The Combine Guard[1] is the predecessor to both Metro Cops and Combine Soldiers.
Overview[edit]
The Combine Guard is one of the earliest humanoid Combine units designed - at the time it appears it was the only Combine humanoid to exist, shortly before being split to create both the Metro Cop and the Combine Soldier. With an all-black uniform with vertical straps, a long trench coat and a white helmet, it was inspired in part by the German SS uniforms of World War II. Once it evolved into the Metro Cop along with one of the (bulkier) helmet designs, the other (flatter) helmet design was recycled into the Combine Soldier.[1]
A model was created for the Metro Cop once the Guard's design had been recycled for it, but it had long since been replaced by the time of the Half-Life 2 leak, and only parts of its textures remained in the leaked files. As seen in the leak textures, the first known model of Barney Calhoun used this design.
Though unrelated, a part-human, part-Synth unit showcased in the E3 2002 map "Terminal" bears the same name.
