Template:Hl2 point They make up the Combine's police force.
They are usually seen beating civilians and later being beaten by civilians. They have two different kinds of AI, one is used for policing in the beginning of Half-Life 2 and the other is the combat AI we see everywhere else.
Their policing AI, not to be confused with ai_goal_police, involves pushing the player if they get too close, responding to thrown physics objects, and, if allowed, chasing the player for 3-7 seconds. They can guard an area with ai_goal_police or patrol with ai_goal_actbusy. It can be activated with the global "gordon_precriminal", shown in the editor as "Gordon pre-criminal".
Their combat AI focuses on slowly advancing towards an enemy and overwhelming them with numbers. They will rarely take cover unless they take critical or repeated damage. They can carry up to two deployable manhacks on their shoulder, specified via keyvalue. If a cop is killed while holding a manhack in their hand to deploy it, the manhack will still be deployed.
Bug:Standing directly in front of a cop while they are deploying a manhack may provoke them to suddenly return to attacking you before they can deploy the manhack, causing the manhack to stick to their hand until the cop dies, after which it deploys as normal. This can be worked around with the "Prevent manhack toss" spawnflag and the "EnableManhackToss" input. [todo tested in ?]If a npc_metropolice is armed with an SMG and the player is in the airboat, the cop can "stitch" by shooting a meandering, closing path of bullets into the water in front of the vehicle. See the "Always stitch" and "No far stitching" spawnflags for more control over usage and range.
Note:Some keyvalues, spawnflags, effect flags, inputs, or outputs might not affect an NPC, based on the functionality and coding of the NPC.Dedicated Console Variables

- sk_metropolice_stitch_reaction <int>
- How close to the airboat should Metrocops begin stitching.
- sk_metropolice_stitch_at_hitcount <int>

- Weapons ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>
- What weapon this Metrocop should spawn with. Choices are:
- Pistol
Tip:Cops have bad aim with the pistol, so they will periodically take a couple steps toward the player if they can path to him. - SMG1
- Stun Stick
- Shotgun Bug:This NPC doesn't have proper animations for this weapon. [todo tested in ?]
- Nothing
- Pistol
- Number of Manhacks ([todo internal name (i)]) <choices>
