As you all know, Valve added back their intro into Half-Life as a part of big 25th anniversary update last year. Unfortunately, they didn't do the same for Half-Life: Opposing Force.
Personally for me, this intro carries a nostalgic value and has that unique feeling and style of late 90's and early 2000's.
Therefore, I've decided to restore it entirely and to implement into newest version of the game without upscaling or losing any bit of the original quality.
At first, I did it personally for myself, but then I've thought that some of oldschool Opposing Force fans also would like to enjoy it once again.

You can download it from my Google Drive[drive.google.com]and Mediafire[t.ly]
If you, for some reason, don't want to use short URL or it will stop working, then you can copy a direct link to download page on Mediafire (remove the space before "com"): mediafire. com/file/cuu7ga5bfqmkv6w/Half-Life_Opposing_Force_original_WON_intro.rar

Installation is very easy:

1. Open your Half-Life directory, which is located in "Steam\steamapps\common", or go to your Steam library, press Right Mouse Button on Half-Life or Opposing Force, hover your cursor on "Manage" and click on "Browse local files".

2. Open the downloaded archive and drag the folder called "gearbox_addon" into your Half-Life directory.
After that, in your Half-Life directory, go to "gearbox\media", then go back to the archive and proceed to "gearbox\media".
Now drag the text file called "StartupVids" into the folder, which you've just opened in your Half-Life directory ("Half-Life\gearbox\media").

3. When you will finish copying files, launch the game, click on "Options", go to the tab "Content" and check the option which says "Allow custom addon content", as it is shown in the screenshot below. Then press "Apply" and the game will restart automatically.


























And that's it, now you have successfully installed the modification.

Also, I've restored intro for other games from Half-Life's franchise, so I highly recommend you to check this out:
