First-person shooters are typically never shy when it comes to big body counts, but Gordon Freeman’s career as an alien “problem solver” has apparently hit some staggering numbers. A Reddit user has tallied every bad guy the glasses-wearing physicist put down in the\u00a0Half-Life<\/em><\/strong> series to date, and the results are impressive.<\/p>\n

It’s been over ten years since Freeman’s last official outing, with the\u00a0conclusion of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 <\/em>remaining indefinitely\u00a0unresolved. While players\u00a0may never see the conclusion to his\u00a0story in the\u00a0Half-Life<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>universe,\u00a0the MIT physicist and former Black Mesa researcher has proven remarkably handy with firearms, crowbars, and gravity guns.<\/p>\n

Reddit user TK-576 said they, along with some friends,\u00a0have determined that Freeman has\u00a01,527 kills across all his titles, when subbing in the Black Mesa\u00a0<\/em>and Black Mesa: Xen\u00a0<\/em>remakes for the original\u00a0Half-Life<\/em>.\u00a0The game-by-game breakdown is as follows:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Half-Life<\/em>\u00a0(1998): 526 kills<\/p>\n

\u2022 Black Mesa<\/em> (2012): 399 kills<\/p>\n

\u2022 Black Mesa: Xen<\/em> (2020): 178 kills<\/p>\n

\u2022 Half-Life 2 (2004)<\/em>: 751 kills<\/p>\n

\u2022 Half-Life 2 Episode 1<\/em> &\u00a0Episode 2<\/em>: 199 kills<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

It is worth noting the researchers only tallied enemies that do not infinitely spawn, due to constraints on time, available ammunition, and character reasons. Even though that is a lot of dead aliens, HECU soldiers, and Combine units,\u00a0Gordon’s kill count is still overshadowed by\u00a0other protagonists like Max Payne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, while heroes like Nathan Drake and Max Payne dispatch soldiers, crooks, and rival gunfighters, the Half-Life<\/em> franchise pits Gordon against a host of terrifying creatures<\/a>. Even without this consideration, there is still a way that Gordon’s kill count could be considered one of the highest among video game action heroes.<\/p>\n

By killing the Nihilanth at the end of\u00a0Black Mesa: Xen<\/em>,\u00a0Gordon indirectly catalyzes the Combine invasion of Earth, as its enthralled Vortigaunt forces are the only thing holding back the Combine empire. In that sense, every death\u00a0resulting from the Seven Hour War could fall on Gordon’s head.<\/p>\n

Freeman\u00a0may not be finished, either, as\u00a0Half-Life Alyx<\/em>‘s ending preps the series for a third installment<\/a>. Should another Gordon-centric Half-Life<\/em> installment appear, TK-576 assures gamers that it will be added to the tally.<\/p>\n

It may be a long time before the next title arrives, however. Gabe Newell has stated that\u00a0Half-Life<\/em> games are supposed to solve problems<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0represent technical breakthroughs for the video game industry as a whole, as opposed to merely driving sales and advancing the franchise’s story. Fans have shown they are willing to wait for quality, and it’s a fitting legacy for a science-themed franchise that mixes its gunplay with physics puzzles.<\/p>\n

The Half-Life<\/strong><\/em> series is available now on PC.<\/p>\n
