This is a sub-page of Proto:Half-Life: Opposing Force.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

The official demo of Opposing Force was originally released in early March 2000, and contains about an hour of gameplay. Much like Day One & Uplink, it is standalone, and does not require a previous install of Half-Life.

Despite being released way later than the game, a few tidbits from the original Press Demo are still present here.

The main menu isn't that much different from retail WON releases, with the difference that the demo's menu has the word "DEMO" on top of the Lambda logo. It even has the unique messages, too!

Demo

Retail WON

Maps#

Almost half of the game is skipped when you reach the loader room, instead fading out to the offices late into the game.

Boot Camp#

The bootcamp/training level fades to black after your Drill Instructor tells you to go to the Advanced Training Facility.
