Did HECU and Black Mesa personel team-up during the final hours of Black Mesa incident?

[loshmy]

Am asking this because, apparently, they did team-up, as literally no security guards bare hostility towards Adrian Shephard like at all. I've also read somewhere that a team consisting of scientists, security guards and marines went to stop the Gene Worm together tho am not sure wether this is official.

After the Military evacuation any marines left behind were stranded with the Black Mesa personal. Some would cooperate with each other out of desperation.

Shepard never received his orders (which included eliminating the Black Mesa personel), his commanding officer was killed on the osprey crash in the intro of Op4. That's why he's friendly towards the Black Mesa team. The other grunts probably thought it was not worth it since they were abandoned by the military and were being hunted down by the black ops.

That's just for gameplay purposes. You wouldn't want your only human interaction be with your squad mates.

That's false.

I know that he never received orders. But the fact that the guards (knowing how much hostile were HECU) don't attack him at all. I would say it was for game's purposes just like the comment bellow says, but I also think there's something else.

It says that on the wiki. Also the security guard at the end of Opposing force tells Adrian one of his HECU buddies went down but haven't returned. Although the marines will still shoot at BM personel when they see them (and vice versa).

He mentions a squad of marines going down there, but there is no mention of scientists and guards tagging along. I could be wrong though.

Yeah, that's probably for gameplay purposes. It would be confusing for players being attacked by some guards, but not others.

The only possible clue we got was the guard telling Shepard some of his buddies went down there (to the gene worm). We don't know if they are actually team up with BM personnel, or the guard was just spying on them (without the soldiers noticing the guard) going down the elevator.

Before that, all soldier interactions (besides shepard) with BM personnel are always hostile. I won't be surprised if the marines did team up with them, because why not? They're stranded in the middle of a crossfire between the more ruthless government operatives and the growing army of aliens/zombies. The marines would really need to get all the help they can get from the civilians at that point.
