Will Opposing Force be incorporated into HL2?

[tmod]

I already tried the search, sorry, and it yielded no results. I don't know whether this information is public knowledge yet. I enjoyed Opposing Force very much, so will Corporal Sheppard be in HL2 like Barney? Also, the Shock Trooper, Voltigore, and Pit Drone? Without these, I might feel like something is missing somewhat. Thank you.

I dont think any one knows, but its most likly becouse of the end in Op4.

Only in an expansion pack, if anything.

I believe there was a response about this in the info thread, and the answer is no. OpFor was an exapnsion with its own plot that does not necessarily contradict HL's plot, but is not necessarily "canon" per se. It's not clear even how closely HL2's plot is related to the incidents in HL, though it certainly is related (but we might not see all the same aliens)

One of my gripes with Op4 was that you weren't evil ENOUGH. There were only a few occasions when you could murder scietists in COLD BLOOD like what you were sent there to do, like. It should have been a more gradual dependance. Freeman got more chances to kill the hapless eejits than Sheperd.
Oh yeah, that and that Race-X were a bit bum really. The Pit Drones were cool, and the Shock Troopers were quite good (I loved having their little insectoid thingy for a gun - the effect was fantaaaaastic), but the Voltigores were a bit lame, I felt. Oh, and the Super Black Ops, ie: Marines with a leather fetish... Meh. Och well. Other than that though it was splendiferous in the extreme.
