- "You're dead, you hear me? Dead!"
- ―Human Sergeant[src]
The Human Sergeant[1] is a HECU class cut from Half-Life.
Overview
- Originally showcased in gameplay videos of early Half-Life builds, the Human Sergeant can be found in the Half-Life model files, as many other enemies cut from the game. He is also featured in the Half-Life SDK files, where larger texture files can be found.
- As a squad leader of some sorts, he was to smoke a cigar, have a flattop haircut and a bad attitude. He was also to command grunt squads and be in radio contact with command.[1]
- According to his concept art image featured in Raising the Bar, he was originally to use an M60 for spray attack and fire rockets with his dual LAW rocket launchers.[1] In the final NPC, the M60 was replaced by a Minigun and the rocket launchers by a backpack.[2] A Combat knife can also be seen attached on his belt, although it is only part of his textures.
- While the most complete name for the Human Sergeant is provided in Raising the Bar (where it is misspelled as "Sargeant"), he has several other names. In the Half-Life files, his model and sound file folders are named "hassault" (for "human assault"); in the Half-Life SDK files, his folder is named "Hvyweapons" (for "heavy weapons"), while his .qc files use the terms "human heavy weapons" and "heavy weapons character".
- His sound file folder in Half-Life only contains the sounds for his Minigun, not his voice. However, in the Half-Life 0.52 Alpha, there is one voice clip, called hw_alert, in which the Sergeant shouts "YOU DEAD!! YA HEAR ME?!? DEAD!!".
- His face was reused with slight modifications for the Afro-American HECU soldier featured among the four original HECU models.
Trivia
- The Human Sergeant appears in Half-Life mods such as Half-Life: Point of View, Sweet Half-Life, or Sven Co-op (where the Sergeant's Minigun can be used by the player).
