Behind the scenes[edit]
- The original beret model resembles actor Clint Eastwood.
- Originally, the HECU was to feature a special type of soldier nicknamed the Human Sergeant. The character was cut, but his head model was used a generic HECU Marine in the final game.
- The drill instructor player model used in Half-Life: Opposing Force was modeled after the character Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (played by R. Lee Ermey) from the movie Full Metal Jacket.
- Half-Life's Marine models were used as placeholders in the early screenshots of Opposing Force.
- Strangely, the Half-Life: Opposing Force gas mask marine's mask reuses Half-Life: Day One's mask texture.
