There weren't any new weapons in Blue Shift.

Wasn't there the m4, the .203 et cetera, all beit the m4 was the only "new" weapon, the others were just upgraded models

The m4 was just a different model and sound for the same gun. It still had the same rate of fire and damage.

As for the Bullsquid, I can't think of any place it could have been used, at least, not anymore than a few places. You could've got some in some tunnels, but the rest of the game wasn't really very Bullsquid friendly. They wouldn't have fit into the "Combine launching headcrabs" theme of Ravenholm nor the inner city. Maybe if we go outside the city in an expansion pack we'll see them.

Same with the Icthy. I can't think of many areas that it could've been used, other than sometimes at the beach. Hence the lack of AI.

Again though: you have AI from HL1... why not just pop it in and send them off? Or at least have the AI in there for fans to play with right out of the box? It would have taken a couple of minutes after work while someone was waiting around for a texture artist to finish something up.
