Freeman's Body Count

Recommended Posts

I had nothing to do today so I decided to make a list of Freeman's kills. This may not actually be accurate in any way, since it is just manual labor. However, Freeman kept wondering how many counts of self defense with an automatic weapon he could still justify, and now he knows how to prepare his lawsuit.

 

I found another thread that did this here already, but it hadn't been updated in almost a year. I thought I'd make a new thread rather than necroing that one. If that's frowned upon I hope a mod can merge the threads.

 

The tally is in spoiler tags since it is rather large:

Ninjas: 7

 

Scientists: 6

Guards: 3

 

TOTAL

508 Aliens

16 Military hardware

165 Hostile soldiers

9 'Friendly' Fire

 

SUM TOTAL:

698 kills

 

Notes:

- I'm not guaranteeing any kind of accuracy here in either the counting or the summing.

- Please do point out any errors I've made.

- This took me about a day.

- Freeman kills more aliens then humans.

- Freeman kills barely more alien soldiers at (grunts, gargs, vorts) 211 than human soldiers and equipment at 181.

- Freeman kills more overseers than barnacles, and barely more houndeyes than overseers.

- The tanks, Apaches and the Osprey destroyed have a combined unit cost of about 135 million dollars.

- Freeman is the most deadly in episode 49, with 44 kills, followed by episode 9 with 35 kills and then episode 59 with 32

kills.

 

edit 1 (2015-01-03). Forgot Bullsquids and Garg. Thanks BTGBullseye and Zaraki.

edit 2 (2015-01-04). One more Garg. Thanks RandomGuy.

Yeah, good luck pinning all that on one scientist who's never fired a gun before, has no military training whatsoever, who has a doctorate in theoretical physicist, is not a member of extremist organizations, and who has been acquitted of petty theft.

Fucking Ninjas, man!

 

Those stats need to make it into a trailer for the series:

1 free man...

1 incredibly unlikely intergalactic coincidence...

600-odd counts of self-defense with an automatic weapons...

 

 

cut to the scene where Freeman shouts : "I have to kill everyone to prove I'm not crazy!"

 

 

A 7 year odyssee in 68 parts - one man on a mission to get home.

And now i can't stop planning to do it.

Thanks. :evil:

Also, it's "I have to BLOW everything up! It's the only way to prove i'm not crazy"!

There is also "I'm on your side! How many of you do i have to kill before you understand that!"

 

You seem to have mixed the two together...

 

Hm, the general theme is Freeman answering the narrator with his shouts.

Benny Hill music does seem to cut it very well.

 

Or, it's Benny Hill music, and no answering.

Or, combine the two...

Sounds about right ;) Maybe both shouts should make it into that trailer.

 

Put the "how many do I have to kill" right after the self-defense statement, then the "blow everything up" after the montage. Although it could've very well been "kill everyone to prove I'm not crazy" given Freeman's sociopathic tendencies :D

Just one question.Any Bullsquids?

 

He's definitely killed a bunch of those. He seems to hate them especially, so I remember quite a few rants about them.

He killed a Gargantua too...

 

I also think there were significantly more baby headcrabs killed, but they all died of explosive perforation intended for the Gonarch, and therefore are difficult to enumerate accurately.

 

Oh, and what about all those poor boxes he killed in his travels? Who's counting them?

Don't insult me. I have trained professionals to do that.

Baby headcrabs were really difficult to count. I forgot to add the Garg.

 

Let me do some fixing...

So Freeman has a body count of 174 people so that means he would be one of the biggest mass murderers in history the disturbing part is there are still a few in real life that have him beat.

Not really, I think the majority of his kills are justifiable homicides in self defense. I would argue almost all are, but if you wanted to give the soldiers the complete benefit of the doubt, you would have to count every kill where a soldier has fired his weapon at him FIRST as justifiable homicide and everything else as a murder. There are iffier situations where the soldier laid a trap, but you're not sure which one. (like the pipe explosion trap).

 

EDIT: You could go farther and argue every soldier point his gun AT Freeman could count, given his circumstances thus far.

Would the crews of the tanks and air craft count as individual kills? I believe the Abrams has a crew of four and the Bradley(s) have a crew of three.

Since I didn't know how many people there were on board (the tanks aren't driving around for example) I just counted it as one, Gimli style.

Doesn't really matter as Freeman's criminal record (had he one) would've been irrelevant as soon as he destroyed Nihilanth and was thrown in stasis for 20 years. The Combine takeover of Earth would've made it irrelevant. And I think any actions that Freeman has taken in Half-Life 2 (and its episodes) and the eventual Half-Life 3 would more than make up for the handful of deaths (comparitively speaking) that Freeman inflicted upon the HECU and Science Team/guard staff. ;)

He kills two Gargantuas, not one.

He does have a few counts of manslaughter though, like the guard who got fried in Blast Pit, and the guard who spooked him by opening the door (though logically he shouldn't even be significantly injured), or the scientist he accidentally shot because he teleported right in front of the scientist at the exact moment he was firing wildly at the Gargantua. And, of course, the two scientists he accidentally dropped down the elevator (though that's arguable, since the elevator still falls anyway even if you don't push the button). But it's notable that he will sometimes not even shoot enemies if they don't attack him first (those two soldiers in On A Rail, the Gargantua in Nihilanth, the Vortigaunts in Interloper).

 

That guard he shot with the magnum in Questionable Ethics because he thought he was working with the soldiers may count as outright murder, though he had a semi-understandable reason in that case.

 

So Freeman has a body count of 174 people so that means he would be one of the biggest mass murderers in history the disturbing part is there are still a few in real life that have him beat.

 

It should be 174 + 242 = 416 people. The military aliens were apparently sapient. Plus, the "extra" people who were in the vehicles when he destroyed them. Even then, though, there are real-life soldiers who have achieved higher body counts than that under worse conditions.

He might have gotten shot in the face, though.

Yeah, Freeman has nothing on Simo Häyhä. 8-)
