Barney

Barney is your accomplice throughout the entire mod and is strong as a mule and can you get out of all sorts of sticky situtations. His full name is Pvt. Barney Calhoun, and is most likely, associated with the MIKE Force, as he is also wanted dead by Sgt. Kilmore. Cpt. Freeman first met Barney during the first mission, Still in Saigon, he knocks on his door and notifies him that he is wanted by Command. He transports him there with his truck outside the SOQ downstairs. After Freemans makes his way inside, and is told about his target and mission, they give Barney to him as a "grunt" to aid him on his quest. Barney not being the most helpful character, can still prove quite some usefulness during the game. He is armed with 1911 handgun and wears a Helmet, with a bullet vest, camoflauged pants and boots. Throughout the mod in levels such as, Outpost on the Edge of Darkness, The World of survival Horror and many others, he can operate many things and objects that others that lack the intelligence to do so. Tragically, Barney is captured during the the last mission, Kurtz. Freemans fights his way through Zombies and SOG to look for him. He is found hung upside down in the Freezer room in a crashed Spacecraft at the end of the Valley. However, when trying to rescue him, it is seen as a trap, and the Freezer doors close, and he passes out from the exhaust. Even to more horror, once Freeman wakes up, Kurtz strolls by a Ritual, tosses Barneys decapitated head to Freeman in his cage. From then on, Barney is technically dead, but the player is to take his severed head, find his corpse in the Rat Cages and reanimate his corpse to a friendly zombie.
