Story
“Bootleg Squadrog, sir. It is not about individualism. It is not about cowboy heroism. It is about being one cohesive unit. The only identity I have is that of a group identity.”
-Adrian Shepherd
3rd Regiment Bugstompers
Blumberg Base, Wisconsin
Excerpt from “History Belated: The Black Mesa Incident”
(New Mexico Collegiate Press, Hobbs, 1987)
Chapter 10.4
Dust on the lens was a prior culprit and it was believed that it was dust on the lens yet again when the infrared negatives showed ground anomolies. The region in question was southwest North America, specifically the northwest quadrant of New Mexico.
Satellite reconnaisance noticed objects spontaneously appearing on the desert sands in periodic intervals of 10.67 hours. The first object was a 1961 Buick Oldsmobile. It was hastily whisked away by Black Mesa technicians soon after its appearance. The vehicle was later followed by a striped basketball, a portable oven grill, and a small brown kitten (most likely a Calico).
Trans-teleportation was a hot-button topic during World War II, culminating in the bittersweet Philadelphia/Norfolk incident and the lesser-known Wilmington/Atlantis dilemma. The research being conducted at Black Mesa was highly illegal and scientifically dubious. But, not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, a decision was made to preserve Black Mesa and extract prime scientists.
The call was made for base infiltration and the exfiltration of one key scientist named G. Freeman. A marine squadron stationed in Wisconsin answered the call.
Author’s Note
“I was very impressed with the job done on Opposing Force. The new models were very well done and the “attitude” of the whole deal was spot on. But throughout the game I was hoping to see more squad-based, teamwork scenarios. These are supposed to be highly trained marines after all; working as a lone cowboy just seemed out of place. So Bootleg Squadrog is my attempt at team-based goodness. I am fascinated with organized military maneuvers, and the scripting system of Half-Life made squad implementation possible.”

The stand alone Gtotto King using the Q2 engine was really an enjoyable short experience

Small, and very great Opposing Force mod which offer more teamwork then original Opposing Force. You have to work with other soldiers, which gives a true “soldier” feeling. The mapping is also nice, BUT the mod could be a bit harder.
4,5/5

Environmentally, a well designed mod. Original gameplay is a nice idea but very easy, all your mates do the work with not much input from you. Only one team-mate can be ‘used’, and that’s for a specific task. Some are indestructable as they have to trigger other events. And some just disappear into thin air when the script no longer requires them.
An experimental mod that could be better with more player involvement.
