Half-Life Wiki:Featured article queue/1 2010



The Black Ops, sometimes hyphenated to Black-Ops and sometimes referred to as Black Operations, are a commando group briefly seen twice in Half-Life and later expanded upon and featured in Half-Life: Opposing Force. Working independently of the HECU, they invade the Black Mesa Research Facility to conceal any evidence of the Resonance Cascade, killing all living things inside the base, whether they be Black Mesa employees, HECU soldiers, or Xen lifeforms, and eventually destroying Black Mesa itself altogether through use of a nuclear weapon.

They are divided into two groups: the Female and Male Black Ops, also known as Female and Male Assassins.
