I didn't know that, but it does make sense, thanks.
Anyway, on topic, Opposing Force is fantastic, my favourite of all the Half-Life games (I wish some of it's exclusive new enemies, human and alien, were in later games too, they are good enough to deserve to be in the sequels). My preferences for the HL games are:
Opposing Force > Half-Life > Half-Life 2 >> HL2: Episode 2 >> HL2: Episode 1 >>>> Blue-Shift
Blue-Shift is by far my least favourite, it's too short, adds nothing at all (no new weapons or enemies) and just feels like a forgettable fan-made mod. Speaking of mods, some of the HL mods are excellent, and my favourite is Azure Sheep, which is what Blue-Shift should have been. In both Blue-Shift and Azure Sheep, you play as Barney the security Guard, and in both games you start the day going through the same door (you are the security guard that you see at the door when, in the beginning of Half-Life, you (as Gordon Freeman) pass Barney as you ride in the tram on your way to work). But aside from that, Blue-Shift and Azure Sheep have nothing in common. Azure Sheep is very long, very inventive, full of great ideas, and is very well recommended. Blue-Shift is none of those things. Seriously, you must play Azure Sheep.
Other great mods for Half-Life include USS Dark Star, They Hunger, ETC (that's the name of a mod, 'ETC'), Case Closed, and a lot more that at the moment I can't remember. Google finds a good list at:
