YMMV / Opposing Force Foxtrot Uniform

Go To

  • That One Level: The Chapter "Foxtrot Uniform" offers the player a lot of pain.
    • First off is a rather nasty map layout where Shephard must traverse a darkened sewer network. Not only must the player figure out the right path throughout the dark tunnels, but the sewer network also happens to have at least ten Voltigores throughout the sewer, all of which charge at you to give you a rough time. There's also a room where an infinite amount of Pit Drones attack, and force Shephard to make a quick move to close the two gates they're coming from before they overwhelm him. It was worse in the original game which was plagued with a couple of game-breaking bugs where not only couldn't you save in this map but using the Shock Roach was restricted. Doing either one of these actions causes the game to crash if the later game patches for these bugs weren't implemented.
    • After the sewer network, Shephard enters the next map (actually the map prior to entering the sewer network after experiencing the effects of an airstrike) that starts off with three allied soldiers, but the player will quickly realize that they won't be of much help here because the area is absolutely loaded with Shock Troopers (and a couple of strategically-placed Voltigores, as if the nest in the sewer you just navigated wasn't enough). By the time the player reaches the next map revisiting the Hydroelectric Dam from Half-Life, Shephard will very likely have most of his ammo spent, and health down in the red.
