GameCyte got some new information about the buddy system in Far Cry 2
The developers distinguish between primary and secondary buddies which the player is able to unlock by saving them out of tricky situations.

Let’s put it this way: if you’re being very, very careful and very considerate of your buddies, then by the end of the game you will have done a very good job of not alienating them. And if you have been reckless in how you deal with your buddies, or even (chuckles) homicidal in how you deal with buddies – because you can kill them, you can say “Hey, I like that gun,” BLAM, take the gun – then there will be consequences.
