[freeman1993]

When you finish HL2 ep1 Barney gets on the train and leaves. In Ep2 you dont see him at all anybody know what happened??

Well, you know that beer he owed you? He got slightly tired of waiting for you to find the appropriate time for the pub-crawl, so he pulled over at the nearest publican to celebrate the resitance's victory. Well, one thing led to another... You know how it goes, the lads got a little tipsy, after all, they hadn't drunk alcohol for nigh on twenty years, so they're immunity to it had degraded slightly. Well... He left the pub as drunk as Santa after staying with Louis Latour for the summer and... Well... Some metro cops pulled him over for "driving whilst under the influence". My reckoning is he's in the frunk tank right now, living it up.

;)

[Darkside55]

He died.

Barney's dead.

[Antlion guards]

no hes not...

[Druckles]

He died.

Barney's dead.

I was like. God, this guy's for real. Then I saw you'd posted. And I knew what you'd put before I'd even read it.

Yeah, he's dead, didn't you know?

[goblineat2]

Seriously, how'd he die? I never found out!!!

[LordShadovar]

Seriously, how'd he die? I never found out!!!
Series isn't over.

[Avoidist]

He went to Nova Prospekt. Or at least what's left of it.

[Cheomesh]

Land mine. Brutal and senseless.

[Druckles]

Yeah, and they stuck maggots in his head.

[freeman1993]

DAMN! i didnt know :'(
Poor Barney

[Bill Lumbergh]

It really was tragic.

[Operational]

They made it pretty darn obvious that he had died, I don't know how some of you missed it...

[Iron Kat]

We missed it because he DID NOT DIE. Everything they tell you about Barney dying is all LIES. Well, at least I want to be all lies.

[Narvi]

Man, stop messing with his head. The guy died. He should understand this and get over it.

[Mindshifter]

He didn't die. You see a glimpse of him in EP2.

[Cheomesh]

YOU LIAR!

[Punzz]

They should just make a full Episode dedicated to barney and freeman having a beer. They've been putting it off for so long, somebody just set a date and time already!

[Andrew LB]

Reading this thread makes me crave a beer.

*runs to the kitchen to get a Guinness*

Wait... thats not beer! Thats dinner in a glass! :cheers:

[Cpt Tenacious]

Barney is not dead, I have sources that told me so.

[Attilla]

Andrew - did you know that guiness actually has less calories... maybe it was carbs... than most regular beers?? I saw a special on it once.



and barney is NOT DEAD.

[Samon]

Barney had been fighting for like, a week. He basically led the Street War. I'm sure he's fast asleep on a couch somewhere.

[Attilla]

if ya think about it, barney is basically the field commander, gordon is special ops, and eli is the general.

[Sufferin-rebel]

On a Serious level, I think Barney has possibly gone to look for Mossman, but I'm not sure if he was told about the location of mossman during EP1.
But he could possibly be at some other end of White Forest.

Best bet, he'll be in Episode three.

[Nicky 0123]

Barney isnt dead, but he is the second most likely to die in Episode 3, if he is in it at all.

I think Barney is just sitting somewhere safe (not whiteforest) mostly sleeping and having beers saying 'Ha, too bad you not here Gordon...'

[Acepilotf14]

Of course he's dead.
Ignorant fools.

[Gordon_X]

He ain't dead. If he was, they would put a lot of emphasis on it since he's a major character.

[Gormanmod]

Barney went further in a train. hmmm, what safe house could he have gone to? He didn't go to White forest, he kept going North. Sooooo, hmmm. It has to be Mossman. Swedish gas stations were a secret message of where you were heading, North.

[LandStander]

He'll see ya when he says ya.
Jeeze!

[gabim1019]

I don't think barney will die in ep 3, but i also doubt he'll appear too. I bet mossman will be the one who'll die or probably become a stalker.

[Druckles]

He ain't dead. If he was, they would put a lot of emphasis on it since he's a major character.

No. He's dead. Valve announced it last week.

You miss that bulletin?

