Operation: Nova is a relatively short mod for Half-Life. You take the role of John Skinner, an HEV-clad janitor at the BMRF who collaborates with the Science Team in taking down the SAM Launcher brought in by the military to stop Doctor Gordon Freeman's rocket.

I really like this mod for the most part. I replaced the classic crowbar with a fire-axe because I don't want nigh-every single mod to have the crowbar as the melee weapon. I think some things are bullshit like the trigger for the radio Black Ops message being very specific and me missing it and only finding out about it after three playthroughs because of audio files. Also that gun where the Osprey is. I think this is a mod that would do very well with a Black Mesa remake. Even despite all that, it is a welcome addition that fits within the wider story and is plenty humorous.

The songs by zeNate that play are: Nova Prospekt plays at the start and Hammer Three Inbound plays during the Vort fight in the storage room. Close Quarters accompanies the first HECU fight and The True Citizen plays during the Black Ops battle in the offices.

You are John Skinner, a cleaner at Black Mesa. You started your day cleaning up a chemical spill, wearing a HEV suit like you often do. However, shortly after you started your shift, there was a disastrous accident in the Anomalous Materials Lab. Following the ensuing chaos, including security systems going haywire and the minor problem of an alien invasion taking place around you, you and another scientist decided to hide out in the glamorous setting of some toilets. Unfortunately for you, your HEV suit makes you look identical to Gordon Freeman - the military's most wanted man in Black Mesa. This episode takes place at roughly the same time as the latter stages of the episode 'On a Rail'. This is reflected in the storyline as it develops. A single-player episode for Half-Life 1. The episode takes place during the events featured in the original Half-Life; specifically, the episode entitled On a Rail. The player plays John Skinner, a cleaner who wears a similar HEV suit to Freeman, and is hence mistaken for him by the military. Skinner’s objective is to destroy a surface-to-air missile launcher, which the military have brought in to take out the satellite delivery rocket being launched by Freeman. The episode features voice acting performed by experienced voice actors (including some with professional voice acting experience).” Operation Nova is a Half-Life modification developed by Ben Greenwood and was released in September of 2008. The short episode puts the player in the role of John Skinner, a cleaner who's task is to destroy a surface-to-air missile launcher, which the military have brought in to take out the satellite delivery rocket being launched by Freeman. According to the map's synopsis, the events of Operation Nova are set during the events featured in the original Half-Life; specifically, the episode entitled On a Rail. You as John Skinner and you're mission is escape and destroy the millitary S.A.M launcher.
