Further evidence of their viciousness can be seen after discovering a Marine engineer who, after being brutally beaten and interrogated, is simply left for dead, trapped in a garage. HECU radio traffic shows that the Marines are at first totally taken by surprise, much like how the HECU initially overwhelms the Black Mesa personnel. However, the Black Ops soon start killing all of the non-Black Ops personnel they can find. While the HECU are aware that the Black Ops group exists, they are utterly confused by their arrival and wonder if they are there to assist. The Black Ops are openly hostile towards Marines, killing any who have not yet escaped as part of their mission. One assassin angrily remarks to another, "Why do we always have to clean up a mess the grunts can't handle?". Although not visible, they apparently have a communicator in their ear which they are seen listening to whenever they eliminate a target.ĭuring gameplay, Black Ops are shown to have utter contempt for the HECU, considering them incompetent and inept. Some are seen wearing night vision goggles. Male Black Ops wear black combat gear and balaclavas that only expose their eyes. The flash of a nuclear explosion is later witnessed in the epilogue, indicating the successful detonation of this bomb.Īlong with the Female Black Ops, Opposing Force introduced the group's male variant. Adrian Shephard locates the bomb the Black Ops deliver in a parking garage and is able to disarm it, but shortly thereafter it is seen being reactivated by the G-Man. To do this, they intend to set off a thermonuclear device within the complex. Opposing Force explains that, after the initial failure of the HECU's clean-up operation, the Black Ops are sent to cover up the whole incident by destroying the entire facility. The reason for their presence at Black Mesa is also explained, something that was never made clear in the original game.
Maxiron and Jakerockwell in Opposing Force.īlack Ops are featured much more prominently in Opposing Force. They are armed with a suppressed Glock 17 and grenades. They wear a black jumpsuit and use night vision goggles that include a headset with a microphone, although none are ever heard speaking. Only Female Black Ops are seen by Gordon Freeman in the game.įemale Black Ops are strikingly nimble and agile, able to sprint faster than any other enemy and can jump to extreme heights. The Black Ops first appear in Sector E in Half-Life during the chapter Apprehension, and later make one more appearance in Sector F, during the chapter Lambda Core.
