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 as a generic HECU Marine in the final game.
- The drill instructor player model used in 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 Opposing Force gas mask Marine's mask reuses the earlier mask texture from Day One rather than the final mask texture from the full game.
- The commander seen at the beginning of Opposing Force has a notably different face texture in the High Definition Pack. The new texture seems to be based on the early HD beret head model from the Dreamcast port of Half-Life.
