Black Ops In Seven Hour War
So I have heard all about the seven hour, how it happened and all that, but what happened to the Black Ops? Why weren't they in the 7 hour war, all I see are H.E.C.U Marines fighting in this war, but not a single sight of Black Ops, Was every single Black Ops troop sent to Black Mesa but then all died to the bomb?

We never directly see the 7 Hour War so we don’t know much. The Black Ops and HECU were just US special forces and the US military was destroyed during the war.

This ^. Along with the fact H.E.C.U probably took enough losses during the resonance cascade, let alone the entire worlds militaries.

I would assume everything was on the line, especially if prior to the combine arriving the Xen races were appearing all over the planet.

There's also the possibility that the Black Ops troops we see in Opposing Force were some sort of Combine Fifth Column, acting to soften up Earth's defenses before the invasion properly began. We know that they're acting in direct opposition to H.E.C.U, as you have to fight them numerous times during the game. Given that the G-Man's hampering your progress through that game, they might also be taking orders from him.
The reason for the Black Ops fighting HECU was to completely cover up and destroy Black Mesa. Apparently the Black Ops are a different force imposed by the CIA(?).

With losses come dissent and eventual need to reveal the truth to the world. That couldn't be allowed to happen."

but the point is they may have killed the HECU to cover up the bms facility but weren't they part of the military as well? because clearly HECU marines did actually fight in this war just not the black ops, even after the 7 hour war you still don't see any black ops and it even says the military were part of this war so that also means their are some possibilities 1. All black ops got killed by the bomb in black mesa 2. they all got killed by xen aliens from portal storms

They've been confirmed as a contracted arm for the government

(Bush did Black Mesa)

actually you can see some events of 7 hour war if you watch the so hated, hunt down the freeman, there you meet black op dude called adam, while you play as hecu soldier, and you fight through streets

Not sure if the op is still following this dead thread but they were mostly obliterated in the 7 hour war and those organizations perished along with other Earth's mightiest military. Even hunt the freeman down showed that the surviving members are in another faction.

the black ops pulled out before the bomb exploded my guess the female assassins are the cut combine assassins and the male assassins fate is unknown
