Two bits about Half-Life this afternoon for you...first up is an interview with Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford over on AVault about their new Half-Life mission pack Opposing Force, which he says will be shown at E3. Also, ModCentral posted this bit from Harry Teasley, regarding Valve's desire to show off HL mods at E3:

Sierra Studios would like to extend the opportunity to all mod teams to showcase their Half-Life add-on at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the gaming industry's largest trade show, this May 12th through 15th in Los Angeles, CA. Sierra is looking for professional-quality mods of any type, so here's a rare opportunity to display your skill and creativity before the entire computer and video game industry.

Add-ons chosen for the show will be shown on the show floor on PCs specifically designated for these demos and will be included on a special CD distributed to the gaming press. This is an incredible opportunity for add-on teams to make themselves known to the industry professionals. If you wish to be considered for inclusion in the Sierra Studios E3 Half-Life presentation, send your mod or ftp information to het3@valvesoftware.com no later than May 10, 1999.

Regards,
Harry Teasley
