The Opera: Release 1.0
This is a fantastic Half-Life modification about John Woo-style gunfights—a recreation of an HKBO movie. Not a fragfest: a duel...
Ever watch a Hong Kong Blood Opera (HKBO) movie? This is one film genre which really takes action fans to the next level: the violence is stylised, carefully choreographed... it's cool.
The Opera isn't about blowing a body into a thousand pieces; it isn't about being impersonal as you send a bullet into someone's head from 800 meters away.
What The Opera IS about is John Woo-style gunfights—a recreation of an HKBO movie. Not a fragfest: a duel. Learning how to live with getting killed by a rocket launcher is easy. How about when your opponent double-taps you in the head with dual Berettas while diving backwards down a stairway?
Choose your weapons. Choose your Discipline. Choose your character. In a world of assassins, death is inevitable.
In The Opera, you won't find ammo counters, damage measured in numbers, or power-ups. HKBO movies emphasise drama over silly, mindless action.
A dynamic damage system. Flowing trenchcoats—a first for the Half-Life engine. So are 3D muzzle flashes. Akimbo weapons all over the place. Stunts galore. Be prepared.
