Black Ops



Black Ops are the special infantry units of the U.S. Army. They are only seen alive in Resistance: Fall of Man in the final cutscene, retrieving Nathan Hale from the outskirts of London for induction into the Sentinels program. However, during the course of the game their dead bodies can be seen in various levels, and their communications (encrypted in Morse Code) can be heard when pausing the game, revealing some back-story on Fall of Man. It is revealed from these coded messages that the Black Ops have been trailing Hale since the start of the game, in an attempt to extract him out of England so he could be inducted into the Sentinel Program. They are almost always seen in SRPA facilities, so they are most likely the military arm of the organization. They are apparently divided up into teams, though how many members this team has is unknown. Lima Team was mentioned during the battle at the SRPA base in Iceland, where they were reported to have been killed while attempting to hold a breach in the facility's wall.

In Resistance 2, the Black Ops play a much larger role, serving in most battles the player fights in the game. Some Black Ops are found dead with weaponry that the player may use.

The Black Ops wear their trademark helmets to keep Crawlers from penetrating their bodies and infecting them with the Chimeran virus. The helmet does not protect them from Spinners, however, who would be able to spin the normal Black Ops soldier into a cocoon with or without a helmet on.

Trivia

 * The Black Ops are the redshirts of Resistance as they usually always get killed during the campaign, mainly when a new enemy is introduced, such as when a Black Ops solider was ripped in half when the Chameleon was first introduced.