[Blackout62]

Someone please tell me if I shouldn't have posted this because the topic hasn't gone humorous yet


The portal explodes derailing Barney's train and thrusting him into the forest around City 17. After Barney climbs out of the wreckage of the train, he makes his way to White Forest. At an abandoned mine, he is gravely wounded by a Hunter while trapped under fallen rubble. He is discovered by a Vortigaunt, who takes him to an underground Resistance base. The Vortigaunts there have the power to heal him; however, they must journey into the nearby Antlion colony to recover larval extract necessary for the healing ritual.

After Barney has recovered, he proceeds to the surface. There he see that a large group of Combine forces in the distance is moving towards White Forest. He acquires a working car and proceed at top speed, slowed down by multiple Combine ambushes. Barney also encounters an encapsulated Combine Advisor, which He attempts to kill by damaging its life support system. The Advisor awakens and demonstrates its telekinetic powers, pinning him to a wall. It seems unaware of what it is holding, as it crushes a barrel and stabs a dead rebel with a tentacle-like tongue before an explosion wounds it, forcing it to flee.

Arriving at White Forest Barney goes about finding beer for Gordon not realizing that Gordon beat him to White Forest by a couple hours and already left by helicopter, it's all very awkward.


and yes this is a edited summary of HL2EP2 and if you haven't noticed by now I feel great pity for you.

dang what a story. sounds familiar though :cheese:

[Tagaziel]

Barney is doing his part in rebuilding humanity.

Meaning, he's banging and partying in Dr. Love's Silo in White Forest.

[Bacons]

It's going to funny to see Barney's reaction now that Lamarr is gone.

[Trodler]

ironically, it will be lamarr that saves the world, kills gman and takes the lid of a fresh bottle of beer barney just cant seem to open...

[smurfy]

There should be a chapter in Episode Three where Alyx goes off to do some kind of crap and we are left with Barney as a companion. We haven't really had any alone side-by-side fighting with him yet.

[Narvi]

Er, yes we did.

It was called Half Life 2.

[Returned3]

Seriously, who cares about him now?
He already ran outta crowbars to give to Gordon

[Andrew LB]

^^^ I definitely care. Barney was a great companion and really helped bring the player a sense of what the world has become after your little trip to Xen. Plus his frequent comical comments are excellent.

[Selkcip]

Seriously, who cares about him now?

Hmm...Barney gave Gordon his crowbar in HL2, then again in Ep1. In Ep2 Gordon finds a conveniently placed crowbar holding up an elevator.
Tis a sign!

No. He's dead. Valve announced it last week.

Hehe, forgot all about that. He kind've sucked in that, though.

[Nomad]

He went to go find the mystical beer he owed you. In Antarctica.

In Ep 3, you find a corpse wearing a civil protection's suit and holding a
Coors Light under the just landed helly-copter.
Ironic.

[Corky]

He died.

Barney's dead.

that's not true
that's impossible!!

[Pinkle]

[Druckles]

He got tired of waiting for Gordon to be free to go for that beer.

So he's having it with Shephard!!1

[Andrew LB]

It's already been stated by Valve.

We know.

I'm not quite up to par on current events... but what exactly was stated by Valve?

[Darkside55]

Barney's train crashed. You remember that scene in the trailer, with Alyx hanging from the tracks? How the commentary said they scrapped it to set up a better introduction for the hunters? They didn't scrap it entirely; they reused it and substituted Barney for Alyx.

He thought of Gordon and the beer he owed him in his last pitiable moments before falling to his death.

[yakuruto]

He's not dead, he's undercover. He infiltrated the remaining Combine forces HQ wearing a purple dinosaur disguise. Oh no! another spoiler... sorry everybody.

[Nibwoddle]

I do belive he got all the beers he owed Gordon, but couldn't find him. This led to him taking the train back to City 17 to share it with all the refugees who somehow were still there. He was so drunk, that he fell into the destroyed Citadel's reactor and was vaporised into another dimension, thus creating the Combine SuperPortal.

