I would say it's safe to assume that the CPs in Alyx aren't armed, were as in Hl2 they had the power of a small military on their side. In Half life Alyx we can only see Metrocops as background characters, carrying stunsticks, at the beginning balcony, we can watch a Metrocop standing guard at the street below, his hands appear to be holding a weapon altough I noclipped there and he doesn't hold anything at all. In hl2 the stripes just went along the boots without any visible zipper. Now finally their pants are green with white stripes which police do irl for some reason too, their boots are high black boots which have a inner and outer zipper in white. It might also just be that the combine could finally enforce decent mobile connection throughout the world, I mean seriously they wanna make 5G in Germany and we barely have 3G yet allone Wlan everywere smh. I assume the bulky one is a long range transmitter to amplify their signal, the speaker unit is probably to act as a megaphone, all the devices being connected without cables but with some sort of combine bluetooth magic. The lower belt has a speaker unit and a walkie talkie on the right side, on the left side there apears to be a radio unit which is more bulkier. The CP's wear two belts altough only one has anything on it. The torso is rather odd tbh, there's a zipper in the middle which seems to be the same zipper connected to their uniform, altough the straps on the side, under their arms say that this is a seperate vest from their uniform, it seems like there's a V shaped cutout of the vest which is fixed to the uniform itself, were as the vest is seperate. The gloves are more detailed in alyx then in the old Hl2, we can see a strap to tighten them up and yet again white stripes on them. I originally assumed the white markings on the CP's are reflective altough we will see actual reflective stripes on the Combine worker later so this isn't the case here. Here we can see that the white stripes showing on the shoulders are part of the uniform, we can also see a pouch on their upper arm area with velcro on top and a zipper, the previous white stripes that went along the arm were removed since they didn't seem very realistic I supose. The mask is probably inspired by the soviet PMG gasmask, due to the line you see under the eyes and probably also the GP-5 gasmask. This design shows a less militaristic design, the filter in the middle and the more simplistic comms unit shows that they're a police force that doesn't need perfect co-ordination or a mask that suits aiming of rifles etc. The eye pieces are just regular tainted lenses. The mask has a filter on the front and probably a sound outake on top of it. There's a small box on the back of the mask, possibly it's energy supply. On each side there's a small lever on the circle itself, it may be the push to talk button for the radio. Here you can see the Metrocop gasmask, it stayed basiclly the same from Half life 2, altough the backend area has more details and is allot cleaner, the two round objects on the sides are probably their hearing intake, which is also connected to their radio via some sort of Combine bluetooth since there is no cabel connecting them.
