I get way too attached to bots like them. I even have a kinda name for one of them: "shotgun nurse" she's a medic who always turns up at the same part and always with a shotgun and the same character model.

The player doesn't really build up a relation with the NPC's in the squad. So I wasn't particularly bothered if one of them kissed the ground.

Mine usually survive. but then they can't follow me more than 2 minutes without getting stuck and despawing. so I usually kill them when they stop following

I sort of get mad when they run straight into the fight. That is pretty lame. But really, it was one of the few games in which I wasn't sad when they died. They would just run around. Honestly, they weren't characterized enough and they made me mad because they run into enemy fire. The only reason I was upset was because I lost a bullet sponge.

You don't have to defend that you felt emotion in a game, the best games make you feel things like that.
Although I doubt many people feel anything when one of the faceless spacefillers die.

But what is HL2?
Furthermore, what is love?
Since we do not know what both are, we must come to the conclusion That HL2 is love.

I hated squad bots.

If one died, I'd just be happy that they'd no longer be around to tell me how and when to reload my gun. It's not like they actually helped me kill anything.

No, they all have a tendency to get in my way and not move when im trowing a grenade, thus causing me to die.

I believe Pat Benatar came up with Love is a Battlefield but I prefer yours, by far.

I'd like to, but considering they're stupid enough to stand in the open uselessly firing the MP7 at Striders until they get pelted with hot blue-white death, I just can't manage it.

HL2- If they werent nearly unkillable to begin with i would care more, right since i know whether or not they live isnt important at all... since they respawn, and combine soldiers are made out of wet toilet paper.

In game where AI allies -dont- respawn, i usually try hard to keep any ally i got in good shape for as long as i can. The first Half-life game i usually got out of my way to gather a small army of "Barneys' in the early part of the game.

I'm going to use your poll to rant about something that bugs me.

WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE PUT IDIOTIC OPTIONS IN POLLS?!

What's HL2? is not an appropriate option. It skews the results because people that think they're clever click on it. If you don't play the game, then you don't need to be voting. Period. A poll should almost never have more than three options (and two will work for most situations): Yes, No, and Maybe (Sort of applies for yours as well). That's it. That's all that's needed.

It's not funny. It's not clever. It's annoying.

/rant

And, no. I don't feel sad. They all look the same. I DO try to keep them alive, but I won't reload or anything if they die. This applies for all games.

I certainly try and keep them alive, and I feel a small part of myself go [small]"nooooo"[/small] when one dies...
This.

I really wish someone would patch the game so they aren't so fucking retarded though.