[Andrew LB]

Barney's train crashed. You remember that scene in the trailer, with Alyx hanging from the tracks? How the commentary said they scrapped it to set up a better introduction for the hunters? They didn't scrap it entirely; they reused it and substituted Barney for Alyx.

Yes, i've listened to the commentary and they mention nothing regarding any other train. There is only one wrecked train and it was your train. Not Barney's.

Also, Valve is incredibly good at their attention to detail. The chances of them killing off Barney without any mention of it in the game is next to zero.

... all this talk about beer. Man i can use a cold one right about now.

[Druckles]

It was in an interview with Marc Laidlaw... I think you can find it on the main website somewhere.

And yes, they mentioned beer.

... :angel:

They didn't mention it in the commentary; it was a currently-confirmed event. I was simply stating about the commentary because it was relevant.

Also, Valve has attention to detail but they never spoonfeed you the story--you have to go out and find out plot points by yourself. And they did mention it in the game: after the strider battle in White Forest, you hear Barney's disembodied voice congratulate you. Check the subtitles when you play through the game. He's a ghost now.

[Andrew LB]

I snagged this from another forum:

Dear Ben,

Thanks for writing. I'm afraid I can't give out any information about
Barney's whereabouts at this time. I believe there is one citizen at
White Forest who mentions he was on the train that got out just in time,
but not even he makes mention of Barney. (Maybe he didn't know Barney's
name.) Rather thoughtless, I agree. It's good to know Barney has fans
who care about what became of him!

Yours,
Marc Laidlaw


To try and clear this thing up, I shot an e-mail over to Valve about the status of Barney. But I just don't see Valve killing Barney off without any mention of this in the games themselves considering he has been a part of the Half Life universe since the very beginning.

If they completely left Mossman out of Episode 3, it would be no different than your scenario with Barney dying without explanation in the game.

Anyways, I'll post up a reply to my e-mail if it's answered.

[Andrew LB]

And they did mention it in the game: after the strider battle in White Forest, you hear Barney's disembodied voice congratulate you. Check the subtitles when you play through the game. He's a ghost now.

Marc Laidlaw has already said that one of the rebels @ White Forest mentions that he (the rebel, not barney) was on the last train out of City 17 that barely made it.

And considering Gordon's train left quite a bit later, I'd definitely think Barney is still alive and kickin'.

[DEATH eVADER]

When you are attacked by a Advisor in Ep3, Barney will appear shouted the words "Hey, hey you, eat lead you outerspace slug monster!"

That rebel made it. Barney did not. He dead, that's why Laidlaw can't talk about his whereabouts. If he said where Barney 'was,' he'd have to go into the subject of the afterlife, wouldn't he?

[Andrew LB]

Well.... I will have to say that Marc Laidlaw is incredibly prompt in returning e-mails.


Dear Andrew,

We have learned that answering individual letters to fans does not ever clear up anything in the HL2 fan community. Short of a public announcement regarding Barney's fate, nothing will reach all the people, and nobody will believe anything you say I said to you. So resolution of this matter will have to wait until it is made officially--and the only way these things ever become official is when they are in the game.

Regards,
-Marc Laidlaw


edit: By the sounds of things, it would seem that Marc Laidlaw has not definitively answered the question of Barney's fate in any interviews. We'll all have to wait till Episode 3 to find out about Barney. But by the looks of things, he is more than likely alive and will enter the game at a very opportune moment.

Heck... for all we know he went north with Mossman.

[Nicky 0123]

Barney propablly isnt at white forest, and may not be until long after Gordon and Alyx leave.

[Eejit]

Well.... I will have to say that Marc Laidlaw is incredibly prompt in returning e-mails.

That's funny, he said to me in an email that Barney was killed by hunters, I'll try to find it.

[Darkside55]

That wasn't the real Marc Laidlaw, Andrew. The man who responded to you is a fake, or an advanced automated response e-mailer.

I know, because I have the real Marc Laidlaw in my basement and after thirteen hours of flogging him with a wet dishrag he conceded that Barney is dead. He also agreed that Adrian Shepherd crashed the osprey, G-man's briefcase is filled with commemorative plates, Dr. Breen returns as a robot and after another good hour and change he promised that Slick will be eviscerated by houndeyes.

