I remember being quite disappointed by this back in the day. Now, though, I really appreciate a lot of little things about it, like how it foregrounds the slaughter of the scientists or getting to experience the totally thankless position of the working class protagonist. It's nice to get back to fighting the soldiers again too, instead of trying to humanize them, although OPPOSING FORCE did a decent enough job of that. I'm much more comfortable playing as some poor shmoe who gets no respect.

Given that this was originally meant as an extra for the Dreamcast port, you can't expect a huge new campaign from it. But even without knowing that, there's not really much to criticize. It doesn't matter that it's short, or that there aren't any new weapons or enemies -- it's a nice extra slice of HALF-LIFE action, and that's enough.
