This is an idea I have for an opposing force style game based around the events of hl2. This is what happens in it-
Chapter 1: Welcome back...
The game begins when you are in a steel cage with several other people. The cage is infact on a train which is moving through what looks like a prison, complete with combine gaurds mooching about and prisoners in cells. On the screen flashes up-

Just as it fades away the train comes out of the prison and onto a track on the edge of a cliff. You go into a tunnel for a while and then come out onto the bridge in hl2. While going over it a combine comes into the cage and begins to speak-
"You are now citizens of City 17. Upon arrival you will recieve a tracker which will be taken with you at all times. The punishment for straying outside your allowed zones or any attempt to remove the tracker will be severe."
The combine walks out, pausing for a moment when it sees you. You go into the next tunnel. After a while you hear a sudden screeching sound and the train slows to a stop. You begin to hear radio chatter as combine rush out of the train a run down the track.
"Unidentified species"
There is a gun fight and soon you begin to hear cries of-
"Urgent assitance needed" and "Reinforcemnents critical"
Your fellow inmates are panicing and screaming to be let out. For a second there is silence as the final combine is slaughterd. Then something, to fast for you to make out what it is, leaps towards the cage, and the lights go out. You hear screams as the thing enters the pitch black cage and attacks the people in there. You hear its breath get closer and closer, and then slowly die away. A few seconds later one light flashes on, showing you where the cage had been ripped open. You go out and see the dead combine litterd about, you can pick up a sub and pistol from them too. You begin to walk away down the tunnel to the light when you hear the creatures onimous breath coming towards you. It dies away again, but suddenly it jumps at you and everything goes black. You wake up on your side and see several combine in silver and red suits fighting the creature. They are not like the combine in hl2, they are holding what look like to be energy shotguns. For the first time you see the creature. It is as almost as tall as the tunnel, it has thin long legs and arms which end in pincers. Its whole body is covered in headcrabs. You recognise its green skin, this is one of the "benefactor" aliens from inside the citadel, after being attacked by a head crab. You black out again, waking up to find just one elite combine is left. The alien zombie plunges one of its pincors into the combine and brings it up to its face. With the last of it energy the combine lifts up its energy shotgun and blasts the creature in its face. All goes black once more.
You wake up again and get on your feet. One way down the tunnel is blocked by the train which has now been turned over and the other by a dropship which has come into the tunnel. There is a door at one side of the tunnel, but that is blocked by fire which kills you when you go into it. However you can go up to the dropship and enter it, inside there is what looks like an armory, however all the guns have been taken out. All there is is a silver and red vest like the elite combine where wearing. You put this on. Some alien language flashes up, then anouther which is equally as weird. Finally english flashes up, you see the message "Establishing neuroconnections". That goes away and a HEV suit style HUD comes up, telling you your armour and health levels. You go back to the door and step through the fire. Anouthe message comes up which looks a lot like the auxillary power bar, except this one is called "Energy Level". As you step through the fire you see a silver gleam on your hands , intresting.
You step through the door...
