Operation Black Thunder – Half Life

Background Story

Name: Roger McAllen
Age: 32
Rank: Corporal
Operational Area: Special commando for acts of sabotage in crisis areas

10.6.2031
After years of negotiation the 12 leading military powers agree to halve the size of their armies and to either demolish or convert bases that are no longer in use. In spite of initial mistrust the project makes good progress and after a week numerous bunkers, launch ramps and other military bases are already prepared for conversion. Key positions are still under heavy military guard in case of incidents.

17.6.2031
However numerous US bases are suddenly lost to the extensive attacks of an unknown organisation. One of these bases is a launching ramp. Troops stationed in the vicinity attempt to retake it but fail.

18.6.2031
The WOLF-Organisation (Worldwide Organized Liberation Front) claims responsibility and threatens to attack nearby towns using the long-range missiles they have in their power if the US Army attempts further retaliation. The motives of this organization are unclear.

19.6.2031
A new attempt at retaliation fails and the WOLF-Organisation carries out its threat on neighbouring towns, an attack causing 327 deaths and many more wounded. The situation escalates.. A week later, after negotiations have broken down, the US government decides to make use of the NASF (National Antiterrorist Strike Force) in order to weaken the opponent from within by means of specially targeted acts of sabotage.

And so it begins
After five successful training years with the NASF, Roger McAllen begins his first mission behind enemy lines. He and his highly specialized team are only given minimal information before carrying out their task. Further details are supplied later by radio contact. After a short briefing the troops are deployed using transport helicopters to an area about 20 km south of the launching ramp base. Their first objective is to find and destroy an artillery vehicle in the ruins of the city. The second objective is to blow up a damn as a distraction whilst they infiltrate the launch base. Once there, they are to defuse the missiles, which constitute the basis of the WOLF-Organisation’s threat.

  • Some puzzles can be fun and rewarding.
  • I can live without a HUD.

    cant seem to find a version of this that isnt corrupt.

    I’ve just downloaded and tested the Steam links above and they worked for me. You need to download the main file and the relevant update.

    What errors did you receive?

    I recently approved a comment on this mod by somebody looking for the opbt_bsp.wad. I don’t know why the comment didn’t appear but please contact me directly and I will send you the file or a link.

    I was the one asking for the opbt_bsp.wad., because the installation didn’t give the opbt_bsp.wad., (The installation has an error), so, does planetphillip have the opbt_bsp.wad?

    I just downloaded this mod and the keyboard edit is missing! I can edit the audio and video but not the keyboard. I have to use the A,D,and some other keys. I am used to using the arrows for moving. I edit button is there but theres nothing to edit. the green box is blank.

    Any ideas?

    Download the update opbt-update-for-steam.exe, or, alternatively, go in the mod folder and rename or delete the \opbt\gfx\Shell\kb_act.lst file.

    Well, It didn’t work for long. Every time I die I have to reset it twice,once on the intro. and again when the game starts.
    It won’t keep the edit. Simple solution is not to die,right? lol
    Frustrating!
    I did both the delete and the update. :(

    andyb said”create a copy of the config.cfg file on your desktop and rename it to userconfig.cfg and put it into the game folder with the config.cfg.”

    I did that and is froze the game at the start screen. lol But it gave me an idea.

    I went to my bmsl folder and copied the “config.cfg” which was 4kb and pasted to the “opbt” folder, the “config.cfg” was 3kb. It asked me if I wanted to replace the “config.cfg” I clicked yes. Now I got key binding/I can edit my keys.

    Thanks! andyb and Gilfrarry!!!!

    Now, I can’t get pass the sniper after I shot down the helicopter at the beginning of the game. arrrrggggg!

    I’m stuck! I hope I’m not being a pain.
    I blew up the dam and I’m past the heliport. I’m at a 2nd small heliport trying to reach it. It’s a long jump. There’s no way I can make that jump,it’s to long. Here’s a pic. http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w68/Red_Dog57/BlackThunder.jpg. I read the walkthrough,it still didnt help. Advise,Please…
