Did he become a metro cop, just to get clearance, or did he kill one and steal the suit?

Assuming there is any. Seems to me that the people just sign up for Civil Protection to get their food... and get their kicks out of telling normal citizens to pick up cans. Barney probably just signed up, but how he got to his high status position is another matter...ríomhaire said:The question is how did he avoid the combine brain control.
It seemed to me that you only got "altered" if you were a soldier - like the nekkid guy on the monitor in Nova Prospekt. CP uniform seems to be pretty standard armor plus a gas mask: We know the clothing is just "put on" because the resistance fighters use the flak-jackets that the combine do. Barney seems to be conclusive proof that there is no kind of alteration to make you a CP MetroCop... the Soldiers and Elites however...DesertChicken said:How did he avoid getting gutted and bionicized? Can you really imagine the bullies with gas masks being any of the people from the human race (those in the apartments in Point Insertion for example) without Combine "tinkering"?
ríomhaire said:Tere defenatly is brain control. The people talk about the special water that "makes the forget". A super concentrated version is probably used on Civil Protection cops
I think this is most likely correct but we don’t know for sure. Barney might have other ways of avoiding that kind of detection… something the resistance scientists cooked up.kupoartist said:It seemed to me that you only got "altered" if you were a soldier.
They won't be "people" for long!Oxygenetic said:Simply put, metro-cops are real people who joined civil protection for food and whatnot.
Hmm... maybe you're right since knocking or killing a CP is very easy. :smoking:Pip said:Mebbe he and the science team managed to capture one and disable his 'tracking device' so the combine wouldnt know when he died under interrogation. Then Barney took the uniform and ID bypassing of security devices in suit and equipment with help from the Science team and just strolled into work as that CP.
I think people join CP for food and warm clothing then get a terrible shock when they get carved up and Combined.

Interestingly, the Raising the Bar book has a model for a higher ranked Metrocop: an "Elite Metro Cop". The patches on the uniform are red, and the helmet has a slightly different design. Didn't make it into the game, and I often wonder why...Joe said:Both would undergo some sort of brainwashing process OR, they are not given certain priviledges (Such as carrying a USP Match/ H&K MP7). Those are only obtained by "Gaining rank" in the CP units. Their commanders would select individuals who seem to really be "thorough" in their job, or seem to "believe in the combine cause" for having been doing the job for so long, and give them access to such weapons. But they would not be physically altered. The altered human in Nova Prospekt is a soldier, not a CP.

You don't just become a metrocop . They kill you , turn you into a cyborg , and then you become a metrocop . Calhoun probably knew who was he taking the suit from .

Maybe you ment the combine elite and soldiers. Civil Protections are only humans that wears gas mask.Walter said:You don't just become a metrocop . They kill you , turn you into a cyborg , and then you become a metrocop . Calhoun probably knew who was he taking the suit from .

Dont forget the guys that wears a white mask with one red giant eye that's much bred for extreme combat. :smoking:bboymatty said:metro cops and real combine are different classes all together i think
civil protection uis just human police and wear the white masks
combine are modified humans who wear black masks so are bred for the job they do.
