While deviating from the original I would like to see this chapter redone mayhaps as extensively as Crowbar Collective is doing with Xen. it's a painfully short chapter for what should be the climax of the whole game. This all leads to the final chapter of the game Worlds Collide. (might explain why they don't seem to evacuate after setting up the bomb in The Package chapter.)Īll this stuff can be better demonstrated in game through animations and how Race X seems to operate and appear in the campaign. Perhaps at this time the Black Ops are given additional orders to counter this invasion while the bomb is being set up. All while constructing a base to operating from in sector E. the shock troopers are organized in their attacks and try to encircle and wipe out the remaining pockets of resistance in black mesa. attempting to take out the remaining forces of both human and xen and eastablish black mesa as the base for their own and make it safe enough to bring forth their worms (Gene and Pit). Then about chapter 8 or 9 is when they actually start their assault on Black Mesa.

All in all a slow but logical progression of their invasion. Later on in the game (in chapters 5, 6, and/or 7) when they start becoming more regular foes perhaps the first few encounters are more to test the strength and weaknesses of the human and xen forces occupying black mesa. Maybe they take some xen crystals to help construct the purple portal to summon the gene worm along with some bits and pieces of black mesa's hardware. Perhaps to study or to retrofit for their own means. perhaps some machines, weapons, maybe even a HECU trooper. Perhaps we have other appearances of the shock troopers abducting other things. Show that the shock troopers are working towards actual goals just like the black ops. They establish a forward base in black mesa so they can bring the rest of their race over along with the Gene worm and harvest earth.

The Pitworm perhaps being a creature that spawns shock roaches? Both have centipede like bodies after all. Pit Drones and Voltigore's are their war dogs and war elephants. Perhaps Race X is a semi nomadic species that travels to different worlds to harvest different material and then move on to the next.

So what do we know about Race X? We know that they were attracted to Black Mesa and wanted to invade earth for its resources and had a Gene Worm that could terriform material plus were pretty much a bio-organic species.

Since its very likely that we will never see Race X make further apprances in the Half-Life series remaking Opposing Force gives us a great opportunity to further explore Race X and better present their motives and invasion of Black Mesa.
