Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
Assassins
Assassins are particularly worthy enemies. They are fast, agile and smart. They work in teams and can quickly surround you or flush you out of hiding. Try and stay covered but don't be restricted by cover, and concentrate on taking out assassins one at a time.
There are two types of assassins: female assassins fire silenced handguns and do a lot of running (you saw these in some places in Half-Life); male assassins carry heavier machine guns and grenades and they don't do quite as much running around as the female assassins do.
Never expect to hit assassins up close with a handheld weapon; it just doesn't work. Instead, pull out your Mp5 or your M-249 and send up an impenetrable wall of bullets, or set a strategic tripmine or C4 satchel. Be sure to pick up the ammo left behind by fallen assassins.
