Why in beta you can rescue npc who gets captured by barnacle but now in retail they immediatly die when they get caught

In reality, we are uncertain, but it is possible that they intended to demonstrate the ragdoll physics, or this aspect was prone to errors. To put it another way, in the previous version of Mega Build, if you were killed by a barnacle, it would result in a crash. Therefore, you can draw your own conclusions.

probably just a goldsrc thing since in hl1 you can save npc grabbed by the barnalce ,but in hl2 for some reason you cant even though (i think)they are still alive beacuse they make sounds when you shoot them
