<div class="IPBDescription">Single player campaigns!</div> Well, I finally played the Half Life single player from start to finish in 2 days on medium. Not that I'm bragging but it was REALLY well done and I was wholly addicted. The marines in the game are VERY intelligent, it was fascinating to play against them. Extremely well done single player, if you haven't played it, give it a chance! This isthe best single player FPS I've ever played.

So my question: How is Blue shift and opposing forces? As good?

    blue shift is too short, but still okay(gives you hi' res models too)
    Opposion forces is very good, just as good as the standard, even better maybe.

    blue shift was short and not all that great. OP4 was ok. I hated those pitchblack areas though, and some of the levels were a bit bland.

    Blue Shift's short (as said), there's no new weapons, and you barely get any of the HL defaults (that's where impulse 101 comes into play) ^_^. The ending's fun though. Oh and there's barely any Xen crap to bore you to death.

    Opposing Force on the other hand it better than Half-Life Single Player. There's a decent amount of new weapons. It's pretty long. Your Allies, the Marines, actually help with blowing doors down, healing you, and killing. ^_^ The story's pretty good until the end, but that doesn't really matter. Once again, GearBox cut down on the Xen crap.

    I beat blue shift in 2 and a half hours.
    However I agree with Computer Gaming Worlds Review, in terms of advancing the story line and fun, its the sequal that Opfor should have been.

    I thought it was very fun as well.

    Opfor is a lot longer.

    If you are a die hard hl fan play them all. If you want more game play get Opfor. If you want better story line advancement get Blue Shift. But I think most PC game stores sell them in a pack anyways.

    Don't forget the other sp mods, Uplink (official demo, short but sweet). Poke646, ETC and ETCII, They Hunger etc

    Counter-Life is a fun SP add-on. It lets you play regular HL single player with CS weapons (you buy at health & HEV station) and CS hitboxes (headshots, kelvar, etc). I've been playing a great deal of that lately.

    Case Closed, USS Darkstar, and Affliction are other SP mods I like. Case Closed lacks story but has nice well-designed levels and enemy placement. USS Darkstar is a fun romp though a spaceship under Zen attack. Affliction is a nice SP mod with new skins for various weapons.

    They are both good, but blueshift is a bit of a letdown what with the shortness, and nothing new, the only thing that makes it worth buying is the hi detail model pack. I wonder if Shepard (the op force char you play) will be in hl2

    If it wasn't for Blueshift we wouldn't have the high def pack or we would have had it alot later.

    I haven't ever played Half- Life and its addons on anything other than Hard level. I don't know why.

    My fave: Natural Selection and They Hunger. Wow. And though I deride its story I love Puke646's graphics. Bloody ace.

    Blue Shift was short but sweet, Opposing Force was pretty good, and Half-Life roxors! Also if you like single player try these other mods:

    Poke646 (Very well done)
    They Hunger (Great, but gets repetitive)
    Point of View (Good, but short)
    Azure Sheep (Great, pure genius)
    Half-Quake (Wired, but good)
    Wanted! (Old West mod, very well done)
    Heart of Evil (Great Vietnam mod with zombies)

    Poke646 is short really... only 7 weapons and the're done well.
    They Hunger, long Zombie/RE style mod, models could be better.
    Point of View pretty funny, levels look half-assed.
    Azure Sheep is long and fun.
    Wanted! is pretty bad, not worth it.
    Heart of Evil would be good if it was finished.
