''Half-Life: Decay'' is an Add-on included in the PlayStation 2 port of the First-person Shooter Computer Game '' Half-Life '', developed by Gearbox Software and published in 2001. Like Gearbox's other , Dr. Gina Cross and Dr. Colette Green . Dr. Gina Cross is the model for the Hazard Course hologram, and can be seen at a point in ''Blue Shift''. Dr. Green is a new character invented for ''Decay''. ''Decay'' is not available through in 2006. If it will be successful they hope to remake it for Source Engine . STORYLINE Dr. Cross and Dr. Green are members of a different team in Black Mesa than ''Half-Life'' However, in ''Opposing Force'', the player can find a dead body resembling Cross's located in one of the Displacer Cannon's teleport destinations. Some argue that this may not actually be her, rather just another slain member of Black Mesa's research team since ''Decay'' had not been released at the time and likely could not have been taken into account yet. GAMEPLAY Unlike the other narrative-based ''Half-Life'' games, which are Single Player only, ''Decay'' is designed for Co-operative Play . While it can be played by one person, swapping between the roles of Dr. Cross and Dr. Green, the game is intended to be played by two players in Split-screen . Various puzzles and combat situations throughout the game require the co-operation of the two characters. The game is also unique in the context of the ''Half-Life'' series by being the only game divided into separate missions, instead of a single unbroken narrative. ''Decay'' has a ranking system for all of its nine missions, ranging from ''F'' (worst) to ''A'' (best), based on time played, number of shots fired, accuracy, number of reloads, and number of enemies killed. If all nine missions are achieved with an ''A'' level, a bonus mission, Xen Attacks, can be played as a pair of Vortigaunt s. ''Decay'' is also the only game of the series where it is possible to fight and defeat a Xen Manta ship, which serves as the final boss. EXTERNAL LINKS
