The second machine gun had a different secondary fire in the "tunnels" movie, what happened to that?

The blue snake thing made out of water seen in the "tunnels" movie, where did that thing go?

The movie "traptown", shows a completely different down, where you fight combines instead of zombies, and you are able to use two really dangerous looking traps witch arnt in the game. Such as throwing a grenade to blow up the support bracket holding an I Beam back and which takes out a bunch of combine. By the way, is there any other traps then the engines with blades and the gas igniters?

What happened in Dr. Kleiners lab in the movie "kleiners lab", Alyx turns around and notice some scanners, gives you a smg and tell you to run, then a Strider breaks throu the wall.. when did this happen in the game?

Also, in the "kleiners lab" movie, Alyx tells you to snap out of it if you look at her a while, why dont that work in the game? Plus Kleiner tells you to be careful when you push a monitor down from a table, but when you use the gravity gun and shoot a monitor at him, he just ignores you completely.

In the movie "docks", you see a place that could well be the start of the game, but when you play the game, you never actually see a place that even reminds you about the movie. Where did this map go? and why was it excluded?

In the movie "Bugbait" you see that he is using a weapon that is named OICW, but this weapon wasnt found in any part of the game, where did this weapon go?

Also, the "Bugbait" movie shows a different situation at the place where it is happening, then in the game.

The movie "Barricade" shows that you fight side-by-side Barney and some resistance members, trying to get through a barricade, and when you get through a gunship appears. In the game, it is a lot longer fight then what is shown in the movie, this is good, but where did this fight go?

Two monsters from Half life 1 were told to be in Half life 2, the bullsqid and the ichthyosaurs, now the ichthyosaurs was seen during the transportation problem, but the bullsquid was not to be found anywhere in the game.

Roumors (And some web-pages) tells about a Sniper rifle, the OICW and molotov cocktails, but these are not to be found anywhere.

And where are there Prowler guys?

Also missing: A decent AI. :peacefingers:
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of 'hot xxx galore'. While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", I muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

If I remember correctly, the Prowler was only a concept character, but they used the AI for it for the Fast Zombie.

As for the rest, I dunno.

The blue water snake was removed b/c they said it was nice to watch it kill combine, but was a pain in the ass against you.

All of that stuff was scripted for e3 and not even in their final idea for the game. Things were taken out, things were put in. You can still find the one house sequence in ravenholm, so some of the e3 content was used for the final product. Not much of it though.

As for the OICW, it was removed to put more emphasis on the gravity gun - same reason for low ammo capacity on most guns and low damage.

I suppose they wanted Kleiner's lab to be early in the game and for the crowbar to be your friend for a little.

I think it all worked out for the best, however.

maybe they should make a hl2: deleted scenes cause it sounds better just like that other game they did before... oh yeah it was called condition zero.
