I have a feeling they will leave it for sequels. They'll probably keep Hicks alive and GB will think they're saving the Alien saga.
Somehow, I don't think they will. I think they'll give him the death he deserved, which won't include sleeping or a pipe falling on his face.
That would be nice. I'd like to see him go down fighting. However, Hicks is such a highly-regarded and loved character; it's too easy to keep a hold of him and bring more appeal for the game and any subsequent sequels, especially for a developer as fan-crazy as gearbox. It wouldn't surprise me if gearbox kept Hicks alive, not only because he's a loved character, but simply because a lot of people still haven't gotten over his cheap death and want to see a happy ending for him. The mere fact gearbox brought him back, the fanboy-ish nature behind it, makes me think Hicks might actually come out a hero, more or less. But it's anyone's guess, we'll have to see how his role in the game plays out.
