit a locale from Half-Life which serves as a bit of an easter egg. I found the only worthwhile parts of this chapter to be when you get the displacer via a funny scripted sequence, and if you use the teleportation option of the displacer immediately. Overall this chapter is again pretty much filler – its main point is again to try and strengthen the tie between Half-Life and Opposing Force by giving you a direct intersection, when Freeman enters the portal to Xen. This section’s design was really poor and honestly I’m floored that it stayed the way it is throughout playtesting. So when you’re launched up from a bounce pad, if you haven’t chosen your path correctly, you’re either going to end up short or take a ton of damage by falling further than you expected. While I didn’t mind any of the Xen sections in Half-Life, this one annoys me – and that’s because it’s another set of jumping puzzles, but this time you’re going up and the path up isn’t clear. The Replay Experience Experiment aka TREEĪ very short chapter, but just about on par with the Xen chapter proper from Half-Life which was only a single map.Opposing Force: We Are Not Alone | RTSL Menu
