Half-Life Hints
Military Assassins
Military assassins can be very difficult. They are quite stealthy, quick, and precise. They will usually see you before you see them. You will never be able to get close enough to them to fight up close. They will backflip out of your reach the second you try it.
Instead of chasing after them, find some relative cover and listen for their footsteps. Wait for them to approach and then fire an Mp5 grenade or just fire at them until they go down. Watch for the flash of light given off by their weapons in order to locate them in darker areas. You will only have to deal with assassins twice in the game, but they can be very quick and agile, making them very difficult to kill.
Note that on Difficult level, assassins have a cloaking device they can use to make them even harder to track.
