new side kick

[Darkangel]

In Episode 2 who would you want to be your "sidekick" if it couldn't be Aylx?


I choose Barney

[Sulkdodds]

So does everyone else, methinks.

[$kelet0r]

kleiner plus shotgun FTW!!!

[Que-Ever]

Nobody.

[Atomic_Piggy]

In a bad mood, Que-ever?

[Oppressor]

I vote Barney, hes great

[Samon]

None.

[Que-Ever]

In a bad mood, Que-ever?

**** you.

[Oppressor]

None.

Not the whole of Ep2 perhaps, but at some parts

[Samon]

Oh. Well, Barney.

[Oppressor]

I think working close together with your allies adds to the immersion, so a fight or two with Barney would be very nice infact

[Para]

Serious answer:

Barney or Eli.

Silly answer:

Lamarr. He would also come with new weapons, such as "zombie melee attack" and "head coupling".

[Samon]

Serious answer:
Eli.

Hop along cassidy? :rolleyes:

[Absinthe]

Hop along cassidy? :rolleyes:

He could get all meched up and PEW PEW PEW with lasers.

[Hypnosos]

Odessa Cubbage. And later on he dies. Or Father Grigori. They have already worked together in Ravenholm so they have experience together. Hehe... not likely.

[AHA-Lambda]

Kliener with gauss gun!! FTW!

[DannyC.]

Vortigaunts.

[Oppressor]

Odessa Cubbage. And later on he dies. Or Father Grigori.. hmm..

Cubbage can help you form a british infantry square against those bloody Hunters! *bling bling* Samon :cheese:

[Wally_Breen]

Give him the SA-80/L85A2 Assault Rifle

[xirow]

Barney or a new resistance leader or some local forrest guy.

But I hope Gordon is on his own most of the time.

[Sulkdodds]

Local forest guy with a huge moss-infused beard and a sniper rifle. YES!

Actually, I would so love for Father Grigori to return. But he's probably dead. ;(

[GordonFreeman911]

I vote Barns.

[halem111]

if were gonna think logically and serious about this i think there is only one real choice that would fit the role as sidekick for gordon other than alyx and that is.........
wait for it........
....
............
...
Lamarr the headcrabb....

he would perch on your shoulder and attack those darned hunters when there stupid enuf to jump in front of you......mwhahhaa
goes something like this
lamarr perched on shoulder - hunter jumps in front of you in door way - lamarr jumps on hunters face - hunter cant see - you take the hunter down with a swift hit to the back of the head with your crowbar

[jonesey2k]

Mossman.

[jonesey2k]

Give him the SA-80/L85A2 Assault Rifle

Cubbage isnt an L85 man. Hes more of an SLR with a match in the action to make it go full auto man.:E

One thing that amuses me is that people seem to think that cubbage is thick, well hed have to be otherwise in order to make the rank of full Colonel.

[Wally_Breen]

The Einstien Scientist from HL1

[Asuka]

Whatever Valve desides im all for it.

[MuToiD_MaN]

Local forest guy with a huge moss-infused beard and a sniper rifle. YES!
Mossman.
So Mossman, or ... Moss Man!! :dork:

I vote Barney as well.

[DigiQ8]

Adrian ( just to piss off samon )

[Spoonoop]

The g-man?

[Cole]

Father Grigori all the way.
See him running around in a forest. All of the sudden you turn behind you and 2 zombies are running at you then boom they get hit one shot. Then you hear "Hahahaha", and you slightly see something running in the dark.

or......

A friend in Co-Op!!!

[crazyelmo]

Even if he doesn't fight Hunters or Striders I want Dog with me! I would love to meet him before Alyx and after some exploring lead him to rescue her! :D

[bbson john]

Father Grigori. I LOVE Father Grigori. He is so cool!!!!

And by the way, a hawt blonde would just be perfect. sxy Blonde + Alyx + Me= :naughty:

[bigburpco]

No one voted Dog? :| That's a surprise. Anyway, me votes Dog.

[jimmyjam]

Breen.

[Asus]

If I wanted to do all the killing I'd bring either Eli, Kleiner or Barney.
If I wanted to do nothing I'd bring Dog.

Grigori would be awesome. :cheers:

[wlodi]

Barney, of course.

It would be great to hear more of his jokes. ;)

[Oppressor]

Even if he doesn't fight Hunters or Striders I want Dog with me! I would love to meet him before Alyx and after some exploring lead him to rescue her! :D

Ooh yes, forgot about Dog :D
Of course I want to fight and make my way forward beside Dog, he's just so awesome!

[DEATH eVADER]

In Episode 2 who would you want to be your "sidekick" if it couldn't be Aylx?


I choose Barney

I choose Gregorie, nothing is better than having an insane Eastern European preacher packing with a winchester :)

[A True Canadian]

Aside from Alyx, Barney would be the only practical choice.

