You forgot the best part: one of the guns is a freaking fish that shoots explosive eggs.

Anyone that doesn't play this game knowing that information is a fool.

OK, I actually forgot that. TBH this is just a rewrite of my Opposing Force review two years back and haven't played the game since. The crappy original is on GameFAQ's, those days before I joined HG and still stuck to the FAQ's standard layout.

This is an interesting review. I played maybe ten minutes of OF once. I liked it, but this was on a friend's computer, so there was no real way for me to actually play it myself. Are the Black Ops assaults you refer to those assassins (which you only fight like 5 of in the original)? I hate those guys...

You might want to do more editing, though, because I found a few awkward things. I'll just send them through HG mail since the stuff I found got a bit long.

Aye, thanks veyr much for those. It takes a lot of personal proofreads before I'm happy, but I can at times be a bit too hasty to post. I'll get on to them. :)

EDIT: Done now. I don'tmind people being fussy over grammer, no use having a review plagued with grammatical errors that can easily be ironed out. Good shout wolfie!

Those Black Ops guys, um they're like ninja stealth suiters who are drssed in black. They may be, there might have eben some in the original but I don't know.

Heheh. No problem. Yeah, that reads better now. Though now you have an HTML error in the last paragraph. Ended up italicizing the whole thing instead of just "Opposing Force".

And I don't know... maybe the black ops people you're talking about are different. The ones I'm thinking of are ninja-esque, but they're also really fast and jump really high and you can't effectively hit them or kill them unless you make them trip on a laser mine or something.
