Well, not quite. But pretty close.
Spoiler, thanks for spoiling Starship Troopers.
People who've said Barney's going to die because he's a "useless" character, just another gun, someone who's outlived his purpose obviously aren't thinking correctly. Barney fulfills a very important role, and that's being Gordon's friend.
Barney is Gordon Freeman's last known living friend. Everyone else is something else to Gordon: Vance and Kleiner are his mentors, the resistance looks up to him, Alyx is not just a sidekick but possibly a love interest, the vortigaunts follow Freeman out of honor...everyone else Gordon interacts with on a friendly basis has some other relationship to him. Gordon and Barney are FRIENDS. Though they've really only known each other since Black Mesa, they're comrades. Barney is a familiar sight, he's like a stability in this world; as Grizzly said, he's survived so much that it seems almost impossible for him to die. Which is precisely why his death will be such an impact. Gordon is going to lose his last friend on Earth to an uncaring alien empire. Imagine what he'll feel when that happens; imagine what you'd feel?
Barney is going to die. He is going to die and he is going to lament about never buying Gordon that beer.
It'd be pretty lame if you finished up the HL2 story without a few deaths.
Kliener is an old man with no hair. You and Alyx have been captured before.He's an old man with a peg leg. He's been captured before.
What about G-man dying I can imagine how emotional that would be.
barney is THE MAN. but you're right. he was always the comedy character, which is nonessential to the story. the other characters are far too important. although...I think it will be Barney. I can't see Mossman dying, as I believe she'll have a role to play in Episode 3. Kleiner...no, absolutely not, Kleiner cannot die. Eli? Possibly, it'd have an impact on Alyx and the resistance, but I feel I've seen too little of Eli and I'm not quite ready to see him go.
I honestly can't see Alyx going either. And definately not Dog. I feel Barney has played his part. He's rallied the resistance into open war against the Combine and he helped evacuate the City.
Please don't kill Kleiner.
Don't worry, theres another 250 dozen of them hanging around the ruins of black mesa
I've said in a couple threads now, including this one. Barney is the likeliest candidate for death because he's Gordon's friend. And if you were going to kill someone meaningful without hindering the ability for the story to continue (such as killing a scientist character, or Gordon's love interest) then Barney is the obvious choice. Which certainly isn't to say that Barney could be "replaced," or that the scientists are plot-invincible; quite opposite on both counts. Barney's close friendship to Gordon is a role that no one else in the cast fills, nor could it be filled by any newcomer (unless that character consistently appears in every game from now until the end of the HL series). Which means that killing Barney completely throws the player for an emotional loop. Especially since he's not only Gordon's friend and a familiar face to boot, but because he's a lighthearted character. He's always making wisecracks whether in battle or downtime, and killing him would severely dampen the mood of the story.also darkside, why is barney going to die, dammit? you never said, and I want to know why.. because I want him to live. obviously.
I think Judith will die. Nobody cares about her much anyway.