[Eejit]

Oh jesus god no, not Slick! He's too slick to die!

[Darkside55]

Don't think I won't come over there! That's what Laidlaw thought!

BARNEY IS IN EPISODE TWO I FOUND HIM!

When you're fighting the Striders, when you're meant to go to the sawmill before the battle starts, instead, go to the place to the right of it with all the supplies. Walk inside the building and look to your left.

Now, walk out of the building and look to your right.

Then quit the game, reload it, and go to This Vortal Coil. Then quit the game and give me $1000 and then Barney will appear the next time you load up the game and yell 'HELLO HOMIE GET OFF MY TURF I WILL NOW SHOOT YOU LOLROFL'.

[yakuruto]

There, this is exactly what he meant.

He can't tell anyone where Barney is because it would blow his cover. If the Combine finds where he is he would be tortured by being forced to play with cats :cat:

[FrostXian]

Barney's corpse was found in the middle of a resistance HQ, which is safe and well protected. No one knows the cause of his death. The only possible evidence to the cause of his demise are..
Scratch marks over his body..

[Operational]

Marc is just in denial, email him in a few weeks when he has accepted Barney's fate.

[Nuhvok]

Guys, guys... Barney already died in Half-Life 1(and more than once)!!! The guy in HL2 is just an android made by Dr. Kleiner. Gordon isn't that easy in trusting people, so Kleiner thought it would be easier for Gordon to get involved in the resistance if one of his old buddies joined too. The next time you play HL2 have a look at how Barney moves... I find it rather... odd, sometimes(turning without moving his legs, anyone?). Only an android(or other not-human thing) is able to manoeuvre like that!

Greetings,

PS: I'm new on this board, so please be gentle :P !

[Zunni]

Don't think I won't come over there! That's what Laidlaw thought!

[TheBreenMachine]

When Barney and Gordon finally get to set down and have that beer.

*Gordon sitting at the bar with Barney*
*Barney puts away a few beers chugalug style* *belches*
*Barney eats old bar peanuts*
"Are you gonna enjoy your beer Gordon?"
*Gordon lifts the beer mug to drink*

*screen pauses*

*In walks Gman*

"Sorry Mr Freeman, not to say you cant drink on the job but you still have work to do"


I think Barney is still alive. Someone like Barney deserves to have atleast a respectable onscreen death.

[Oreolek]

The last train out of City 17 didn't make it.
It means that Barney won't be able to escape from C.17.
He may be still alive,however - the city hasn't exploded yet,just the Citadel did.A couple of times.
And - c'mon,who's gonna give Gordon a crowbar? :-)
Barney still has access to Kleiner's lab.That means he can "videophone" Kleiner and get all the instructions how to start an automated teleportation sequence City 17 -> White Forest.
This is a slow teleport,and Barney will land in White Forest only a few weeks later.In the Fourth Episode.
He'll hug Alyx,he'll greet Gordon and buy y'all a beer.
By the way,there were two real Barneys back in Black Mesa.One of them looks like in a Gearbox game.The second is a young Barney from half-Life 2.Where is the second one,no one knows.He has been cloned for a thousand times.
I think Barney is alive.Definitely.
He still waits for Gordon and he misses the good old beer no one makes these times.

[Ubik]

His train left a few minutes before Gordon's train did, and despite crashing, the crash wasn't very severe and they survived. But there are a lot of other ways to die. He could be dead, but he could still possibly be alive.

In all seriousness, he's MIA. Just deal with it. Valve will get back to him eventually, I swear.

[ellimanest]

He's alive, you know that crowbar you find in the elevator, Barney put it there! If you look carefully through each level you will find a crowbar somewhere. In the last level, the crowbar is Eli's prostetic leg and if you take it he will fall over and die. This results in an alternate ending. Whilst you do this Barney is watching you through a camera he installed in the H.E.V suit, sitting back and drinking your beer!

