Lambda Wars (formerly Half-Life 2: Wars) brings the struggle between the human resistance and their Combine overlords to a multiplayer real-time strategy setting. The Lambda Wars beta only requires Alien Swarm installed to play. It features 3 multiplayer game modes: Sandbox, Annihilation and Overrun, showcasing the Rebels and Combine playable factions and a full-fledged RTS interface and HUD. There is also a singleplayer tutorial and a handful of singleplayer missions.

Description
Refugees (Rebel citizens) by Ninja_Nub. Rebel Partisans use this skin as well.
makes me wonder if there exist Bandits in the HL world, that are not related to the resistance.
I would guess probably yes, but how many?
i doubt it, the combine would be hunting them down all the time
They are hunting the Resistance down all the time too, so whats to stop a few groups of bandits, who aren't attacking the combine so as to stay unnoticed, from existing? Would be interesting I think.
I think in HL2 world bandits would have nobody to rob. Refugees fleeing from Combine-dominated cities have almost no belongings, and attacking the Resistance that has some Vance/Kleiner's technologies and inside information from people like Barney in CP, let alone Combine, is too dangerous for just a bunch of outlaws.
Most likely, Combine will establish contact with these outlaws and recruit them as metrocops.
thats very true
but still in reality, I believe there would be at least some desperate people that would take a less morally good way to get resources
basically bandits
But for combine to recruit them as metrocops I dunno, doesnt feel like they would trust them, among other things.
What could really be possible are Resistance groups going rogue and acting like bandits: jackaling on weaker squads etc. Again, Combine will definitely try to find them and force into collaboration.

Combine don't fully trust metrocops either, that's why metrocops aren't issued with heavier weapons than MP7 SMGs until they undergo Memory Replacement and other procedures to become programmed cyborgs that will never betray, i.e. Combine Soldiers Half-life.wikia.com
For Combine, the best way to use the outlaws against the Resistance is to make them collaborate.
Ah yea thats true and havent thinked about it myself, and also when you mentioned it, I realised they dont have a single metro cop in the Citadel or Nova Prospekt, just the combine soldiers.
That's because "metro cop" literally means city police.
It's also likely the bandits will be headcrabbed.
