History Recap / HalfLifeWeveGotHostiles

Making his way out of the broken elevator shaft, Gordon reaches an industrial storage facility near the surface only to stumble across a panicking scientist ordering a security guard in a nearby locked security room to open the nearby silo door to escape the people that are "coming for them." However, the security guard is killed by a zombie before he could unlock the silo door, and the panicking scientists runs off and dies to a trip mine. Exploring into the storage sector, Gordon encounters Black Mesa's Military Component, the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (H.E.C.U. for short), making their way into the facility. Unfortunately, it seems that they're not actually here as a rescue team: their actual mission is to eliminate not only the aliens, but all witnesses to the Black Mesa Incident, including the entire science and security teams, and Gordon himself.

** It's possible to skip the entire level by forcing the scientist at the start to run into the locked security office door, which a glitch causes the locked door to open, and allows the player to push the button to open the door to the following "Blast Pit" level. To do this requires the player to break the scientists scripted event by shooting him, which forces the scientist into its scared mode where it tries to run from the player who shot him. The goal then is to try to lead the scared-mode scientist running around to make him run into the locked security office door.

* SidetrackBonus: The vent maze near the end of the level is filled with this. You can easily just beeline through the correct crawl-vent path to reach the end security office, but there's many dead end vent paths that lead to areas around the level where you can pick up supplies.

* JerkAss: Some of the H.E.C.U. Grunts seem to REALLY enjoy killing scientists.

* DifficultySpike: Not the worst in the game, but introducing the marines definitely inflicts this.

Gordon reaches an industrial storage facility near the surface, where Black Mesa's Military Component, the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, is entering the facility. Unfortunately, it seems that they're not actually here as a rescue team: their actual mission is to eliminate not only the aliens, but all witnesses to the Black Mesa Incident, including the entire science and security teams, and Gordon himself. To combat this new threat, Dr. Freeman must equip military-grade weaponry and fight back. He even reaches the surface at long last... only to immediately be forced back below ground by the H.E.C.U.'s bombing.

* WhamShot: A scientist rushing to meet a H.E.C.U. trooper, thanking him for the rescue...and the trooper coldly gunning him down. Yeah, the soldiers are ''not'' here to help by any stretch.

->''"Well, so much for the government!"''

* WhamEpisode: The "rescue team" is anything but.

* MoreDakka: Gordon acquires an MP5 Submachinegun.

ArtisticLicenseMilitary: Justified. The H.E.C.U. operate very differently to real life Marines, but the ''are'' a fictional branch falling under considerable corporate influence.
