One of the most promising features of Opposing Force, the add-on for Half-Life currently in development by Gearbox Software, wasn't on display at E3. Called the All-Stars levels, this feature is exactly what the name implies - a dozen multiplayer deathmatch levels created by the all-star level designers of the industry.
Today, Sierra announced that Richard Gray, aka Levelord, will be creating one deathmatch map for Opposing Force. "Gearbox is very excited to have Levelord contributing to this project," stated Randy Pitchford, co-founder and lead game designer at Gearbox. "His always clever and unique designs are sure to bring a whole new level to the Half-Life multiplayer experience with Opposing Force."
Levelord has designed worlds for Ritual's SiN, Hipnotic's Scourge of Armageddon, and is currently working on Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K.2. Gray's best work, however, is widely recognized as 3D Realm's Duke Nukem 3D. Sierra will announce more All-Star designers, mostly hailing from the Dallas area, at a later date.
