Run. Think. Shoot. Live. Source. Black Mesa is the Half-Life 2 total conversion of the original Half-Life game. Utilizing the Source engine and its endless array of possibilities and powers, Black Mesa will throw you into the world that started the Half-Life continuum and introduced Gordon Freeman to the world as a gun-toting, bullet-dodging Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics. This mod is not dead, we are still hard at work on it.

wow
no kidding. they got the fassn wait for the massn! so manly and... idk the fassns good enough for me. (fassn and massn are multiplayer names for them, you get them in some mod, idk which one.)
i think they're only shortcuts for male assassin (massn) and female assassin (fassn). I saw the male assassin from Opposing Force.
Sven coop :3
I think the male assassin is only in Opposing Force.
Are those the fall breaking struts from portal on her legs?
I think they're the reason why the assasins can jump high.
mean like the ones that chell uses in portal?yes those i can tell are fall breaking struts :o.
I think those are 7-mile boots or how they are called
"Those things attached to her legs, by the way, are cybernetic knee enhancements. Considering how often Chell is called upon to fall from high distances, they're a definite necessity in her line of "work""
- From The Chell Section of the Portal Section in the Orange Box Prima official Game Guide
Coincidentaly, the cut Combine (female) Assassin also had these enhancements.
Indeed.
They were on the original female assassin models. Did anyone even pay attention to the old model?
I did... and I must be blind, coz i still can't see them...

yes they are
It sure looks that way. I guess when Black Mesa Blew up Apature science took over the patent lol
Yeah!It is it.
But its from Aperture Science,and that is down,and the assasin work for other guys.WTF?It cant be correct.
Its just another spec in the mist of HL lore
It actually can make sense. Aperture Science and Black Mesa were competing for government funding (as you find out in Portal if you pay a lot of attention to details) which means the government probably gets in on their inventions. Since the female assassins is work for the government, it is plausible that they are issued government funded and bought items.
I knew there were going to be Portal references in this mod
(buried)
Hubbuh hubbuh... model and shaders are AWESOME.
Get rid of those portal things on her feet! They look ridiculous
ew dude, it's just a model
I lol'ed at the -44 karma points on that post.
They don't look ridiculous at all! They fit very well with her character. Besides, they are staying true to th original game.

I always felt bad killing them...
LMAO me too dood!
These look impressive man
Lol. I always thought "die you craaazay bitch"!
hell no! those f***ers annoyed the hell outta me!
Who didn't feel bad about shootin them :(
In my 2nd assassin encounter inside of the Lambda complex, I had no qualms in annihilating the last assassin with an overcharged blast from the tau cannon.
Interesting is it not that Eli & Chell both had similar leg struts? As did the combine assassin from the hl2 leak? Everything points to it having been a shared technology...and this is meant to be a most primitive form of it, built into the boot.
It's not from portal...it existed and has been used by many groups, and it originated in hl2 long before portal existed.
Just sayin.
Eli's strut was in replacement of his old leg, not so he could fall far and not get hurt. They may look similar, but they have very different functions.
