'''''Nuclear Winter''''' is a 2002 ''VideoGame/HalfLife1: Opposing Force'' mod by Loki's Missions.
In [[NextSundayAD 2017 AD]], the [[DirtyCommunists Eastern Alliance]] launched an attack of cloaked nuclear missiles upon North America. After doing so, their forces arrive on American shores to occupy all that remains.
Sure enough, the US military refused to give up without a fight, resulting in a battle that raged on for months. This is where you come in, Corporal Adrian Shephard of the United States Marine Corps.
Although the mod requires ''Opposing Force'' at first, its second (and current) version only requires a Steam version of ''Half-Life''.

!!''Nuclear Winter'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Shephard comes across one. And it's filled with mutants.
* AllThereInTheManual: The mod's readme provides an in-depth backstory.
* AlternateHistory: [[SocietyMarchesOn As of 2010]].
* AmericaSavesTheDay: [[spoiler:The GoldenEnding ultimately becomes this]].
* ArtisticLicenseMilitary / WeaponsUnderstudies:
** The Eastern Alliance using Apache helicopters. And if you count the HD pack, M4 carbines. Can be {{handwaved}} in that the Eastern troops stole American weapons and vehicles during the invasion.
** Like ''Opposing Force'', Shephard, a Corporal, is ''still'' referred to as "sir" by his fellow marines.
* BadassArmy: Both the Americans and the Easterns.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Vladimir Kosomov[=/=]The G-Man]].
* BlackHelicopter: The black Eastern Apaches.
* CrapsackWorld: The United States, being a war-torn nuclear wasteland.
* CrateExpectations
* DarkIsEvil: The Eastern Alliance wear black uniforms and use black vehicles. They're actually Black Ops by any other name.
* DeathFromAbove: There are lots ''and lots'' of airstrikes in the city levels.
* DirtyCommunists: The Eastern Alliance, [[AllThereInTheManual consisting of]] [[RedChina China]], UsefulNotes/NorthKorea, UsefulNotes/{{Vietnam}}, the Middle East, and [[TheNewRussia Russia]].
* {{Dystopia}}
* {{Eagleland}}: Type 1 flavor.
* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies
* FacelessGoons: Again, the Eastern troops.
* HeroicMime: Shephard
* HoistByHisOwnPetard[=/=]KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Towards the end of the mod Shephard destroys Kosomov's facility using one of its own nuclear charges]].
* HopelessWar: The invasion is becoming this for the Americans.
* ILoveNuclearPower: Shephard encounters nuclear mutants (actually reused Xen[=/=]Race X critters) in some levels. [[spoiler:Turns out they are created by the Easterns under Kosomov's supervision]].
* InvadedStatesOfAmerica: Overlaps with FallenStatesOfAmerica.
* LeaveNoSurvivors:
-->'''Marine commander:''' Attention, all units, this is Mother Goose. We must fall back and regroup at the city center. I repeat, fall back and regroup at the city center. Take no prisoners! Over and out.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot
* NukeEm: How the Eastern Alliance occupied most of the States.
* OneWorldOrder[=/=]TakeOverTheWorld: [[spoiler:The Eastern Alliance's goal.]]
* PoliceAreUseless: Subverted. The three police officers Shephard encounters in the city are quiet capable of defending themselves from Eastern troops. Doesn't mean they'll always win, though.
* RedScare
* SceneryGorn
* SemperFi
* SicklyGreenGlow: From nuclear spills to nuclear energy beams, the list goes on.
* SociopathicSoldier: Pretty much any and all Eastern soldiers Shephard encounters throughout the mod.
* ShoutOut: Some of the scientists Shephard meets in the mod are apparently ''[[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xena]]'' fans.
* TheStoner: During [[spoiler:the assault on Kosomov's facility]], Shephard's squadmates talk about smoking weed.
* TankGoodness: Unless you're American.
-->'''Marine:''' I wouldn't go out there if I were you, Shephard. That gook tank's gonna blow your freakin' balls off, man! Charlie's mean, he's really mean he can kick a chicken some serious ass!
* TooDumbToLive: The aforementioned Marine above tries to shoot a tank ''with his assault rifle'' after Shephard meets with him. He ends up getting blown to LudicrousGibs afterwards.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture
* TheVoiceless: The Eastern soldiers.
* TheWarOnTerror: Mentioned on the mod's backstory. The increasingly "questionable" morality of the war led to China and Russia leaving the [[UsefulNotes/UnitedNations UN]], consequently establishing the Eastern Alliance.
* WorldWarIII