Eli would be too slow.
Kleiner would be useless with a weapon.
Dog is too powerful.
Mossman's off on some adventure.
Cubbage and Gregori seem to have disappeared and weren't important to begin with.
G-Man is impractical because of the story.
Lamarr would wander off.
Vortiguants make for boring conversation.

You get the picture...

[Captain M4d]

Adrian Sheppard quite obviously. You guys are so dumb.


edit: I like to smell paint.



edit 2: I told my mom to drop me when I was a fetus. She punched me in the nuts instead.

[DEATH eVADER]

Lamarr would wander off.


If she finds a good ventilation shaft to snuggle up into, possibly. But I'm guessing that the player will have hard time with Lamarr trying to suckle on Freemans head

[MuToiD_MaN]

Adrian Sheppard quite obviously.

I was afraid to mention him. But I don't hink he'd be a sidekick, probably more of a nemesis.

[Dr_Crowbar]

Sheps 4 life.

[XIII]

No one voted Dog? :| That's a surprise. Anyway, me votes Dog.

dont you think dogs kinda too big to be his sidekik?

[jonesey2k]

Maybe some unknown? Like some ex-SAS rupert or Green Beret who has been keeping things in check outside the city, from what Ive seen from the vids there are a lot of people out there aswell as lots of buildings ect, they are going to need someone with a forces background to do the logistics ect.

[Llama]

A new side kick makes no sense. Valve have spent two games fleshing out the current characters, why kill them off now?

[bigburpco]

Well, Alyx doesn't have to die. She might just be unconscious, or gone off on some mission.

[Darkangel]

I'm glad to see that my thread has gotton so popular:thumbs:

I have changed my answer to either Barney or Shepard.

[Zeus]

Hmm...maybe we'll go to the combine homeworld in episode 3 and team up with breen if he's still alive. That would be an interesting twist.

But I think valve should let us go episode 2 alone. Like most of HL2 was.

[Samon]

I think the likelihood of visiting anywhere remotely Combine-homeworld type is in the episode trilogy is very, very slim.

[Atomic_Piggy]

Visiting the Combine world, well...sucks. Xen was fine, but to do it two games in a row? Its kinda, scratch that, very cheesy.
Besides, I doubt they have a proper "homeworld" per se, as they live on al kinds of seperate planets.

Theoretically, since the Combine rather suck at portal technology. All we would need to do is block them from teleporting back to Earth. Destroying the Citadel in City 17 is a start (it was the main base of operations for the administration on Earth afterall). A theory is that if the resistance can somehow remove the remaining Citadels/teleporters and erase Earth's location, it would be near to impossible for the Combine to find them again.

What this may involve is Gordon using one of their String based portals to go directly from point A to point B and into the source of the Combine world. Although destroying the technology from that end is likely to maroon Gordon (and anyone else who decides to join him), preventing a return to Earth.

...or something of that degree.

[tehsolace]

Replying to the thread topic: Nobody else. Alyx's character has been designed for co-op... she isn't annoying and she has real depth. I would get annoyed by another character such as barney in certain situations.

[DEATH eVADER]

kleiner plus shotgun FTW!!!

The thing is, he would never be willing to use it. He never has in the past :)

But yeah, I would want him as my sidekick as well, as long as he never gets in the way

[Ennui]

I like Barney more than Alyx.

Pretty much...yes. Destroying the C17 Citadel shut down the entire system, so for the time being, the Combine on Earth are stranded. Like you said, its a start. Destroying each and every Citadel on the planet is impractical, and isn't going to happen. So I assume this 'Project' is somehow a means of blocking the Combines tunneling systems...or something to that affect.

I doubt the resistance would be able to pinpoint the exact location of the Combine homeworld though, and to be honest, they simply don't have a teleporter capable of doing that.

[Grimfox]

I'd bring an anus with me.

[GordonFreeman911]

QFE!!!

:monkee:

[MuToiD_MaN]

Barney became my #1 choice back when I was playing Half-Life. Imagine this:

In the level (I think) where you get the Egon (a.k.a. "gluon gun"), I was running around the level with a Barney, I came around the corner to find one of those big beegun soldiers, whom I quickly dispatched. Barney then proceeded to sprint around the corner afterward, unload his clip into the corpse, then actually has the audacity to shout "Got one!" Barney is a man's man, claiming credit for everything he can. And quite frankly, he deserves it. Even if he doesn't deserve it.

"Yeah, Barney, that's right ... you got him good. :rolleyes:"

[madog]

How insane would it be to have Gman as a sidekick. I would lmfao at the sight of gman shooting that gun in his brief case in a business like way. And throw some pencils. All he has in there is a glock 3 pencils and a computer. But still that would be sweet to have him actually using that power of his instead of just watching the show.
