The Metropolice, also known as Civil Protection, are weaker human Combine forces fought primarily in the earlier chapters of Half-Life 2. Like with many of their counterparts, Metropolice went through a long and diverse evolution, from trenchcoats, to green coats, to brown coats, to finally black (but not trench) coats. This is the earliest revision of the Metrocop available, and one that has.

The Elite Metro Cop^[1] is an advanced Civil Protection unit cut from Half-Life 2.

Overview[edit]

Just like the Combine Soldier has the Combine Elite in the final game, Civil Protection was also to have its elite version. Its model is mostly the same as that of the standard Metro Cop, but with a different helmet, yellow eyes, as well as a different skin, such as a red patch on the chest, red shoulder-pads and gray trousers, and the same 'c̄17:i4' armband, albeit with some color differences.^[1] Its particular role and weapons used are unknown.

Though Raising the Bar shows a completed model, it is not featured in the Half-Life 2 2003 leaked files. The raw assets of its model were eventually released as part of the 2016-2017 leak. Its texture sheet refer to it as 'supercop'.

npc_metropolice is a point entity available in the Half-Life 2 series. They serve as City 17's primary police force and are one of the most basic Combine enemies.

npc_metropolice uses a small arsenal of weapons and little tactical judgement, designed for the first few levels of Half-Life 2 and its authoritarian atmosphere. npc_combine_s is usually used for the Combine's actual military force.

The gordon_precriminalglobal state makes all npc_metropolice neutral to the player and citizens, pushing the player away when they get too close and chasing them when provoked. This is used throughout the Half-Life 2 chapter Point Insertion and works best with stunsticks.

In Half-Life 2, they serve as the Combine's thought police, collectively known as Civil Protection, and mainly use stunsticks to brutally police the citizens of City 17. They are the player's main opponent throughout the first few chapters of Half-Life 2, using explosive barrels and mounted guns to their advantage and disadvantage, but they're eventually replaced with npc_combine_s and disappear until the chapter Anticitizen One, where they again function as the main Combine enemies for most of the chapter.

In code, it is represented by class CNPC_MetroPolice, defined in npc_metropolice.h.

Dedicated ConVars

ConVar/Command	Parameters or default value	Descriptor	Effect
metropolice_chase_use_follow	0	arbitrary number	Causes pre-criminal npc_metropolice with stunsticks to follow the player indefinitely.
metropolice_move_and_melee	1	arbitrary number	Makes agitated npc_metropolice activate their stunsticks right as they begin to swing, as opposed to stopping for a moment to activate it once they successfully navigate to their target.
metropolice_charge	1	arbitrary number	Toggles whether npc_metropolice with pistols charge at the player.
sk_metropolice_health	40	health amount	npc_metropolice health when spawned.
sk_metropolice_simple_health	26	health amount	npc_metropolice health when the Simple cops flag is checked.
sk_metropolice_stitch_distance	1000	hammer units	Distance that npc_metropolice will begin to attempt stitching.
sk_metropolice_stitch_reaction	1	arbitrary number	Multiplier for the amount of time shots in the stitch line travel from their starting position to the player. Fractions make the npc go through the stitching behavior multiple times, and values above 1 make the stitching slower. Bug:0 will make the game freeze the moment stitching is attempted.
sk_metropolice_stitch_at_hitcount	1	arbitrary number	Number of times a stitching npc_metropolice is allowed to hit a player. Due to random bullet spread, the result may be slightly more or less.
sk_metropolice_stitch_behind_hitcount	3	arbitrary number	Number of times a stitching npc_metropolice is allowed to hit a player while behind the player's airboat.[confirm]
sk_metropolice_stitch_tight_hitcount	2	arbitrary number	Number of times a stitching npc_metropolice is allowed to hit a player while aiming directly at the player's airboat.[confirm]
sk_metropolice_stitch_along_hitcount	2	arbitrary number	Number of times a stitching npc_metropolice is allowed to hit a player while alongside the player's airboat.[confirm]

Flags

• [1] : Wait Till Seen

Prevents this NPC from seeing (or being seen) until it enters a player's viewcone.

• [2] : Gag (No IDLE sounds until angry)
• [4] : Fall to ground (unchecked means *teleport* to ground)
• [8] : Drop Healthkit

Causes this NPC to drop an item_healthvial upon dying.

• [16] : Efficient - Don't acquire enemies or avoid obstacles
• [128] : Wait For Script

Forces this NPC to 'wait' in an idle state until it finishes playing a scripted_sequence.

• [256] : Long Visibility/Shoot

By default, increases a NPC's sight range to 6,000 units and allows it to attack from anywhere within that distance.

• [512] : Fade Corpse
• [1024] : Think outside PVS

Allows this NPC to run its regular AI outside of any player's PVS.

• [2048] : Template NPC

Marks this NPC as a template for entities like npc_template_maker. The NPC will not spawn on its own. This is not needed for point_template.

• [4096] : Do Alternate collision for this NPC (player avoidance)

• [8192] : Don't drop weapons
• [16384] : Ignore player push(in all games since )

Don't give way to player

• [131072] : Simple cops

Sets the NPC's health to the value of sk_metropolice_simple_health instead of sk_metropolice_health and enables more dramatic flinch animations. Used in the early canal levels of the game.

• [262144] : Rappel

Deprecated. Use the 'Waiting to rappel' keyvalue instead.

• [524288] : Always stitch

This forces the stitching behavior to occur. If the npc_metropolice is armed with an SMG and the player is beneath them, they will shoot a meandering, closing path of bullets (like the first metrocop in d1_canals_07.

• [1048576] : No chatter

Automatically gags the NPC and supposedly prevents some metrocop-specific speech that standard gagging doesn't. This is now believed to be non-functional.

• [2097152] : Arrest enemies
• [4194304] : No far stitching

Stops stitching if the player is over 6000 units away.

• [8388608] : Prevent manhack toss

Prevents the NPC from deploying their manhack(s). See the EnableManhackToss input.

• [16777216] : Allowed to respond to thrown objects

In pre-criminal mode, allows the NPC to chase players who have annoyed them. If this flag isn't enabled, they will call for the nearest available npc_metropolice to chase the agitator. This also occurs if the NPC is using anything other than a stunstick. This does not override the settings of an ai_goal_police.

• [33554432] : Mid-range attacks (halfway between normal + long-range)

Extends the NPC's preferred attack distance to 3500 units.