[Probydoby]

Barney obviously got on the wrong train, this train makes an u turn and goes back to the city,

[FlotsamX]

The current state of Barney is unknown, as he is not seen at all during Episode 2. It is assumed he made it to White Forest, or some area nearby, but not much else is known.

[The Mild Gatsby]

It was a mistake for VALVe to not say anything at all about Barney in Episode Two.

He's a substantial character. :/

[Operational]

^ No it wasn't, shoehorning him into Ep2 (epecially if his storyline is going someplace else) would be the mistake.

[Leviathan]

Consider the fact that Gordon and Alyx's train was completly derailed by the shockwave, and seeing as the bridge they were on collapsed, its quite easy to assume that some farther down the line did as well, impeding the progress of Barney. Even so, Barney had a much larger group to deal with, and I HIGHLY doubt that they could match the time of Alyx and Gordon made to White Forest, unless the found 10 perfectly preserved 4 wheelers or somthing of that nature. Also, Barney was as cut off as Gordon and Alyx at the beginning of Ep. 2, and wouldnt have had directions. That concludes my hypothesis, any rebuttals?

[Shu`Ulathoi]

One of the rebels in White Forest says: "hey, freeman, i want to say thanks beacuse i was in the train you helped escape". And the only train that Gordon helped to escape was the one with Barney.
Oh, and Barney`s voice can be heard after the final battle.

[Apiary]

Oh, and Barney`s voice can be heard after the final battle.

can you describe where exactly please??

[Shu`Ulathoi]

When the last strider is defeated and you enter the base. You can hear Barney`s voice saying "Good job, Gordon".

[Hobopro]

Prolly on the ship. But that would seem odd in some ways. Or something else.

Why would they kill Barney without showing us in-game? He's too much of a major character. It's not like they can get away with saying "buy HL2: Ep3 oh and btw Barney is dead."

Seriously, if they killed Barney, I think I'd probably punch somebody, form an angry mob, or possibly even cry non-stop for three days or until my parents considered therapy.

[Operational]

But that's the brilliance of it, it will come as such a shock. In fact I expect the one liner from a random NPC telling us that Barney is dead to be the most emotional moment in all of Half-Life.

[Anneliese]

You seem to be under the impression that emotional is good.

[Operational]

You seem to be under the impression that emotional is good.

Err yeah, it's a large point to the game - to make you feel something. To make you feel scared or amazed or say "OMG this is awesome" or to make you laugh, etc, etc.

Hey, maybe Lamarr finally got revenge on Barney...

Yeah, well I'm not one of those chicks who finds joy in a sad movie or video game. I'm one of those chicks who wants to beat the living crap out of somebody when my favorite character dies.

[XmanXavier11]

Yeah, I wonder where barney went. It seems like everyone who came out of City 17 all went to White Forest. Maybe there is a different base somewhere. Maybe Black Forest? :D

[legohalflife2man]

Guys, it's obvious what will happen with Barney in Episode Three:

He is alive, and he will be in Episode Three. At the end of Episode Three, after Gordon kills the last Combine Advisor with a crowbar, it is obvious that Barney will come out of nowhere, and say to Gordon, "Ha ha! I was with Breen all along!" Then, dramatic music will begin to play as Barney begins to crouch-jump around the room aimlessly for about five minutes, acting like this is an excellent battle plan to defeat Gordon. Gordon will then pull out his Pulse Rifle and shoot a Pulse orb at Barney, who is still crouch-jumping, and Barney will be disinegrated in mid-air, thus ending his 5-game legacy. Then, Gordon will pull a beer out of nowhere and throw it in the air at the point where Barney's body was last seen before it was obliterated. Then, Gordon will finally speak after being mute through all of the Half-Life games, and he will say "You owe me a beer, dumbass." Then, Gordon will walk away, crowbar in hand, slowly into a black abyss. Finally, the credits will come up, and at the end of the credits, a picture of Gabe Newell eating a Burger King Quintuple-Stacker will suddenly appear.

What a great way to end the Half-Life series!!!
Am I right, or am I right? :D
