>>11851940 (OP)I actually agree with this. The original overstays its welcome; Opposing Force is shorter, but feels more tightly designed. I like the guns in Opposing Force more than the original. The level design in Opposing Force has less unfair traps than the original. Covering the same incident, over the same period of time, but from a different perspective is a cool idea. The only thing I don't like about Opposing Force is that the ending feels anti-climactic, but Xen in the original isn't exactly a paragon of a great ending either.
